Yuri Vanetik, a mysterious Soviet-born funder and Republican official posts selfies with Republican leaders on social media. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Former House Speaker John Boehner, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Rudy Giuliani (left to right).
Yuri Vanetik, a mysterious Soviet-born funder connects the anti-Magnitsky effort to Donald Trump.
The other connective tissue between Rohrabacher and Russias efforts to end the Magnitsky sanctions is Yuri Vanetik, a self-proclaimed financier and Republican official. Vanetik is a Rohrabacher donor and lives in California but was still somehow appointed the National Finance Co-Chair of the New York GOP in March.
Vanetik was born in Soviet Ukraine in 1970 and claims his family fled to the U.S. to avoid political persecution. This is striking because his father Anatoly was a major political and business figure in the Soviet Union working directly with the Russian Oil Ministry even after the fall of the USSR. In 2014, Yuri penned an op-ed calling for the U.S. to drop sanctions against Russia.
He claims a career in law but we couldnt find any records of him being admitted to the bar in California, although he was licensed in Pennsylvania. Hes been embroiled in two lawsuits for allegedly defrauding investors in of Valueluck and Private Equity Management Group.
In February last year, Vanetik and several business leaders started the Great America PAC to help elect Trump. The PAC was well-funded with $26 million and was willing to accept donations from anyone, no matter how legal.

Keep reading for financial ties to Russia, Trump properties, and money laundering.
I'm not sure how I missed this. Am I the only one?
Bonus: Here he is with Rand Paul who started pushing a conspiracy theory this week.

Putin probably bought off two branches of government quite easily and cheaply.
And no one has even bothered to check the bank accounts of our judiciary.

Thanks for this. I can't keep them all straight, but I'm pretty sure I've seen this guy -- but NOT his Rand Paul connection.
