WATCH: Rachel Maddow Connects All The Scary Dots In Trump-Russia Scandal

On Monday night’s show, Rachel Maddow spent the opening segment of her show connecting the dots between Russia’s invasion and interference into Ukraine and Donald Trump associates’, including his personal lawyer, secret plan to help lift sanctions from Russia.

Maddow opens the segment by walking us through the history of the Russian-friendly Ukrainian dictator that was driven out of Ukraine.

Maddow also walks us through the connection between a Russian oligarch, who is closely connected with Russia, and several Trump associates including Trump’s personal lawyer.

Then Maddow turns to the question of why these Trump associates, who have no formal or informal role in the government, are working on a secret plan to help lift sanctions from Russia.
