More documents point to 2016 Trump Tower meeting as collusion between Russian and Clinton operatives. Russian lawyer at center of Tower meeting, Natalia Veselnitskaya, was Fusion GPS client-Lee Smith, Real Clear Investigations, 8/13/18…(Senate Judiciary transcripts, May 2018, also show 'Russians' at the meeting were Hillary supporters)

Posted below after Real Clear Investigations article are Diana West reports on 2018 Senate Judiciary Committee interview transcripts of Tower meeting attendees. (Russia didn’t “send their best” in this case, rather a bunch of bumblers).

8/13/18, 2016 Trump Tower Meeting Looks Increasingly Like a Setup by Russian and Clinton Operatives, Real Clear Investigations, Lee Smith 

“The June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between high-ranking members of the Republican presidential campaign staff and a Russian lawyer with Kremlin ties remains the cornerstone of claims that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election. 

A growing body of evidence, however, indicates that the meeting may have been a setup — part of a broad effort to tarnish the Trump campaign involving Hillary Clinton operatives employed by Kremlin-linked figures and Department of Justice officials. This view, that the real collusion may have taken place among those who arranged the meeting rather than the Trump officials who agreed to attend it, is supported by two disparate lines of evidence pulled together for the first time here: newly released records and a pattern of efforts to connect the Trump campaign to Russia. 

The first line of evidence includes emails, texts, and memos recently turned over to Congress by the Department of Justice. They show how closely senior Justice Department officials and the Federal Bureau of Investigation worked with employees of Fusion GPS, a Washington-based research firm reportedly paid $1 million by Clinton operatives to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign. 

They reveal that then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, the fourth-highest-ranking official at DOJ, coordinated before, during and after the election with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, who did work for the Clinton campaign and Russians; and former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, who was employed by Simpson. 

Those emails, which disclose the topics of discussions but not their details, revolve around two business executives: Donald Trump and Oleg Deripaska, a Russian aluminum magnate close to President Vladimir Putin. Steele was particularly interested in resolving issues concerning Deripaska’s U.S. visa, which was revoked in 2006 because of his suspected ties to organized crime.

In another sign of the overlapping strands of this story, when Special Counsel Robert Mueller was running the FBI in 2009, the bureau had asked Deripaska to contribute millions of dollars to help locate former FBI agent Robert Levinson, captured in Iran in 2007 while working for the CIA. Levinson remains missing. 

The Ohr-Steele-Simpson correspondence appears to include references to the former British spy’s work for Fusion GPS on Trump’s ties to Russia. Months before the election, Steele wrote Ohr to say that he would be back in Washington soon “on business of mutual interest.”

The cozy relationship was bolstered by the fact that the wife of the senior DOJ official, Nellie Ohr, was employed by Fusion GPS. 

After Steele was dismissed by the FBI for speaking to the press for an October 31, 2016 report, Bruce Ohr took over the work of relaying Fusion GPS’ opposition research on the Trump campaign directly to the FBI. 

The culmination of their combined efforts, the 35-page dossier of unverified Trump/Russia connections, was used by the FBI to secure a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. The Department of Justice did not respond to RealClearInvestigations’ requests for comment, nor did Glenn Simpson’s lawyer, Joshua Levy. 

The second line of evidence reframing the Trump Tower meeting — after the Ohr-Steele-Simpson correspondencewas first reported in June by RealClearInvestigations. It shows that, starting in March 2016, FBI confidential sources and other figures associated with Western intelligence services and the Clinton campaign approached the Trump team promising damaging information on Clinton. The Trump Tower meeting appears to have been the most successful of these approaches, since it was the one instance where the Trump campaign signaled it was willing to receive incriminating information on its opponent. 

These two strands of evidence – the DOJ’s collaboration with Clinton-paid researchers and efforts to connect the Trump campaign to Russia – came together in midtown Manhattan on June 9, 2016 at Trump Tower. 

At the center of it all was Fusion GPS, which had two clients whose interests were served by the Trump Tower meeting: the Russians and the Clinton campaign. 

Even though no evidence has emerged from the meeting of any dark conspiracy, appearances were evidently enough. In sworn Senate testimony last year, Simpson claimed the meeting corroborated one of the key claims made in the reports filed by Fusion GPS contractor Steele: “Trump and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals.” 

Nonetheless, Simpson also testified that he had no knowledge of the meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and others until it was reported a year later. There is reason to doubt that account. 

In fact, the Russian lawyer at the center of the meeting, Natalia Veselnitskaya, was his client. 

She has publicly stated that she used talking points developed by Simpson for the Russian government in that discussion. Kremlin officials also posted the allegations on the Prosecutor General’s website, and shared them with visiting U.S. congressional delegations. 

In addition, Simpson has testified that he had dinner with Veselnitskaya the night before the meeting and the night after. 

Accompanying Veselnitskaya to the meeting was Russian-American lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin, who had served in the Soviet Union’s military counterintelligence service. His role remains unclear, but evidence suggests he may have been the source Simpson was alluding to in December 2016 when Ohr recorded that Simpson told him, “Much of the collection about the Trump campaign ties to Russia comes from a former Russian intelligence officer (? not entirely clear) who lives in the U.S.”
.........
Veselnitskaya hired Simpson in spring 2014 for work that lasted, according to Simpson’s Senate testimony, until “mid to late 2016.” 

Fusion GPS assisted Veselnitskaya — representing Pyotr Katsyv and his son Denis, both Kremlin-tied businessmen — in her campaign to repeal U.S. legislation sanctioning Russian officials under the 2012 Magnitsky Act, which was named for Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian corruption whistleblower who died in police custody. Simpson, sources told RealClearInvestigations, was tasked with running a smear campaign against the driving force behind those sanctions, Chicago-born financier William Browder, who had employed Magnitsky. 

Although the Trump campaign agreed to meet Veselnitskaya to receive dirt on Clinton, she succeeded in turning the meeting’s focus instead to the Magnitsky Act and Browder – including Simpson-generated claims accusing Browder of tax evasion and embezzlement. Citing her public acknowledgement, Browder told RealClearInvestigations, “It seems to me that Simpson wrote the talking points about me that Veselnitskaya used in her meeting with Donald Trump Jr.” 

Although Browder was unaware of the Trump Tower meeting, he was so concerned about Fusion GPS’s work on behalf of Russian interests that in July 2016, he lodged a complaint with the DOJ against both Simpson and Akhmetshin, for failing to properly register as foreign agents while working for the Russian government.

Instead of raising red flags, Browder’s concerns appear to have been ignored. Ohr continued to work with Fusion GPS.

Records show he quickly responded to Simpson's Aug. 22, 2016 email whose only text was the chummy subject line “Can u ring?” 

And the DOJ and FBI used the dossier prepared by Simpson’s firm – which drew on Russian sources — as evidence to obtain a warrant in October 2016 to monitor the communications of Trump team [alleged] adviser Carter Page [who never met Trump]. 

The warrant was renewed three times, twice after Sen. Charles Grassley, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, sent an inquiry to the Justice Department in March 2017 on the status of Browder’s complaint. It has still not responded to Browder’s complaint. 

With Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen reportedly speaking to Special Counsel Robert Mueller about the Trump Tower meeting, congressional Republicans are pushing back on the interpretation of the meeting as evidence of Trump collusion with Russia. They argue that the meeting shows the collusion is between Russia and the Clinton campaign. 

“Simpson approached the Clinton campaign through its law firm and said he could dig up dirt on Trump and Russia,” said one congressional investigator. “The difference between the Trump and Clinton campaigns’ willingness to take dirt on its opponent is that the Clintons went through with it and paid for it. While their source, Glenn Simpson, was working for a Russian oligarch” a reference to the Katsyv connection. 

A lingering mystery of the Trump Tower meeting is the man who helped arrange it, British music publicist Rob Goldstone. On June 3, he emailed Donald Trump Jr. with an offer originating in a meeting in the office of the prosecutor general—Veslenitskaya’s point of contact with the Kremlin. Goldstone promised “official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.” 

Trump Jr. promptly responded: “If it’s what you say I love it.” 

The specificity of the phrasing in Goldstone’s email appears designed to establish the case for collusion: “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

Even more curious than the wording of Goldstone’s email is the role he played in arranging the meeting. Goldstone, who has kept a low profile since news of the meeting broke in July 2017, testified before Congress that he now regrets his part in it. 

According to the dossier, Trump himself as well as aides Paul Manafort and Carter Page were in clandestine contact with the Russian government. “If that was really the case,” former FBI agent Mark Wauck told RealClearInvestigtions, “it’s not clear why the Russian government needed a British music publicist to make an overture. And why would Moscow need to send a Russian lawyer who didn’t speak English to Trump Tower? That tends to confirm that the meeting was intended as a setup.” 

On June 9, 2016, Goldstone brought Veselnitskaya to meet with Trump Jr., Manafort and Jared Kushner at Trump Tower. The senior Trump campaign officials were disappointed to find out that she wanted to talk about Browder and his associates. 

Trump Jr. cut the appointment with Veselnitskaya short. But if this were a sting operation, engineered by Simpson, with likely assistance from Justice Department officials he is now known to have been in regular contact with, the damage had already been done. 

“The purpose of the meeting,” one congressional investigator told RCI, “was to substantiate the Clinton-funded dossier alleging that Trump was taking dirt on his rivals from the Russians.””

Among comments:

“The Ancient… 

“The approach to Papadapoulous and [Carter] Page were exactly the same setups as this….The FBI/CIA/Fusion groups constantly offered bait in the form of dirt on Clinton to the Trump campaign from early spring of 2016 through to the election…While, as the author points out, Fusion GPS and the Clinton campaign accepted a great deal of Russian sponsored or originated information on Trump. Hence the infamous dossier.”
………………………. 

Added: May 2018 Senate Judiciary Committee interview transcripts support the same conclusion as above, that it was a setup, as Diana West reported: 

8/5/18, Russians for Hillary Redux,DianaWest.net 

I am reposting all three parts of “Russians for Hillary,” which first appeared here on May 30-May 31. Drawing mainly from interview transcripts released in May by the Senate Judiciary Committee, the series demonstrates that there was not one Trump supporter among the “Russians” who made the pilgrimage to Trump Tower to “help” Donald Trump.

Further, the record shows that this building block in the case of “Russian collusion” against President Trump,  was actually set up by a motley bunch of Russian-Americans, one Russian, and their British facilitator, all of whom we should now, finally, come to understand as … “Russians for Hillary.”

Part 1. 

Earlier this month [May 2018], the Senate Judiciary Committee released a set of transcripts of interviews and exhibits related to its “Inquiry into Circumstances Surrounding Trump Tower Meeting."

I am looking at the interviews from the “Russian” side of the table, the people who sat across from Don Trump Jr. as he waited expectantly to hear an incriminating story about Hillary Clinton that never came: Irakly “Ike” Kaveladze, Anatoli Samochornov, Rinat Akhmetshin, the Britisher Robert Goldstone. There is also the written testimony of Natalia Veselnitskaya.

Whether there is anyone who still believes this meeting was anything but a set-up from the get-go, it’s notable that these interviews show us there was not one Trump supporter among the Russians there to “help” Trump. You might even call this weird posse, “Russians for Hillary.” 

Take Irakly “Ike” Kaveladze. He moved to the US in 1991 and became a US citizen in 2001, still retaining his Russian Federation passport. He is so pro-Hillary that until he learned that the meeting with Don Jr. would not feature information incriminating to Hillary, he didn’t even want to go. 

Kaveladze: Look, I didn’t want to be a part of a meeting where some negative information on a Presidential candidate would be discussed. So, honestly, I was considering if I realized during the lunch that the meeting would be about negative information on Ms. Clinton, I ‘ m not going to go to that meeting . 

Q. Why not?

Kaveladze: Because I don’t want to be a part of a — first of all, I voted for Hillary and my family voted for Hillary, and so I didn’t want a part of this. 

So touching. 

Then there’s translator Anatoli Samochornov, who also moved to the US in 1991 and became a citizen in 2002. He retains his Russian Federation passport, too. Huffington Post writes: 

A registered Democrat, Samochornov works with clients on all sides of American and international politics. 

In his Senate interview, when asked to list the VIPs he has translated for, Somochornov listed only big Democrats: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Kerry, Joe Biden. 

HuffPo: 

But his own views appear to be progressive. On Facebook, he has shared clips from MSNBC host Rachel Maddow’s show, labeled former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and Bush-era adviser Karl Rove as losers, and posted in favor of expanded health care coverage and more restricted access to guns. 

Sounds like another Hillary voter at the Trump Tower table. 

Next is Rinat Akhmetshin, who came to the USA in 1994. He became an American citizen in 2009, also retaining his Russian Federation passport. 

(Note to President Trump: Enough with the “dual” citizenship program).

As Chuck Ross reported, Akhmetshin has met Hillary Clinton and knows people who worked on her campaign. More than that, he is very closely connected to the Clinton machine through his longtime business partner, mentor, advisor, Washington lawyer Edward Lieberman, whose late wife Evelyn served as deputy chief of staff to President Clinton and also as a top adviser to Hillary Clinton in 2008. (Evelyn Lieberman died in 2015.) As a lawyer, Edward Lieberman has had extensive business dealings in Russia and Democrat ties of his own, having worked, for example, as counsel for The Albright Group, founded in 2003 by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. 

Here’s Akhmetshin’s take on the Trumps. 

Q. Was it a significant event to you to meet Donald Trump, Jr.? 

Akhmetshin: No, I was amused, and I’m not a fan of the whole family, so — I was kind of curious and amused mostly. 

On the day of the meeting, it seems that Akhmetshin and Lieberman rode up together from Washington to New York on the morning Acela. They were going to attend a play that evening, Akhmetshin explained, in which a Russian relative of Akhmetshin’s was appearing. 

But first, the day. 

When asked if he knew of Veselnitskaya’s trip to New York before she arrived, Akhmetshin gets noticeably dodgy: 

I do not remember specifically whether I was specifically aware of her presence in New York at that day, but now in retrospect, I think I had some general kind of understanding she might be in New York … 

Akhmetshin, however, was just minding his own business, shopping, “holding a shirt, so I had to manage the phone and the shirt,” when Veselnitskaya called him up and invited him to lunch. (Lieberman was off attending to some personal business in blissful ignorance.) At lunch, Veselnitskay invited Akhmetshin along to Trump Tower to the meeting with “Trump’s son.” All very spontaneous. 

That evening, Lieberman, Akhmetshin, also Veselnitskaya and Somochornov, go to the “beautiful” play, starring Akhmetshin’s relative.  

How much more film-noirish can this get? 

Q. You mentioned that you had dinner beforehand with Mr . Lieberman. Did the subject of the meeting ever come up? 

A. I didn’t mention to him. 

Which is not answering the question. 

At another point in the interview. 

Q. I’m sorry. I’m not sure if I understood you . Did you say that Ed Lieberman was a close confidant of Hillary Clinton? 

Translation — My head is exploding, what did you just say???? 

A. His wife was close confidante of Hillary Clinton.

Q. And do you know if Ed Lieberman had a relationship with Hillary Clinton or just his wife? 

A. Oh, he knew her well, I’m sure.

Q. And did you know that before June 9th that he was a confidant of Hillary Clinton, or his wife? 

A. Yeah, I knew all the time. I mean, from the first time I met him (1998). 

Q. And so knowing that, it never occurred to you to say, “Hey, I just had a meeting where Hillary Clinton’s name came up “? 

A. Again, I try to be discreet.

Not to be cute, but this still isn’t answering whether Akhmetshin and Lieberman discussed the meeting, regardless of how the subject came up. 

Q. You also said that you met somebody for drinks beforehand. Who was that? 

A. I don’t even remember now.

Q. Was it a friend of yours? 

A. A friend of mine, yeah.

Q. So you have no idea who it was? 

A. I don ‘t remember. I don ‘t even remember whether — honestly, it’ s been such a long time ago. It’s not uncommon for me to meet people or … 

Naturally. 

As for La Veselnitskaya, this seems to be the closest we get to politics in her written statement. 

Q: Did anyone discuss “hacked” emails belonging to the Democratic National Committee, Hillary Clinton, John Podesta or the Clinton campaign? If so, please explain. 

A: No, no one did. I was not even aware of this then, since I was at that time not very interested in politics and what was happening with the pre-election campaigns in the United States. I didn’t care who would win.

The day after Inauguration Day 2017, Veselnitskaya seemed to care very much. Here is the poisonously anti-Trump “Putin’s puppet” meme that she posted on her Facebook page, since removed.


.......
Part 2. 

Yesterday [in Part 1], drawing mainly on interviews with the Senate Judiciary Committee, I set forth the direct statements and strong indicators that all four of the “Russians” in the infamous meeting at Trump Tower set up to assist in the election of Donald Trump were against the election of Donald Trump. 

Thus a key vector of so-called “Russian collusion” was actually activated by a bunch of Russians for Hillary.

I put “Russians” in quotation marks above because three of the four have American and Russian citizenship both. One is even the longtime business partner of an American lawyer, Edward Lieberman, whose close associations with Bill and Hillary Clinton go back at least as far as when his late wife Evelyn was deputy chief of staff for President Bill Clinton. 

In his Senate interview, Rob Goldstone, the Brit who coordinated the meeting via email with Don Jr., by the way, also revealed something of interest in his along these same political lines. 

The bizarre series of relationships that led to this 20-minute meeting at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016 center on Goldstone’s capacity as the rep of a Russian pop star, Emin Agalerov, whose “Russian oligarch” father Agar Agalerov had partnered with the Trump organization to stage the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow. Approaching Don Jr. [by email], Goldstone dangled information from the Russian “Crown prosecutor” via Agar Agalerov via Emin Agalerov that was described as incriminating to Hillary. 

Didn’t they get rid of the “Crown” about 100 years ago? Anyway, in his interview with the Senate, Goldstone makes it clear that his client was no Trump partisan, either — despite this (unfulfilled) proffer of political assistance. 

Having written to Don Jr. — “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump – helped along by Aras and Emin” — Goldstone drew a line of questioning from Senate staff. In response, Goldstone tried to walk the “government” part back, saying he should have instead said “Russian support,” not “Russia and its government support.” “It’s sort of a bad clause,” he concludes, lamely. 

Personally, I would like to have seen a follow-up question regarding whether anyone helped Goldstone write the email and suggested such language, but the interviewer was interested in what Goldstone meant by suggesting Agalerov help. 

Q. And other than arranging the June 9th meeting, what form of help did this take? 

A. Emin had posted on his social media: My friend Mr. Trump, vote Mr. Trump, he’s done well. He has won in wherever he won. 

I may also add that we’re very nonpartisan. A few months before that, we had an idea that Emin had a song called, “Woman,” and we put it to images of Hillary, and I had thought it would be a great thing to suggest to the Clinton campaign, because it was a great song that summed it up. And Emin posted that on his social media as well.

A few months before … the line of attack was set? Before the “Russian collusion” trap was sprung? 

What we know is that four “Russians” and their British faciliator walked into the inner sanctum of the Trump organization under false pretenses. None of them were on the MAGA team, American body or Russian soul. 

On the contrary, there were strong sentiments and even connections among them to Hillary Clinton. 

But there’s more. Three of the four (Veselnitskaya, Akhmetshin, Somochornov), have been involved in a larger, complex enterprise in Putin’s interest, according to the conventional wisdom: to lobby against Russian sanctions (the Magnitsky Act). I emphasize Putin’s interest to highlight the apparent contradiction. “Helping” (colluding with) Trump, according to the party line that was set by our completely discredited “Intelligence Community,” is supposed to help Putin.

But these Russian characters all seem to be Hillary lefties, Dems, and even a “progressive.” 

Also, three of the four (that we know of) have links to Kremlin intelligence. Akhmetshin, identified by the House Intelligence Committee as a “former Soviet intelligence officer,” will zig-zag around the question of the nature of his intelligence ties, seemingly depending on whom he is with. The New York Times notes this version of the story: “He told some journalists that he worked with a military counterintelligence unit, but said he never joined Russian intelligence services — unlike his father, sister and godfather” (Emphasis added.) Clearly, it’s all in the KGB family. 

Kavelkadze’s links to the KGB show up to a partnership noted by US authorities circa 2000. 

From the Guardian: 

Kaveladze [who, noted above, is such a big Hillary fan he almost didn't go to Trump Tower meeting for fear anything negative would be said about her, he and his whole family voted for her], a 52-year-old executive at a Moscow-based property firm with ties to Trump, was found in 2000 to have created hundreds of shell companies for a $1.4bn scheme that US investigators suspected was used to launder Russian money through American banks. 

According to US officials, Kaveladze’s partner in that operation was Boris Goldstein, a Soviet-born banker whose ties to former KGB officers attracted interest from US investigators after he moved to California in the early 1990s. 

This may be a silly question, but why do Sovet-born bankers with ties to the KGB get to move to California at any time? 

“We have obtained information that indicates that this individual [Goldstein] has had a close relationship with companies associated with members of the former Soviet Union’s intelligence agency,” the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) said of Goldstein in a little-noticed footnote to a report in 2000. 

And then there is Veselnitskaya. After months of denying any and all connections to the Russian government, Veselnitskaya last month [April 2018] told NBC News, “I am a lawyer, and I am an informant.

Since 2013, I have been actively communicating with the office of the Russian prosecutor general.” 

What do you know, this news broke on April 27, 2018 — the very day that the final report by the House Intelligence Committee on Russia and the 2016 election became public. 

What a coincidence! 

Part 3. 

The evidence leading to the big Veselnitskaya “shocker” — that the Russian lawyer was an informant for the Russian government all along was a set of her emails, which suddenly and anonymously appeared in the electronic dropbox of Dossier, an organization set up by Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky, “the former tycoon” the New York Times tells us (not oligarch?), “who was stripped of his oil holdings, imprisoned and then exiled from his native Russia."

Note that the release date of the Veselnitskaya story, April 27, 2018, is the same as that of the final report by the House Intelligence Committee on Russia. What do you say Agent Veselnitskaya story was a little “insurance” against the report being a blockbuster? Nice distraction, if necessary. 

On April 28, 2018, Bill Browder pops up on NPR to comment. 

SIMON: Let’s start with the story of this lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya. She told NBC, I am a lawyer. I am an informant for the Russian government – after claiming that she wasn’t anybody’s agent. You know her, right? 

BROWDER: I know her really well. She was trying to repeal the Magnitsky Act, which I was very instrumental in passing. And she did a lot of terrible things in Washington and New York to try to do that. And she had always presented herself as some kind of private citizen. When she calls herself now an informant, I would say that doesn’t go nearly as far as what she really is. She is an agent of the Russian government. And the emails that came out yesterday pretty much prove that. And so what we know now is that an agent of the Russian government, proven by emails, showed up in Trump Tower, trying to get Donald Trump Jr. to convince his father to repeal an anti-Russian Magnitsky sanctions act. 

Maybe the host is supposed to say, AHA! But this is not an “AHA” moment. 

Three of the four Russians at the Trump Tower meeting (at least) should be regarded as actual or potential Kremlin agents, which tells us we are looking at some kind of act by some kind of hostile penetration. Domestic (Clinton)? Foreign (Russian)? Both? Or were they just FBI “informants,” too? 

Given Akhmetshin’s pipeline into Clintonworld via Edward Lieberman, plus what we now know of these Russians being also, politically speaking, on the Hillary team, and professionally not exactly strangers to the ways of Kremlin intelligence, we’ve got some dots that don’t connect, not the way we’re told. Remember, too, that Veselnitskaya had earlier been granted special immigration paraole  by Obama AG Loretta Lynch.

Of course, there could be a perfectly rational explanation for all of this… 

Back to the storyline we are supposed to stick to: 

SIMON: Now, Republicans on the House intelligence committee released that report this week, heavily redacted, saying that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia. You believe they missed something? 

BROWDER: Well, I actually don’t believe either the Republicans or the Democrats when they produce these reports because these are not objective reports. Everybody is arguing their partisan interests. 

How non-partisan and above it all — why, no wonder Browder renounced his American citizenship — so declasse, so bourgeois! 

The “self”-made billionaire continued: 

The one report I will believe will be the report of Robert Mueller. He’s a totally impartial law enforcement investigator who will come to the truth, whether it was collusion or it wasn’t collusion. But when a partisan group puts together a report, it doesn’t really hold much credibility for me. 

Rather than cue up a good, old-fashioned primal scream, I will note this short list of Mueller’s “totally impartial law enforcement,” and this epic peroration on same by Rep. Louie Gohmert. 

Heed Browder’s voice of agit prop. It is telling us what we need to know.”
………………

Comment: Hillary could easily have won if the Democrats hadn’t kicked their voters out the door by the millions noticeably from 2011 on. The Democrat party has become as bad as the Republican Party.
