Browder's testimony to Congress re: Russians who were in Jr's/Kushner's meeting
Wow...even more reason for drumf and his crew to become more unhinged lately.
Of note...the law firm mentioned in his testimony today, Baker Hostetler. The Russian lawyer was instructing one of their people to lobby Congress. The firm also surfaces in articles about foreign agents not having to file anything under FARA because they were "employed" by the law firm. If they were not registered under FARA, then anyone dealing with them (i.e. Congress, Trump clan, etc..) wouldn't have to say they were in contact with foriegn agents. There was a post I did on Sunday about them and FARA and now it seems the Russia lawyer was also, thru the firm, sending people to do some Congressional lobbying.

Through HRAGI, Rinat Akhmetshin, a former Soviet intelligence officer naturalised as an American citizen, was hired to lead the Magnitsky repeal effort. Mr. Akhmetshin has been involved in a number of similar campaigns where he’s been accused of various unethical and potentially illegal actions like computer hacking.
Veselnitskaya also instructed U.S. law firm Baker Hostetler and their Washington, D.C.-based partner Marc Cymrot to lobby members of Congress to support an amendment taking Sergei Magnitsky’s name off the Global Magnitsky Act. Mr. Cymrot was in contact with Paul Behrends, a congressional staffer on the House Foreign Affairs Committee at the time, as part of the anti-Magnitsky lobbying campaign.
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.
