I'm not sure the tale that Robert Mueller is destined to tell will sway the hard core Trump supporters. But I do
think that some of them can be emotionally moved by the story of Sergei Magnitsky's immense courage and
subsequent torture and murder at the hands of Putin. Additionally, the 8 year long effort by Bill Browder to
honor Mr. Magnitsky by insuring that powerful sanctions were enacted to punish Putin and his oligarch
minions, is a story that all decent people can be inspired by. Once people have been emotionally moved by these all-too-rare examples of human courage and decency,
they can better understand the motivation that Putin had to support the Trump candidacy. Trump clearly
didn't want to impose new sanctions against Putin for the Russian meddling, and he doesn't give a damn
about the sanctions undertaken due to the Magnitsky Act. Some Americans will get lost in the weedy details of the Mueller report but a good old-fashioned story of truly
courageous little guys against a sinister despot who has immense wealth and all the resources afforded a
rich, nation state, well...even folks disinclined to read can grasp what went on, and what continues to occur.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2K-ddbN9BQPeter T.Even Marc and his brethren can appreciate and be inspired by the heroics on display here. Outrage is the only
reasonable response to this!
