Strange Redfellows: The Weird Collusion Between Fusion GPS and the Russian Government

At the Wall Street Journal, by Tunku Varadarajan.

Varadarajan recounts the William Browder's history with Sergei Magnitsky and the Russian government -- gangster-entrepreneurs connected to the Russian government stole Magnitsky's money, then the government jailed Magnitsky and beat him to death him in prison when he complained of it.

In response, the US passed the Magnitsky Act, which would freeze Russian officials out of the global banking system. Something Putin and the oligarch-gangsters don't like, because they want to hide their money outside of Russia in case they ever are forced to flee from that country.

The Russians hired a law firm to try to undo the 2012 act, and that law firm hired Fusion GPS.


The law--and Mr. Browder--featured most recently in the drama surrounding the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who in June 2016 met with representatives of Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The story also involves Fusion GPS, the Washington-based opposition-research firm contracted by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic Party to investigate Mr. Trump's possible Russia connections.
"Putin hates the Magnitsky Act, as we know," Mr. Browder says, "and looks for different ways to stop it. And one of his projects--well-resourced, with millions of dollars--was Veselnitskaya. She was deputized for this project because she represented the Katsyv family--Putin cronies caught up in laundering some Magnitsky money in the U.S. Some of that money enabled the purchase of apartment buildings in New York by Denis Katsyv, whose father is a government official close to Putin." (In May 2017 Mr. Katsyv's company, Prevezon Holdings, reached a $5.9 million settlement with the U.S. government, thereby avoiding a trial. The company and the Katsyvs denied any wrongdoing.)

In Mr. Browder’s account, Ms. Veselnitskaya came to America on behalf of the Katsyvs when the U.S. Justice Department began a forfeiture order for the properties. Ms. Veselnitskaya then began "a legal campaign to extricate the Katsyvs" from the case "and a political campaign to repeal the Magnitsky Act." She hired John W. Moscow, a lawyer with the firm Baker Hostetler, who "brought Glenn Simpson on as part of their team" in 2014. In his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last August, Mr. Simpson, Fusion GPS's founder and a former Journal reporter, said his firm provided litigation support to Baker Hostetler in the Prevezon case. Mr. Browder says that Mr. Simpson "got very energized in the spring of 2016 and basically started to work on behalf of Veselnitskaya, who has since been shown to be a Russian agent."

Mr. Browder is referring to Ms. Veselnitskaya’s public acknowledgment that she is "an informant" for the Russian prosecutor general's office. "That makes her an agent," Mr. Browder insists. "So Glenn Simpson was working, effectively, also as an agent for the Russian government, as an adjunct to the Russian FSB," the KGB’s successor. "At the same time . . . he's doing this project to create a dossier on Trump."

Mr. Browder tells me he heard from reporters that as the campaign against the Magnitsky Act proceeded, Mr. Simpson was pitching a story that "Magnitsky wasn"t murdered, he died of natural causes," that "Magnitsky wasn't a whistleblower, he was a criminal," and that "Bill Browder telling this story is in contempt of Congress and perjuring himself." (Through a lawyer, Mr. Simpson declined to comment. In November Mr. Simpson testified before the House Intelligence Committee: "I obviously think Sergei Magnitsky was killed in prison by neglect, if not worse.")

He was beaten to death. How could that be "neglect"? Did they neglect to beat him in such a way that the bruises wouldn't show?

It can't be the case that Veselnitskya was a Russian agent connected to the FSB when she met with Don Trump Jr. but was not a Russian agent connected to the FSB when she hired Glenn Simpson to smear Browder and the murder victim Magnitsky's memory.

The media (apart from the WSJ and Fox and a few others) never talks about this aspect of the Fusion GPS operation. It confuses the narrative too much to have the alleged anti-Russian-influence crusader Glenn Simpson simultaneously acting as a Russian agent and influencer.

5 Strange bedfellows? How about just plain strange.

You grow up and live in this country, reaping all of the benefits of a free and open society, and an economic engine the likes of which has never been seen before, and then you run to get help to destroy it to a country that has yet, after millenia, to get any of this correct.

THAT'S strange.

And I don't mean Dr. Strange, either.

47 There are huge wide swaths of this whole Russian business I don't understand.

Not necessarily because it is hard to understand, but because I have purposely kept myself from trying to learn all the details. I don't believe it is possible to know all the details, precisely because there are factions out there, trying to tell their story, and you could probably concoct a narrative that fits your preconceived beliefs, without breaking much of a sweat. And if your loyal followers want to believe your narrative... well, they only have to read your writers, watch your news shows, pay attention to your politicians and lawyers, talking about this stuff from their point of view.

I would like to believe then, that I represent a large part of this nation's voting public. We aren't stupid, we're not disengaged, and we don't not vote. I represent people for whom ALL THIS RUSSIAN NONSENSE is silly stupid partisan hackery, and I believe it does and will have precious little impact on coming elections.

So, I was watching a little Youtube video about the movie Spartacus the other day, and there were clips of protesting American communists (tied to Dalton Trumbo).

Seriously...Russian paid agents trying to influence American politics back when they were literal communists with the stated goal of destroying the United States, and they constantly get treated so nicely. But the second Hillary Clinton cooks up a story about Russians helping Trump, and they're the greatest threat to America ever.

Do these people take any self-reflection. I mean, ever?

Posted by: TheJamesMadison at May 14, 2018 02:04 PM (9kfJR)

93 The ironic thing about this is that on the very first day of the Senate Intel Committee investigation into Russia collusion one of the first to testify was Bill Browder and his experience with Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson and their ties to the highest levels of the Russian government. Simpson was also invited to testify, he declined. This was last July.

I, along with apparently nobody else, watched the testimony and it was pretty clear right from the jump where all of this was headed.

You can probably find Browder's testimony on the CSPAN site along with the testimony of Thor Halvorssen, a human rights activist. If anything his testimony against Fusion GPS is even more chilling.

Fusion's role in all of this has been known pretty much since day 1. The big question is who was running the op, what did Obama know and when did he know it? Given that Obama had the wife of a Fusion operative working on his communications staff while this was happening I'd say he knew it all every step of the way.

Yes, yes it is an important part of the story.
I've seen some on twitter who are using testimony over the past year to put together timelines, such as Jen Rubin reporting about concern over Russia collusion in August 2016 - published before Come supposedly had been informed of possible collusion. There's also Teele using Isakoff to leak his dossier story to then use Isakoff's story as proof in the dossier.

Think this is one of the reasons Fusion wants to keep its financed hidden.

Maybe a requirement for working in DC is that you must have fallen on your head repeatedly as a child, but how could anyone put any credence into the work product of a company that would sell out to the Russians to the point of libeling Magnitsky and Browder?

158 Natalia Veselnitskaya was working for Putin and Fusion GPS which was working for Hillary. Of course the Clintons were conspiring with Russians and anyone else they could collude or conspire with. The only surprising thing is that so many people imagined Trump "colluding" when it was the left. It's always the left.

b) The MSM doesn't think about anything. They just take the Narrative and run with it.
c) The MSM is aware of the truth but is consciously distorting the 'news.'
d) All of the above, in various proportions.

It's not strange or weird - it's obvious they're mercenaries. But I'd agree this should be used to show how silly this "collusion" stuff is. Various groups in different nations have dealings with each other for political reasons. Big fucking deal. Now Google and Facebook are banning ads to do with Ireland's abortion referendum because they claim that these ads may originate outside of Ireland and would hence be foreign influence. They're trying to give the impression that foreign influence of any kind is somehow evil so that they can parlay it into some sort of condemnation of the US administration.

Somewhat OT, but related to NGU's comment re new embassy - saw a comment on the twatters about the US beefing up security at our posts in Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, due to today's festivities in Gaza and the Jerusalem ceremony.


Having been in our embassy in Jordan a bit, hard to see how we'd increase security there apart from putting it underground, or creating a 5-mile standoff security zone around it. F***ing fortress (though with a lamentable lack of turrets and firing ports).

305 Cindy's a tough broad, don't underestimate her. Her father was first an "employee" of, and then partner with AZ's biggest Syndicate operation, and eventually took over the operation. That's the money she inherited.

Cindy had the money, which John lusted for, and the smarts, which John needed badly. John had the respectable family reputation, which Cindy knew that she could never get on her own, and the "war hero" stuff was icing on the cake to her. That's been the basis of their partnership from the start.

She's kind of like a Micheal Corleone who really did manage to go straight and get respectable. And now she wants to be a Senator.

I had always though the dossier was the "insurance policy," but Rush explains his theory. He discusses details I hadn't heard before (but I've been busy and kind of out of the loop).


RUSH: I now know who the spy is. I know now know who the FBI was running in the Trump campaign. I don't think I'm gonna give you the name of the spy, but I'm gonna tell you everything the spy has done. It is the most amazing story. It is a story of entrapment. When you hear this, it's gonna infuriate you. You're gonna realize how utterly phony this entire investigation of Donald Trump is. It's phonier than you even realize now.


We all pretty much know who the spy is by now, but the rest of his story is pretty stunning. This never ends. The dirt. The entrapment. The setup.

All to cover Obama, the Clinton's and what the FBI and the rest of the corrupt did.

The link is transcript from today.

Amazing details. Don't know how Rush got them. Friends in high places.

A Maltese academic who has recently been teaching in the UK and has numerous ties to the Russian government and various western intel agencies.

Supposedly, he is the guy who lured Papadopolous to the UK with promises of Russian dirt on Hillary. Pap then supposedly told another Mifsud contact, Alexander Downer, that he was getting dirt on Hillary from Russians linked to Putin in a London bar.

Downer then supposedly went to the FBI and that was the start of the Trump/Russia investigation.

I say supposedly because it's pretty obvious that the entire thing was a setup. Mifsud, Downer and others have long term relationships and this appears to be part of the larger conspiracy.

They took money from every source and smeared it around in such a way as to negate a US presidential election.



WTF? Who is Fusion GPS? Is it the front group for Russian Spies or not? These guys do not appear to be a run of the mill political opposition research firm. They were in thick of the spycraft world and election flipping, right up to the highest offices of the USA. I think they had ex-spooks, ex-congressional aides and lobbyists working for them right? Are spooks ever EX if some one is still paying them? So who was paying them and why is this not being described as an espionage scandal.

412 Didn't Reason get dragged into court because of something said in a comment? "

People have tried suing various outlets for comments, but as far as I know they have all been thrown out. Even in cases of defamation the suit has to be against the one who made it, not the publisher.

Now, in print and online, where people get in trouble - look at the Rolling Stone lawsuit, which they lost. Not only should Rolling Stone have known the article they published was based on fake information, they were warned by the defamed parties that it was fake ahead of time, and they published it anyways. Now that is how you lose a lawsuit.

She may make it work. It's her third marriage, she's 36, and other than a D list career as an actress, this is the best gig she is gonna get.

Yes, third marriage. Her first marriage was annulled, but foreign sites had the guy's name and pics of him. Britain did too at first, then it got scrubbed.

Harry is a ManChild, she is motherly, the balance may work. Or they both may cheat on each other. Who knows. Both have a cheating records it seems.

It reminds me of a season of the Bachelor. An intense week of isolation, a long distance relationship, a few dates...and wa-la! Marriage.

I can't wish them ill, but Harry got hornswoggled, I think. Yet, he was desperate to settle down like William, so he was ready. Maybe it'll work. At least for a few years.

I was thinking the same thing, but in my fevered imagination, I was thinking about how you would play a media person. You get someone to tell the media guy the thing you want in the news, and then you get another guy, unrelated to the first, to tell the media guy the same rumor, and voila! The media guy has a story, corroborated by two different, unrelated sources and it gets reported.

You need a little more street theater to pull the scam and that is what 'cut-outs' are designed to do. We already know the media will not report a rumor that hurts democrats, but rumor will drive a republican out of public office, and the media guy gets his street cred and more sources.

Posted by: JackStraw at May 14, 2018 02:51 PM (/tuJf)

But my question has always been, "Start proceedings now, and if you keep investigating and fine more, prosecute more."

Sure, people might have time to flee/destroy evidence. But you have people that have already flipped (Stzork, Page, Susan Rice(?), etc) that can already point them out, _AND_ you have the whole NSA/DIA/CIA files at your disposal (from the past administration), and if you need more? Go to FISA court and survey them now (enemies of the people of the USA and all).

423 This seems simple to me.

Simpson and Fusion GPS tried to kill two birds with one stone.

They set up the meeting between the Trump campaign and Veselnitskaya under the alleged guise that she had dirt on Hillary. On the contrary, the entire point was for her to lobby the Trump campaign against the Magnitsky Act.

BUT, since she met with the Trump campaign, Simpson could put the meeting in his Pee-pee dossier. Brilliant!!!

But also, Bullshit!!!

And all this blather and fuss over the marriage of a middle-aged, divorced, cable t.v. actress and a minor prince in a country where the royals no longer have any actual power. It's silly. But that won't stop the MSM from making it even sillier and more annoying for everybody.

431 In 2009, when Mueller ran the FBI, the bureau asked Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska to spend millions of his own dollars funding an FBI-supervised operation to rescue a retired FBI agent, Robert Levinson, captured in Iran while working for the CIA in 2007.

Yes, that's the same Deripaska who has surfaced in Mueller's current investigation and who was recently sanctioned by the Trump administration.

remained anything resembling an authentic, American Presidential
administration to that cadre of evil assholes) is finally becoming
exposed for all its lawless excess and naked power grabbing.



Not if we have anything to say about it.
Obama was, and still is, a fucking HERO.
Just don't complicate things and ask us why.
