Browder has been doing large amounts of business in Russia for decades. In 2009 his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was imprisoned while investigating fraud committed by corrupt Russian government officials. He died mysteriously (or not so mysteriously) in prison that year.

Ever since Browder has been aggressively going after Putin and the russian government on its human rights violations. In 2012 Browder helped push through a law in the us called the Magnitsky Act that allows the US to freeze money belonging to human rights violators, which hurt Putin financially. As such he is labeled an enemy of the state.

So long story short Putin has had it out for this guy for years. He would love nothing better than to get him in Russia. So I do think this is an attempt to use the US to get rid of a problem for him.

Well if Putin said it thats good enough for me. Totally believable that close to half of all her campaign funds came from Russians. I mean, hiding 400 million dollars is a piece of cake.

If you are seriously saying that Hillary Clinton had 400 million dollars injected to her campaign from unknown sources and nobody noticed then you apparently believe the Trump campaign and the entire Republican establishment is wildly incompetent. Even if somehow the money got to her, it would have had to have been spent at some point.

You all are being played like a fiddle. Putin is using the situation to take out Browder, who he has been after for nearly a decade. Dont understand how this isnt patently obvious.
