McFaul has no connection to this woman. Putin is not a fan of McFaul

The tweet that McFaul withdrew was he said that he had heard Rep. Dana Rohrabacher had invited her and he asked reporters to ask him about it. Rohrabacher later denied this and McFaul corrected the story and withdrew his tweet.

You're off in the ozone my friend. I would be very wary of any theories floating around in with concern to Browder.

Just doing a search for all of last year, I don't see any articles connecting him to Clinton. I think he politically is much closer to someone like John McCain. Obama and Clinton did not push for the Magnitsky Act. Congress was far out ahead of them. Obama and Clinton knew it would complicate dealings with Russia to say the least. The American Interest Magazine has covered Browder a lot and they are at least Center-Right, I think his politics may be around the same.

Her uranium deal? Nonsense. You're aware of the CFIUS board and how it acts? I wonder if you're aware of how badly written that book and the initial articles on this were. You can research this yourself, but the truth is that deal posed no threat to national security, was approved by CFIUS and Clinton never was involved in it in any way, shape or form. It's also took place AFTER Giustra sold the company. The uranium story told by Schweitzer was completely wrong and funded by Steve Bannon.

It's still a possibility she gave him valuable information about Clinton's collusion with corrupt Russian officials,

This is a virtual impossibility.

A. If Russian officials were working with Clinton, they would no longer be Russian officials. See Oleg Erovinkin

B. Putin personally hates Clinton. Clinton knows this. Any approach by a Russian government official would smell like a set up from miles away. It would be like hearing that the Clinton team was taking documents from Roger Stone because they believed that fake story that Trump fired him.

C. This would occupy most of Trump's twitter feed in 2016 if they had this info.

What's your take on Putin by the way?

I agree, this one is hard to figure out.

So what is she pretending to be today?
Only a deep investigation into her ties with everyone in D.C. will sort this out.

Well he sure is making himself and all his people out to be either big dummies or big liars! Not good .

"The Russian lawyer who penetrated Donald Trump’s inner circle was initially cleared into the United States by the Justice Department under “extraordinary circumstances” before she embarked on a lobbying campaign last year that ensnared the president’s eldest son, members of Congress, journalists and State Department officials, according to court and Justice Department documents and interviews.

This revelation means it was the Obama Justice Department that enabled the newest and most intriguing figure in the Russia-Trump investigation to enter the country without a visa. "

Do you understand the spy terms of a cutout and a dangle?

She was both a cutout and a dangle. She was not there with a basketful of priceless Faberge eggs from the Hermitage. She was there with a little bauble to judge Team Trump's reaction, to see how thirsty they were and to provide some plausible deniability. She doesn't work for the government after all. Putin was not going on a blind date. He wanted to know if Team Trump was going to get into bed with him before he got dressed for the day.

This is the beginning. Later on they bring out the big guns like Kislyak and Gorkov. This is where it starts and it later includes Kushner asking Kislyak if he could use Russian communication tools so Team Trump can speak to him in secret.

" Pretending to be anti-Trump and cultivating relationships with never-Trumpers certainly aids her in that objective. " I thought she was pretending to be pro-Trump. that is how she got a meeting with junior.

"Speaking of Michael McFaul, he tweeted today that he did not invite Natalia and her anti-Magnitsky allies to the Russian hearing at which this picture was taken. "

He deleted that tweet later in the day.

"In a now deleted tweet, McFaul claimed, “Never heard of her until yesterday. Why is she sitting so close to me? Im used to be followed by Russians, but in Russia not U.S. Congress ! (sic)”
