So there’s a few people on the Democrats’ list who should be investigated, but not for the reasons Democrats say. Yet Simpson isn’t on the Democrats’ list. Fusion GPS head Glenn Simpson also met with the Russians both before and after that Trump Tower meeting. Fusion GPS even provided the documents that were handed out at that Trump Tower meeting. Bump says Akhmetshin “joined his colleague Natalia Veselnitskaya, a lawyer linked to the Kremlin, at the June 9, 2016, meeting in Trump Tower predicated on providing information that would undermine Hillary Clinton’s campaign.” But, Bump says, “the focus of the meeting instead reportedly focused on the Magnitsky Act-a law that resulted in sanctions on numerous prominent Russians.”īump somehow forgets to tell us that Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm hired by Hillary Clinton to create nefarious ties between Trump and Russia, was working with Akhmetshin and Veselnitskaya to lobby for the Russian government. It isn’t worth it to go through Bump’s whole article, but even the commentary about the first name on the list-Rinat Akhmetshin-omits glaring and important facts. Investigated, But Not for the Reasons Dems Give To cover these events, the Post’s Philip Bump wrote an article titled: “ The 81 people and organizations just looped into the Trump probe-and why they were included.” Of course, the article is totally unquestioning of the House Democrats’ desired narrative and motivations. This is part of Democrats’ effort to continue their hunt for proof of Russia collusion-although they are already sure that Trump is guilty-as Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation appears to be winding down.
