Paul Erickson was having a sexual relationship with the red-headed-red (caught red-handed and -I read- headed to prison for a long time) … AND helping her infiltrate US politics and the Trump campaign….

Some folks have already taken liberties with Paul Erickson’s wikipedia Page (not me, I swear):

Paul Erickson is an American Traitor conservative political operative and lawyer who has been involved in several Republican schemes with the Russian Federation and Trump’s presidential campaigns.[1][2] He has strong ties National Rifle Association and is banging a Ginger, Russian woman as of 2017, Also in 2017 he was subject to federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.

Back in 2017 we knew a little of this:

A conservative operative trumpeting his close ties to the National Rifle Association and Russia told a Trump campaign adviser last year that he could arrange a back-channel meeting between Donald J. Trump and Vladimir V. Putin, the Russian president, according to an email sent to the Trump campaign.

A May 2016 email to the campaign adviser, Rick Dearborn, bore the subject line “Kremlin Connection.” In it, the N.R.A. member said he wanted the advice of Mr. Dearborn and Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, then a foreign policy adviser to Mr. Trump and Mr. Dearborn’s longtime boss, about how to proceed in connecting the two leaders.

Russia, he wrote, was “quietly but actively seeking a dialogue with the U.S.” and would attempt to use the N.R.A.’s annual convention in Louisville, Ky., to make “ ‘first contact.’ ” The email, which was among a trove of campaign-related documents turned over to investigators on Capitol Hill, was described in detail to The New York Times.

Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign, secured a guilty plea on Friday from President Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, for lying to the F.B.I. about contacts with Moscow’s former ambassador to the United States. But those contacts came after Mr. Trump’s improbable election victory.

And HERE is an interesting little factoid:

Following his graduation from University of Virginia Law School, Erickson spent the bulk of the late 80s and 90s working a series of GOP political campaigns, including Pat Buchanan’s unsuccessful primary bid against incumbent President George H.W. Bush. When the campaign took them to New Hampshire in January 1992, Erickson got into a parking lot brawl with members of the Bill Clinton campaign, according to the Rapid City Journal.

The next year, Erickson put his political aspirations on pause to serve as media adviser for John Wayne Bobbitt.

Bobbitt was asleep in his Virginia home on June 23, 1993 when his wife Lorena used a kitchen knife to cut off his penis, though it was later successfully reattached. As his media adviser, Erickson reportedly booked Bobbitt on his international “Love Hurts” tour during which they sold t-shirts and autographed steak knives.

The Sioux Falls resident has also been at the center of several legal battles brought by those who have invested in his business over the years. He’s also been taken to court over unpaid debt. The Rapid City Journal uncovered $421,212 worth of court judgement against him since 2003.
