Russia probe: Democrats block key witness against shadowy firm Fusion GPS
Fox News ^ | July 26, 2017 | Brooke Singman

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.

Ha! Apparently the dems think it’s really bad to work with the Russians unless they or their allies do it.

Well the GOP"Leaderhip" certainly doesn't mind and also doesn't seem to care about getting Trump's nominees confirmed either. They'll hand Congress back to (D) if they don't shape up.

It''s tempting.
But we'd lose the few really good ones like Cruz and Lee if we did that.

I agree.
But it was worse than that.

Read these three articles on one of my earlier post:
Now go back and read The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals.

Are you getting the depth of this Fabian Society takeover?
It's deep, it's ugly, and most people WILL NOT ... CAN NOT ... accept the truth.

You've got to watch this 9 minute 38 second video. The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF, HUSSEIN OF AMERICA, is doing this exact plan to US right now.
Obama is EVIL, pure and simple.


Please watch Glenn Beck with Trevor Loudon & his book "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within".
Then watch the 29 minute 13 seconds video Trevor Loudon- An Urgent (and chilling) Message for America.



Barack Obama and the Enemies Within


Obama may be feigning "incompetence," thinking he's too sly, being a "wolf in sheep's clothing" since his mentoring was from Fabian Fascism..

The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF is a BIBLICAL CURSE AGAINST OUR NATION !


The forgeries I'm aware of, are the three Birth Cretificate Barack Hussein Obama II has forged.
I don't trust evidence put forth by Obama supporters.
The disappearance of too much evidence on Obama is strong enough for me to know that he was born in Kenya.

Read INS DOC FOUND: U.S. CERTIFICATE ISSUED TO ONE EAST AFRICAN-BORN CHILD OF U.S. CITIZEN IN 1961!




In summary as stated by WhiskeyX

Ponder that!

And don't forget about Hillary's trip to Great Britain to make sure Obama's Birth Registration in Great Britain disappeared.
