One name I had heard mentioned a while back in regard to Trump's Russia connections was Carter Page. I heard the name Carter Page connected with a conspiracy theory, which holds that a large Russian oil company-- Rosneft-- gave a big stake in the company to an unknown recipient in December. The catch is, Rosneft has been struggling mightily since the US imposed sanctions on Russia in regard to the annexation of Crimea. The new owner of that stake in Rosneft will find themselves extremely wealthy if the sanctions against Russia get lifted. That's the conspiracy theory, anyway... along with the innuendo that the new owner of that stake in Rosneft might happen to be "some individual" who happens to have the power to lift US sanctions against Russia.
I didn't put much stock in it at the time, but Carter Page has been in the news in the last couple of days. So perhaps the names "Carter Page" and "Rosneft" are worth keeping in mind as this Russia business moves forward.
