OK, Putin knocked off Magnitsky

Yada Yada:

I will summarize and you all readers can skip ahead and be bored.
Putin and the Yuri guys are tax cheats, murderers and oligarchs.  They killed some lawyer who was about to expose the whole fraud.    Obama don't like murdering oligarchs so he slapped Putin and the Ruskies with sanctions, making it harder to steal.

What does this have to do with Trump? Nothing, really, it is all Ruskie crapola.

What we know about Yuri Chaika — the Kremlin's 'master of kompromat' who's behind the notorious Trump Tower meeting.
   Russia's chief prosecutor Yuri Chaika played a prominent role in lobbying against the Magnitsky Act during the 2016 election.Chaika's relationship with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who met with top members of the Trump campaign last June, has raised questions about whether she was an agent of the Kremlin. Chaika's foray into American politics appears to have begun in earnest last April, when Rep. Dana Rohrabacher visited Moscow and obtained a memo from Chaika's office criticizing the Magnitsky Act. Russia's top prosecutor and "master of kompromat" has been working since at least last year to overturn legislation passed by President Barack Obama in 2012 that levied punishing sanctions and travel restrictions on high-level Kremlin officials suspected of human rights abuses and corruption. 
 Yuri Chaika, who served as Russia’s justice minister during Putin’s first term and was appointed prosecutor general in 2006, is far from a household name in the United States.
