$400 million to Hillary? Prove it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/07/16/standing-beside-trump-putin-makes-a-clear-reference-to-the-subject-of-the-2016-trump-tower-meeting/?utm_term=.e67191dbed34

Putin:
“Business associates of Mr. Browder have earned over $1.5 billion in Russia. They’ve never paid any taxes, neither in Russia or the United States,” Putin said. “And yet the money escaped the country. They were transferred to the United States. They sent a huge amount of money — $400 million — as a contribution to the campaign of Hillary Clinton. Well, that’s a personal case. It might have been legal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal.”

Those transactions, he said, were “accompanied and guided” by intelligence officials. Those officials could be interviewed in the presence of Russians — just as he would graciously allow Mueller’s team to be present for the questioning of his own officers.

It’s not clear whether this obviously false assertion by Putin was the “interesting idea” of his to which Trump had earlier referred. (Why obviously false? Well, for one thing, there was no $400 million donation to Clinton’s campaign — or even to the Clinton Foundation — from anyone or any entity connected to Browder.)



I hope Browder stays safe. London isn't a very friendly city for foes of Russia.

MAGA conspiracy theorists are more full of shit than a raw sewage treatment plant. If they actually had evidence they'd use it by now. For the most part they're just fucking with us. They're playing a game of Russian roulette and they're not using any ammo.
