Stone was a consultant in Bob Dole’s 1996 campaign before being forced out in a sex scandal, and he was campaign manager for Trump’s abortive 2000 campaign for the Reform Party nomination. Manafort ran the 1996 convention for Dole. Black was chief advisor to John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, and he worked for Mitt Romney in 2012 and John Kasich in 2016.
McCain’s campaign manager in 2008 was Rick Davis, who was partnered with Manafort in his new firm of Davis Manafort. Davis and Manafort arranged meetings in 2006 with McCain and Putin crony Oleg Deripaska, at a social gathering in Davos and seven months later at a reception in Montenegro celebrating McCain’s birthday.
Manafort’s work for Deripaska from 2005 until 2009 is often treated as proof of Trump-Russia collusion. Guess who else worked for Deripaska? Christopher Steele, the British ex-spy who assembled the infamous dossier that led to the ongoing investigation. Amazingly, Steele reportedly lobbied for Deripaska even while meeting with the FBI’s Bruce Ohr to promote his dossier “exposing” Trump and the Russians.
