The closer the investigation gets to tying Trump's band of crooks to Putin the wilder the distractions must become. First we get the absurd tweet about transgender policy for the military And THEN comes the likes of a foul mouthed caricature of a person like Scaramucci. Now we know why.
Bill Browder wrote a book about his experiences doing business in Putin's Russia called Red Notice. Magnitsky worked for Browder and uncovered a huge financial crime resulting in Magnitsky's death while in custody in Russia and the passage of the Magnitsky Act in this country, which threw a major wrench in Putin's schemes. This article explains why the WH was throwing out so much chaff last week.
The new White House Communications Director was so busy causing a scene he even reportedly missed the birth of his baby son on Monday, congratulating his recently-estranged wife by text message.
Whilst barely any type of behaviour from the Trump administration surprises anymore, it’s worth asking if The Mooch’s outbursts were spontaneous or designed to distract from something else.
On Wednesday 26th July, financier Bill Browder was due to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
In pre-prepared remarks published by The Atlantic, he said: “I hope that my story will help you understand the methods of Russian operatives in Washington and how they use US enablers to achieve major foreign policy goals without disclosing those interests.”
On the same day Browder was due to testify, President Trump announced, seemingly out of nowhere, that transgender people will not be allowed to serve in “any capacity” in the US military.
Browder’s testimony was then postponed to the next day - the same day The Mooch made headlines when his expletive-ridden tirade was published.
Browder’s testimony, which received relatively little coverage, is extraordinary with a senator calling it one of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s “most important” hearings.
In it he describes a Russian system of government that operates in the shadows using corruption, blackmail, torture and murder - all led by Vladimir Putin.
Browder said: “Effectively the moment that you enter into their world, you become theirs.”
