An explosive report sheds new light on Republican presidential nominee
Mitt Romney’s time at Bain & Company, describing how the firm made
millions on big tobacco by helping Philip Morris increase its revenues
in the United States, and aiding two other tobacco titans to dominate
the Russian market. According to the Huffington Post, "Romney’s
consultants helped foreign firms and aspiring oligarchs decide how to
corral Russia’s riches — including writing a official manual that
outlined how best to navigate the process. At the same time, Bain
leveraged its contacts with senior Russian officials to arrange
sweetheart deals for its tobacco clients." We’re joined by Zach Carter,
senior political economy reporter at the Huffington Post.Video
