This is a grand global outing of Russian organized crime.

"More than £6?million from funds at the centre of a giant fraud which was being investigated by Sergei Magnitsky has allegedly been traced to a UK bank account held by Renaissance Capital, which has offices in London.

Magnitsky, who was investigating on behalf of the British victims of the fraud, was found dead in a Russian prison, in what the UK government labelled an “atrocious murder”."

I want to know where the Mercer's fit into this, & they must since they bankrolled so much of the "selection".

Geezus. This makes "bringing down Watergate" seem so simple

Pretty sure Russian money is behind both sets of investments...
For sure Renaissance-- has $$ in Mikhail Fridman's (alfa bank) tel-com company VEON/ Vimpelcom.

No wonder the closed door Senate intel committee members all looked stunned, speechless & ashen faced as they left the room.

Imagine what intel has..we know so little & have been at the mercy of piecing bits together. I believe the independents have done a pretty good job considering how massive this is.

Those in the trenches of global Intel must be some very brave souls to wade neck deep in this dark cutthroat business.
God speed all

.the findings that left the public grasping for understanding of the level of fraud, seem like something these guys could have put together after a few drinks.

They make crime look so easy.

These are the people we are up against. Slicksters with bright minds who reside so far away from our world that hacking an election to their desired outcome, could have been pulled off on a dare.

Power , money & ultimate loyalty
Wow.
