Trump commerce secretary's business links with Putin family laid out in leaked files

Summary: A government which is run by billionaires, some of whom work directly with Putin's family (Wilbur Ross for example), is choosing for the USPTO to be run by the very industry it's supported to govern (just like the FCC, EPA, and soon HHS, to name a few)

"President Donald Trump's Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is doing business with Russian President Vladimir Putin's son-in-law, a bombshell new report revealed Tuesday." That's today. The report was published just a short while ago and confirmed what was alleged before, based on leaks.

"Classic "revolving doors" example."That's the man who, just earlier today, put Iancu (the name is apparently Romanian, not Russian) from the patent 'industry' in charge of the USPTO. Classic "revolving doors" example. The new USPTO Director is Iancu, as noted 10 or so hours ago here (see direct link to the source; it's not textual).

Who needs to "drain the swamp"? Whoever comes after Trump (and his cabal of oligarchs), who nominated Iancu after Wilbur Ross had conducted interviews. This is a Director whose view on patents we covered here before [1, 2, 3]. Truly disturbing. ⬆
