Firm Behind The Fake Trump Dossier Also Worked On Behalf Of Russia

Well well well. This inconveeeeeeeenient.

Remember the dirty Trump dossier? The dossier published by BuzzFeed and CNN? The dossier that claimed President Trump hired prostitutes to urinate on a bed that the Obamas slept on? The dossier that’s been widely discredited but was still used by the FBI to push the Trump/Russia investigation?

Yeah. THAT dossier.

As we’ve told you before, the firm behind the dossier, Fusion GPS, is incredibly sketchy and has a history of attacking right wing individuals and causes. What’s more, the firm has been trying to stop Senate investigators from looking into the firm’s ties to Democrats. Perhaps this is why.

As it turns out, the firm behind the dossier also worked on behalf of the Russian government.

The testimony of Bill Browder, the CEO and co-founder of Hermitage Capital, shed new light on the dealings of the controversial company Fusion GPS — which was tied to the dossier of spurious claims about President Trump. According to Browder, the company also conducted a “smear campaign” against him in a bid to fight Russia sanctions.

 

Further adding to the complexity, Browder also testified that this campaign was orchestrated by Natalia Veselnitskaya – the same Russian attorney who sought the highly scrutinized Trump Tower meeting last June with Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

 

“They were talking about a repeal of sanctions so that Russian torturers and murderers could keep their money in America,” he testified.

That’s quite the narrative twist.

But more broadly, Browder’s testimony skewered the Fusion firm itself, along with co-founder Glenn Simpson.

 

He said the Russian lawyer, working through an intermediary, hired Simpson to “conduct a smear campaign against me and Sergei Magnitsky in advance of a congressional hearing on the Global Magnitsky Act.”

 

Browder had hired the late Sergei Magnitsky to uncover details of massive financial fraud in Russia involving corrupt Russian government officials. Magnitsky was imprisoned and ultimately beaten to death by Russian officers in Moscow. In the wake of his death, the U.S. passed a law in his name that brought sanctions against Russian oligarchs suspected of money laundering.

Browder described the tactics Simpson allegedly used to discredit him and Magnitsky.

There are still a ton of rabbit trails we could go down, but the point here is, the left-wing firm that commissioned the fake Trump dossier worked on behalf of the Russian government. You KNOW Democrats don’t want that narrative out there, but President Trump was all over it.

In other words, Russia was against Trump in the 2016 Election – and why not, I want strong military & low oil prices. Witch Hunt! https://t.co/mMSxj4Su5z

Of course, you won’t hear about this on CNN or MSNBC. They’re only interested in #FakeNews, after all.
