Don't Believe NY Times story about Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya Let's start with the US v. Prevezon case which is what Kramer and LaFraniere were referring to when they wrote "worked hand in glove with Russia's chief legal office to thwart a Justice Department civil fraud case..." First, this case was initiated by serial con artist Bill Browder. He contacted the federal prosecutor's office in New York and told them that he had evidence showing Prevezon stole and laundered some of the missing money stemming from the Hermitage Capital/Magnitsky case. Not only that, the evidence that former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara used to file the case against Prevezon came entirely from Browder. Browder choked during his Prevezon deposition because it's kinda hard to keep up with your own lies and he probably blames Veselnitskaya for making him look like a chump. Don't believe me? Lee Stranahan was awesome enough to post Browder's deposition on Youtube. In fact, Stranahan is one of the few independent journalists I know who has a large base and is covering the Bill Browder story.

2/ @LucyKomisar, who has diligently researched Browder frauds (and others) have shown that Magnitsky was accountant for Browder firms, convicted for his role in Browder tax frauds in Russia. He was NOT heroic "lawyer" exposing fraud. (_link) — Stephen McIntyre (@ClimateAudit) January 8, 2019

Western media claims Bill #Browder's tax evasion conviction in #Russia was "politically motivated" when in fact, Browder renounced his American citizenship to become British specifically to evade taxes! This is the criminal who helped push through the US #Magnitsky Act. pic.twitter.com/PVcGS1vUgN— Tony Cartalucci (@TonyCartalucci) January 12, 2019
