WHO IS BILL BROWDER? PUTIN ASKS FOR TRUMP'S HELP IN QUESTIONING BILLIONAIRE FOR 'ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES' IN RUSSIA

During a press conference with President Donald Trump in Finland on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would allow special counsel Robert Mueller to interview Russians indicted for interfering in the 2016 presidential election if Russian law enforcement can access people connected to one man in particular: the London-based financier Bill Browder.

“Business associates of Mr. Browder have earned over 1.5 million dollars in Russia. They never paid any taxes, neither in Russia nor in the United States, and yet the money escaped the country and was transferred to the United States,” Putin said Monday. “They sent a huge amount of money, $400 million, as a contribution to the campaign of Hillary Clinton. That’s a personal case, it might have been legal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal… So we have a solid reason to believe that some intelligence officers accompanied and guided these transactions, so we have an interest in questioning them,” Putin added.

**SNIP**

"I did not [funnel money to Hillary Clinton]. I'm not a U.S. citizen, I don't live in the United States, I've been living in Britain for 29 years, I make no campaign contributions," Browder told CNBC Monday. "I should also point out that Vladimir Putin and his regime have accused me of serial killing, of being a CIA, MI6 agent, and about a thousand other things, so he's kind of unhinged in these accusations."

But in 2005, Browder ran afoul of Putin and was deported. According to Browder's version of the story, which he has detailed in numerous interviews, Russian officials stole documents from his company’s office, re-registered the company in someone else’s name and then used his investment fund to obtain a fraudulent tax refund of around $230 million.

Maybe someone should ask Hillary.

What nut here really thinks Putin is anti Stalinist?

would you give up so easily what you dedicated your life to?

he’s done good things for us with NO intention of them helping us. They just did.

He’s right in this case. And he’s smart.

But the least thing is, is against Stalinism.

How strange would it be that it would be Putin who would save the USA from these punks who want to bring it down? Just may happen and I think that's why the deep statists are losing their schit over this meeting. Look at this tweet by Brennan, he comes across to me as a guy totally in a panic....

Yet , not suprisingly, not one mention of it on Drudge. He leads with Putin Dominates.

His grandfather was leader of the CPUSA. Lived in the Soviet Union for a time, married a Russian a Communist wife.

This whole thing is a post-Soviet communist power struggle.

Two items: Browder is the chief guy feeding the material to the House/Senate effort to create the Magnitsky Act (totally against the Russian gov’t). He’s also connected to Fusion GPS.

You might note as well...he gave up US citizenship to avoid taxes.

He’s also connected to Fusion GPS.

His "connection" is that Fusion GPS was hired by the Russians to attack Browder.

https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/07-26-17%20Browder%20Testimony.pdf

Veselnitskaya, through Baker Hostetler, hired Glenn Simpson of the firm Fusion GPS to conduct a smear campaign against me and Sergei Magnitsky in advance of congressional hearings on the Global Magnitsky Act. He contacted a number of major newspapers and other publications to spread false information that Sergei Magnitsky was not murdered, was not a whistle-blower and was instead a criminal. They also spread false information that my presentations to lawmakers around the world were untrue.

You got to ask yourself one question.

Who do you trust more? Pooty Poot or the American Deep State? And I'm being very generous with the "American" part, considering that list includes Hillary, Obama, Brennan, and Anderson Cooper.

Browder gave up his American citizenship and went to live in Russia. A hedge fund manager. He is now a citizen of U.K.

Putin wants him big time. This person LOBBIED to pass the Magnitsky Act in 2012.
