Russia probe: Democrats block key witness against shadowy firm Fusion GPS
Fox News ^ | July 26, 2017 | Brooke Singman

Senate Democrats used a parliamentary maneuver Wednesday to cut short a high-profile hearing, where a key witness was set to testify on Russia's misdeeds and also raise fresh allegations against the company behind the infamous anti-Trump dossier.

Bill Browder, the CEO and co-founder of Hermitage Capital, was set to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee that the co-founder of the firm Fusion GPS was hired to conduct a "smear campaign" against him. Further, he planned to testify the campaign was orchestrated by Natalia Veselnitskaya -- the Russian attorney who sought the highly scrutinized Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort in June 2016.

Browder released written testimony ahead of the hearing but his public remarks were delayed when Democrats invoked the "two-hour rule" to protest Republican efforts to repeal ObamaCare. The seldom-used rule bars committees from meeting more than two hours after the full Senate begins a session.

The Dims do not what a REAL probe of “Russian” matters.

There is Dim collusion with foreign interests all over it, as well as Obama using U.S. intelligence services for domestic political spying, that I suspect was coordinated with the Dims’ collusion (as in, Obama, acting through subordinates in communication with non-administration Dims - you guys get Trump Jr in a compromising meeting so we can use it to get a FISA warrant approved, and then our deep state will pass the “intelligence” back to you.) Just my guess.

Democrats continue to act like they are in charge, even when they are not. Republicans need to do more than act like they are in charge, they need to take charge. Screw the Dems’ “parliamentary maneuver”!

Ghee !
I wonder WHY !
< /SARC>

NOT !

The Democratic National Committee REFUSED to allow their computers and servers to be searched for evidence.
WHY ?
I propose that
Consider the following information about the SO CALLED Russian Hacking.
I believe it was the Democratic National Committee who was DOING the hacking and leaving FALSE TRACES of the Russians.
We MUST INVESTIGATE the Democratic National Committee's servers ! ! !

Let's review a few pieces of history, such as: Now based on the articles linked above, I propose to you that it is VERY POSSIBLE AND CREDIBLE
On the other side of the issue is: Now, I trust former Senator Jim DeMint, and I trust Rush and Glenn.
But all former Senator Jim DeMint has is the document he was shown and briefed upon, and they came from a corrupted agency under Obama and his minions.

In closing, let me make it clear that

This is what precisely infuriates me that the Left is screaming that Trump is some kind of Manchurian candidate. When we had the Manchurian candidate for eight years.

And this also makes the Osama killing with burial at sea look even more suspicious than it already was. These AWAN brothers look like they were living in the same area as Bin Laden.

Obama was nothing more than a Muslim spy with a suspect birth record.

Boomerangski! Everything that Trump’s enemies bring against him backfires on them. Everything. Amazingly, they still haven’t figured it out. Just wait until they realize that Trump and Sessions have been playing them while setting even more traps.

It’s not clear that Browder’s testimony will be favorable to Trump. Browder is worried that Trump or congress might repeal or modify the Magnitsky act (sanctions against Russia for the murder of Magnitsky). Remember Vesilnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who met with Trump Jr.? Browder says that she worked with Fusion GPS to smear him. Also remember that Fusion GPS tried to smear Trump Sr with the Steele dossier.
I wonder if Browder is going to suggest that Vesilnitskaya offered dirt on H in exchange for lifting the Russian sanctions.
