. . .Thor Halvorssen, head of the New York-based Human Rights Foundation, told the Senate Judiciary Committee in written testimony that Washington-based political intelligence firm Fusion GPS operated a campaign against journalists who threatened to expose a multibillion-dollar fraud involving faulty South American electric power plants, the laundering of its proceeds in U.S. banks and a kickback scheme to pay off Venezuelan officials. . .
Wednesdays hearing, initially scheduled to also feature testimony from Donald Trump Jr. and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort before they agreed to private interviews, was cut short when Democrats invoked a rule to stop committees from meeting more than two hours once the Senate goes into session.
The delay occurred just before committee members took testimony from British-American businessman and anti-Kremlin crusader Bill Browder, who has called Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson a professional smear campaigner.. . .
Since March, the Senate Judiciary Committee has pressed for Mr. Simpsons testimony and documents relevant to the case. Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, and ranking member Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, revealed late Tuesday that they had withdrawn a subpoena after Mr. Simpson agreed to a private interview.
Wednesdays hearing focused on the Foreign Agents Registration Act and featured experts issuing dire warnings that America has been overrun by spies and lobbyists working for foreign interests without declaring their associations. . .Mr. Grassley said the panel would reconvene Thursday morning to hear from Mr. Browder.

“over run by spies...” well let’s just think about this a moment, who has been minding the store for the last eight years or so?
QUESTION- Do any of the Republicans read and study the RULES?
Why is it that Demoncrats have the operation of the Senate tied in knots by invoking one RULE after another?
What a waste of good oxygen.
Well ? Who ELSE did you expect the democrats to get in bed with ??
“Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap...”
Music comes to mind.
Government via ‘sewer’...
Everyone forgot about protocols, formalities, rules and ‘character’.
Hell I remember when even an enemy worth the name had ‘character’
Not any more....Now, it’s all about the race to generate, spew and consume sewer bilge.
THIS is what you have when the MSM forgets it charter, when they go to sleep at the switch, when they value their association with leadership instead of ethics. When unbiased professionals staked their reputations on what came out of their mouths... facts held their proper place and character was king!
Fusion GPS may be the back door into taking down the Clinton Criminal Syndicate under the RICO statutes, confiscating all their assets, and spreading out to finally get a handle on the runaway international operations of the George Soros conglomerated and all its fake “charities”.
There are very distinct money trails to be followed, but there is also great and abiding reluctance to go down that road.
People die. Others are subject to threats and some form of blackmail.
The Roman Empire did not have so many plats and subplots.
