Tom,

When did William Felix Browder become an American diplomat? As far as I know, he was born American but renounced his citizenship and was instrumental in he passage of the Magnitsky Act which wiped out many of Russia's small and medium-sized businesses. There is a move by the UN to pass this act in all UN states. Basically it allows the bank account and properties of Russians to be seized if there is evidence that they or their company was/is involved in human rights violations.

President Putin has not asked for anyone to extradited to Russia for interrogation. And he did not say he would force the "dirty 12" Mueller has indicted to be extradited to the US. But a quid pro qo, allowing questioning of the "dirty 12" in Russia in exchange for questioning Browder in his property in the US ..... or in his other property in the UK which would require the UK to agree. Browder has many properties around the world, it could take years for him to return to his property in the US. I can understand Russia's need to find out how $1.5 billion (in US currency) disappeared into Browder's accounts and how he got his hands on that money.

If we truly want to get to the bottom of our e******n i**********e and prosecute those responsible, we are going to need other countries to cooperate. This is not something that can be done in a vacuum. BTW, we have agreements with most other nations which allow this type of cooperation. If say the UK has a person of interest in the US, they can send their envoy to the US to question that individual. Same with Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan........... it seems the only nation we do not have such an agreement with is Russia, although we did sign an agreement in 1999 to allow such cooperation. We have not allowed such questioning and in return, Russia has not allowed it.

… but that doesn't mean anyone else has to take it seriously (and that includes mine but here it is anyway).

I have never seen such an aggregation of intellectual lepers in my life as is today to be found on the Left of the political spectrum. The vast majority of you on that side of the aisle have no idea what you are posting about here or representing in Washington, D.C. You have no background in history or the political policies you support or oppose. You are hypocrites of the first order; screaming denunciations of President Trump while utterly ignorant of the very same, or worse, having occurred on your own side.

You call Trump a t*****r for meeting with Putin and you applaud Hillary for her Russian reset.

You accuse Trump of collusion with Russia and you ignore the fact that the infamous "Trump dossier", paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC, was compiled by a foreigner using Russian sources.

You claim Trump's performance in Helsinki was the greatest embarrassment the US has ever been put to while ignoring the Obama apology tour with its several photos of then President of the United states, Barack Obama, executing the serf's obeisance before the Saudi Royalty and the Emperor of Japan.

Your press touts the many ways Trump might offend the Queen of England but said nothing about the Obama state gift to the queen of a bunch of music CDs and a few of his recorded speeches.

Frankly what I see happening in this once great and noble country makes me sick to the core of my spirit. I see no way to reconcile with the Left and worse, I no longer see any point in it.

You people send your cowardly masked black shirt f*****t to businesses, people's homes and harrass anyone on the street who do not follow your oppressive beliefs. I consider people like you a direct threat to humanity. There will be blood in the streets soon enough as the cold war between right and left goes hot. Understand this, Americans (Normals) are not going to sit by and allow the Socialist Democrat Party (A******ls) to unseat a legally elected President. We had to stomach our way through 8 bulls**t years of Obama. You either deal with this or take your chances with s******n and your public execution.

I did not even v**e for Trump but I did not v**e for your corrupt treasonous pig either. I wrote in!
I like the decisions Trump is making politically and economically though. SCOTUS will be under control of Constitutionalist in lieu if socialist t*****rs that sit there currently. Ginsburg is a piece of human trash!
