Putin wants Bill Browder, he suggested, in exchange for Mueller making a formal

request to witness the interrogation of the 12 Russian intelligence officers. Mueller has not made such a request.

When asked about the Mueller investigation, Putin said in exchange for Mueller being allowed to witness the interrogation of the 12, Russia might, for example, get Bill Browder for tax evasion/fraud in Russia. Saying also that Browder gave Clinton money for election.

Browder lobbied for Congress to pass the "Magnitsky Act".

Why Exactly Does Putin Hate the Magnitsky Act?

On a recent episode of Trumpcast, Bill Browder joined Jacob Weisberg to discuss the Magnitsky Act—the supposed reason why Donald Trump Jr. met with a group of Russians during the campaign.

Browder, author of Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man’s Fight for Justice, hired Sergei Magnitsky to investigate why the Russian police had raided and seized his company’s offices in June 2007. Magnitsky found that Browder’s company had been seized to steal $230 million in taxes it had paid to the Russian government.

Magnitsky was arrested, tortured, and killed in 2009, and Browder later pushed Congress to pass the Magnitsky Act, which sanctions people connected with Magnitsky’s murder. This conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity.

But in this case, there is a -- there's another condition. This kind of effort should be a mutual one. Then we would expect that the Americans would reciprocate, and that they would question officials, including the officers of law enforcement and intelligence service of the United States, whom we believe are -- who have something to do with illegal actions on the territory of Russia, and we have to -- to request the presence of our law enforcement.

For instance, we can bring up the Mr. Browder in this particular case. Business associates of Mr. Browder have earned over $1.5 billion in Russia. They never paid any taxes, neither in Russia nor in the United States, and yet the money escaped the country. They were transferred to the United States. They sent huge amount of money, $400 million as a contribution to the campaign of Hillary Clinton. Well, that's the personal case. It might have been legal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal.

and Putin made sure to get it in again today.

That, and he attacked George Soros and Clinton. (with the money thing)
