A couple of weeks ago I told you the first U.S. Civil War was here.<\/p>\n

What I didn\u2019t tell you was the face of that Civil War\u00a0is Bill Browder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Browder was responsible for\u00a0The Magnitsky Act.<\/em>\u00a0It handed our government insane sanctions powers on individuals and companies in the name of punishing rogue, evil regimes who torture innocents.<\/p>\n

His story is the thing of spy novels.\u00a0 It reeks of power politics, market collusion and psychopathology.<\/p>\n

And if only half of it is true, he and his associates deserve a fate worse than anything dreamed up by Dante and his Inferno.<\/p>\n

Putin tried him\u00a0in absentia\u00a0<\/em>for $230 million in tax evasion. Browder talks about Putin\u2019s global reach, but\u00a0men like him\u00a0are the real power brokers: shaping policy, moving markets and destroying lives the world over.<\/p>\n

Their current target is President Trump.

Let\u2019s connect some dots:<\/strong><\/p>\n

First,\u00a0Facebook, to salvage its stock price,<\/em>\u00a0finds new \u201cPROOF\u201d of Russian election meddling, from the same troll farm Robert Mueller indicted in February.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Second, two days later, Lindsay Graham has a shiny new sanctions bill to get \u2018tough on Putin to stop meddling.\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Graham<\/a>\u2018s\u00a0bill will:<\/p>\n

1) Cut Russia off from selling sovereign debt,
2) Stop them from funding any energy project the world over
3)\u00a0Force a two-thirds majority vote before the Trump can pull the U.S. out of NATO.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All to stop election meddling?????<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That last part is \u201ccurious.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump hasn\u2019t talked about leaving NATO. So, why is Lindsay got his panties in a bunch over this?<\/p>\n
