[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, Browder says that two people in the "inconsequential" June 9 2016 meeting at Trump tower -- lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and ex Soviet intelligence guy Rinat Akmetshin -- were hired by the Russian Government to repeal the Magnitsky Act, which has the potential to freeze Putin's ill-gotten $200 billion secreted away in the West.

Here's what he says about Rinat:

Through HRAGI, Rinat Akhmetshin, a former Soviet intelligence officer naturalised as an American citizen, was hired to lead the Magnitsky repeal effort. Mr. Akhmetshin has been involved in a number of similar campaigns where he’s been accused of various unethical and potentially illegal actions like computer hacking.

Since he's an American, can't he be subpoenaed to testify before Congress?

Ugh! Could this get any uglier? [/quote]

Actually it will get much uglier  Follow the money trail to the US lobby shops who were in turn hired by the Russians  to lobby for repeal  of the Magnitsky Act and see which party was involved.  [/quote]

Don't keep me in suspense! Where does the money trail lead? Link, please? [/quote]
