infamous Don Jr meeting

Lost in all the controversy over President Vladimir Putin asking Donald Trump to turn over former U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul to Kremlin investigators for questioning in return for access to Russian officials indicted by the Justice Department for meddling in the 2016 election was the fact that Putin had a whole list of Americans he wanted to be turned over.
According to Michael Weiss, writing for the Daily Beast, far down Putins shopping list are three Department of Homeland Security agents whom he has accused of running off with over $400 million in Russian money when in fact they were investigating associates of Putin laundering that money.
The agents identified as Todd Hyman, Aleksandr Schwartzman, and Svetlana Angert were included by Putin, who reportedly explained to Trump that some of that stolen money was funneled to the 2016 presidential campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
It might have been legal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal, Putin offered at the Helsinki meeting.
As Weiss writes, Hyman, Schwartzman, and Angert were not laundering money, as Putin and his prosecutor would suggest; they were investigating money launderers.
