Oh indeed. We'll not retreat. What has been revealed lately is too much (as if it wasn't already). We'll go forward. For Sergei.

(19,962 posts)Said that he has been trying as many countries as possible to bring in their own Magnitsky law. A number have. In Ireland they debated bringing it in, but it fell when Russia threatened to halt .... Get this... Russian-Irish ADOPTIONS ! Ireland has a big connection with Russia for adoptions, and I suspect they were afraid Chernobyl adoptions might cease as well. Adi Roche and Ali Hewson (Bono's wife) are central to the Chernobyl children's project.
With Brexit, Ireland is definitely going to be targeted by Russian money.

(13,524 posts)Seems that Mr. Browder has been relentlessly pursing this putin and his mobsters for oh so many years - he's just a dynamo, and, thank God, has a way of expressing himself and telling his story that is leaving us "newbies" spellbound and in awe of him - he has changed my life -
Thanks, side!

(19,962 posts)I have a recollection this was the reason even though Belorus is now a separate country.
Also Browder said he can only go to certain countries because Putin has an arrest warrant out for him ! You can't make this stuff up !!!

(13,524 posts)glib - that he's still alive to tell it. He knows the danger he's in, has had numerous death threats and who knows how much harassment and misery in general...but on he marches! I hope he can feel America waking up to his nightmare, as our support and admiration of him blossom!

(888 posts)Call and get that Navy seal who likes to wear dresses and makeup, put them on TV for 2 hours, don't forget to act, outrageous. Talk about how the general's know nothing about it, explain every bit about the general's not getting a memo, did I say act outraged,
remember: don't mention that it is just designed to bury the real Russian news about Vladimir's motives.
You can't resist, you can comply, listen to your master. Do what you're told, obey

(9,974 posts)NOT Mooch what's his face....
The MSM is quick to cover and report 24/7 when it's Jr, Kushner, etc... before the committee.
Yet it comes to this brave man who uncovered and reported the names and activity of the Russians and who they were connected with in DC in July 2016 with his written complaint....he gets a meh from the MSM.
And, hell, don't feel bad... I've been spamming the boards with this link since mid July when I found it...scroll down to page 7 or 8 and it has his FULL written complaint to the Feds. Of note is how many times the names of the Jr meeting Russian attendees are in his complaint. He tracked their every move in D.C. and reported who in DC they met with. Shit load of Repub names in it, too.
Forget the Mooch drama queen, MSM...go thru the FULL July 2016 Browder complaint, point out how many times the attendees' names are in it and really go over all the D.C. pols and aides who were in their circle when they went to D.C. after the Jr meeting!

(9,974 posts)It's extremely long.
You see the part how the Russian lawyer's translator in the meeting and in the court was also employed by the US STATE DEPT? How the hell can a State Dept contract worker also be employed by a Russian agent??? Apparently he quit the State Dept in September but still...he also was part of her non profit agency. Just one more frigging RED FLAG on how entwined the Russian agent agenda is in the fed departments.
