House panel releases transcript of interview with Fusion GPS co-founder

A House panel on Thursday released the transcript of congressional investigators' November interview with Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, whose firm was behind a dossier that alleged a secret Kremlin effort to influence President Donald Trump.



.....................In a statement, Adam Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee's top Democrat, complained that Republicans have not followed up on allegations Simpson made about alleged money laundering.


.........................Simpson's testimony "reveal[s] serious allegations that the Trump Organization may have engaged in money laundering with Russian nationals, the same subject which Mr. Bannon described in his interview with the author of Fire and Fury," Schiff said.

“Thus far, Committee Republicans have refused to look into this key area and we hope the release of this transcript will reinforce the importance of these critical questions to our investigation,” Schiff added.


Potential money laundering is believed to be one focal point for special counsel Robert Mueller, who is pursuing a separate investigation into Russian 2016 election interference.

and read the earlier excerpts and the first 67 pages. I said, "WOW, holy shit!". Then I made the error of watching CNN and listened to a guy I usually find legitimate in his analysis. He is an ex-CIA intel guy Phil Mudd and he said that there is no hard proof so it is rubbish. Thanks for raining on my parade pal! I will watch Rachel tonight to see what she has to say.

RICO has been the #1 focus since day 1.

But they had a lot of intel dating back years on Trump's money laundering. AG Schneiderman NY has yrs of it.
RICO & FARA will be what brings them all down
