Former Congressman John Sweeney Hired by Russian Bank

You won't hear much about this on local talk radio even though it's a block buster story. The Daily Gazette published a front page story detailing the hiring of the infamous former congressman by a Russian Bank tied directly to Vladimir Putin. You can read it here.

He's being paid a whopping $62,500 a month or $750,00 for the year to lobby against sanctions.
Yeah right, he would not call back the Gazette to discuss his hiring or his work.

Sweeney worked for the Trump campaign. Wonder how his name came up for this job???

Democrats keep saying Trump's campaign was accepting Russian help citing meetings etc. But here's a paycheck with a lot of questions for everyone.

We wonder how this news will sit in Rensselaer County where Sweeney is the attorney for the county IDA. Ouch! Look out Amazon, you'll be sending a paycheck to a guy working for the Russians when that distribution center comes into play.
