I’ve started seeing Chichikov everywhere. He is named in the Panama and Paradise Papers; he sponsored the Republican tax legislation and visited Puerto Rico to impose austerity and award government contracts to the profiteering electricians of Whitefish, Mont. When Ben Carson spent $31,000 on an office dining set while slashing funds for public housing, there was Chichikov, who also planned the Fyre music festival and signed Jared Kushner’s security clearance.
