One of the gaping questions that have gone unanswered is why has Mueller not taken Putin up on his offer to go question the Russian intelligence officer he has indicted in Russia? Putin said he would allow Mueller and his team to travel to Russia and be present at the questioning of 12 Russian military intelligence officers the special counsel previously indicted for hacking into the computer systems of the Democratic National Committee and the emails of Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman. Putin wanted to question the former American diplomat, Michael McFaul who was appointed by Obama. Interestingly, it was Senator Chuck Schumer who introduced on 07/19/2018 the resolution to deny Putin to question any Americans including Bill Browder. John McCain, the sponsor of the
Magnitsky Act, led the charge among Republicans to support Schumer’s resolution to deny any investigation into the
Magnitsky affair. The Senate vote was a resounding 98-0 to deny the questioning of
ANY Americans by Russia. This is one of the most curious cover-ups in modern history even after the
questionable report that was released on the Trump Tower Meeting that was all about the
Magnitsky Act.
The tail gets even more interesting when we look closer at the infamous Trump Tower meeting Mueller has been investigating. Russian-born lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin worked closely with the research firm
Fusion GPS which commissioned the infamous
Steele Dossier on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC to smear Trump and begin the entire Russia-Gate affair. Interestingly, Akhmetshin also attended the infamous
Trump Tower meeting.
Natalia Veselnitskaya was the Russian lawyer who also attended the Trump Tower meeting and in turned US prosecutors later retaliated and
charged her with a single count of money laundering. To add further to all of these coincidences, one of the lawyers involved in the
Trump Tower meeting was
Scott Balber, who also worked on my case and was familiar with the Russian connection involving Edmond Safra and Republic National Bank and his assassination (
Death in Monaco)
. Yet Akhmetshin and Veselnitskaya worked with
Fusion GPS in an effort to expose the truth behind the
Magnitsky Act. Fusion’s main task was investigating Bill Browder, the London-based financier whose lobbying efforts led to the
Magnitsky Act passage. (see also the film
)
I have stated many times that I was asked to invest $10 billion into
Hermitage Capital by Republic National Bank. Edmond was the major shareholder. This is the fund that Browder claimed he was Putin’s number one enemy and Magnitsky was not a lawyer but an accountant. There would have been no incentive for Putin to have killed Magnitsky for he would have been a witness against the entire cabal of bankers seeking to take over the Russian government by blackmailing Yeltsin to step down and stuff in their puppet Boris Berezovsky, who flees to London when Putin comes in an amazingly interesting incident hangs himself in Britain (see the movie the
Forecaster).
The ultimate client for
Fusion GPS, Akhmetshin, and Veselnitskaya was Katsyv, whose firm,
Prevezon Holdings, which was sued by the Justice Department for allegedly laundering money stolen during the tax fraud scheme uncovered by Magnitsky. Interestingly,
Prevezon’s payments to Akhmetshin and
Fusion GPS were routed through its U.S. law firm,
BakerHostetler. That arrangement was the mirror-image of its work for the Clinton campaign and DNC. On that project,
Perkins Coie, the law firm for the Democrats, paid
Fusion GPS $1 million to investigate Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.
BakerHostetler paid
Fusion GPS $523,651 in 2016. Entangled in this entire affair is not just Hillary’s paying
Fusion GPS to create the dossier on Trump and the strang banning of Ambassador McFaul appointed by Obama and any possible connections with
Fusion GPS. Most interesting is the fact that Bill Browder also donated money to Hillary. He donated
$17,700 to Clinton and another $297,000 to the Democratic National Committee.
Also entangled deeply is the
Bank of New York Money Laundering case for $7 billion and of course the involvement of
Republic National Bank working with people in the US Treasury sending skids of $100 bills to Russia in the affair known as the
Money Plane.
Here is what
CNN Money wrote on September 1st, 1999 12 days before my case began:
The saga that’s brought money laundering issues to the fore this summer allegedly began back in 1994, when Russia’s International Monetary Fund representative, Konstantin Kagalovsky, left the organization to join Menatep Bank in Moscow.
Over the next three years, it’s alleged, Kagalovsky arranged to funnel billions of IMF money meant to help transfer Russia’s communist economy into a capitalist one through a private company called Benex Worldwide Ltd. Eventually, the money went into and back out of Bank of New York (BK) and Republic National Bank, a unit of Republic Bancorp (RBNC), as well as several institutions in Europe, including the Union Bank of Switzerland AG and Deutsche Bank AG and its Bankers Trust Unit.
Now the burning question the US press will
not address is why does Putin want to question a former American Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, who was
a Russian visa in June 2014 and subsequently banned from entering the country for his supposed
“active participation in the destruction of the bilateral relationship and relentless lobbying in favor of a campaign to pressure Russia,” Foreign Ministry officials told
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...ays-banned-from-entering-russia-idUSKBN13708N at the time. Essentially, Putin was after U.S. State Department internal memos from 2009 and 2010 drafted in Moscow about the investigation into the Magnitsky case. The Russian agency’s official spokesman, Alexander Kurennoi, told the news agency
http://www.interfax.ru/russia/621432 that McFaul is one of the Americans suspected of involvement in Browder’s illegal activities alleged by Russia.
Chuck Schumer wants Muller to indict Trump, but he will not allow any investigation into the DNC and Hillary’s involvement in this entire tangled web of intrigue.
