I googled Alpha Omega Wines nd The Luding Company and this article came up.
BOMBSHELL: Devin Nunes Entire Net Worth Sunk In Company With Strong Ties To Russia
If todays fiasco, which came courtesy of House Intel chair Devin Nunes, wasnt enough to convince anyone that he cant conduct a credible investigation into whether or not Trump and his teams colluded with Russia, then this should be: Nunes has put almost his entire net worth into a winery with strong ties to Russia.
How strong? Well, the Alpha Omega Winery has distributors all over the U.S., but just a few abroad. One of those overseas distributors is the Luding Trading Company in Russia. Luding is, in fact, Russias largest distributor for alcoholic beverages. But they dont just operate in Russia they also appear to have a relationship with Vladimir Putin:
If Russia were truly a free, democratic state, then maybe this could be overlooked as nothing more than a large company wishing the leader of a country that had given them so much a happy birthday. But Russia, under Putin, is anything but truly free. With Luding being the countrys largest distributor of alcohol, its highly unlikely that Putin doesnt have his fingers in it somewhere. The fact that Nunes has his money sunk there is a pretty big deal.
Its also odd that Alpha Omega Winery would have a relationship with Russias largest distributor when they only have a relationship with one Western nation (Switzerland). They dont have any relationships with any other distributor in the EU, which means no relationships with NATO allies at all.

I'm sure this is all coincidence, right?

(1,182 posts)1. It smells like a money-laundering scheme
But then, so is pretty much the entire global banking system these days...
I'll bet Nunes has more than $51K too. It's just buried somewhere else.
What a weasel!

Investments after 14 years of Congress is frankly, fishy.

He's a cowardly Republican but hardly a Putin puppet

ah, the Amazon of far right conspiracy theories. Of course he does. And now he gets to star in his own thriller conspiracy!
