John Kasich Adviser Who Repeatedly Cried Collusion Registers As Foreign Agent To Lobby Against Russian Sanctions

The Washington, D.C. swamp is full of hypocrites, but it is not every day when one’s hypocrisy is on full display as it is right this minute for former Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) adviser John Weaver.

For the past two years, Weaver and his former boss have stoked the Russia-collusion narrative — going so far as to suggest Special Counsel Robert Mueller was wrong not to charge former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort with conspiracy because he gave internal polling data to a Ukraine associate. On April 18, 2019, Weaver tweeted, “This is collusion. This is conspiracy,” in response to a section of Mueller’s final report detailing Manafort’s interactions with his associate Konstantin Kilimnik, whom the media suggested had ties to Russian intelligence.
