United States politicians are certainly no strangers to controversy, scandal and even criminal activities themselves. While I won't go as far as some do in calling our very President a criminal, there is a decent chunk of America that thinks that way - at least we can say in America that the leader of one the Republican party isn't a convicted fraudster, hacker and thief.

Golubov has a past, though.
