Fusion GPS was hired by a Democratic ally of Hillary Clinton to smear Trump during the campaign. Fusion, with ties to the Kremlin, produced the "Steele Dossier," a 35 page document that was designed to take Donald Trump out of the election via a number supposed scandals. The document was given to John McCain in January of 2017, who read the paper and immediately took it to the FBI . . . . the document was subsequently debunked by the FBI. An insider in this matter, Bill Browder, was to testify Wednesday in regards to this latest bit of collusion between Hillary and the Russians. His testimony was postponed until today, Thursday the 27th.
Fox News: Senate Democrats used a parliamentary maneuver Wednesday
to cut short a high-profile hearing, where a key witness was set to
testify on Russia’s misdeeds and also raise fresh allegations against
the company behind the infamous anti-Trump dossier.
Bill Browder, the CEO and co-founder of Hermitage Capital, was set to
tell the Senate Judiciary Committee that the co-founder of the firm
Fusion GPS was hired to conduct a “smear campaign” against him. Further,
he planned to testify the campaign was orchestrated by Natalia
Veselnitskaya — the Russian attorney who sought the highly scrutinized
Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and
then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort in June 2016.
Browder released written testimony ahead of the hearing but his
public remarks were delayed when Democrats invoked the “two-hour rule”
to protest Republican efforts to repeal ObamaCare. The seldom-used rule
bars committees from meeting more than two hours after the full Senate
begins a session.
