2012 : (RUSSIA HIRES LOBBYISTS AND LAWYERS, INCLUDING BAKER-HOSTETLER [see FUSION GPS] , TO TRY TO GET MAGNITSKY ACT REPEALED) In 2012, the Russian government hired an army of lobbyists and lawyers to pursue repeal of the Magnitsky Act. One of the law firms retained was Baker Hostetler, which has ties to Fusion GPS. Fusion itself was co-founded by former journalist Glenn Simpson.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said Fusion worked on behalf of Russian interests but did not register as a foreign agent as required by federal law. “Fusion GPS was apparently simultaneously working on the unsubstantiated dossier alleging collusion between Trump presidential campaign associates and Russia” while at the same time helping the Russian government with the Magnitsky Act.——The Curious Case of Natalia Veselnitskaya, Frontpagemagazine, July 14, 2017 | Matthew Vadum, Posted on 7/14/2017, 4:35:57 AM by SJackson
Someone needs to ask Hilliary if she would have repealed the Magnitsky Act.
