Jamison Firestone: "Counterpropaganda landing"

“Last week, a limited contingent of Russian senators, consisting of four combat units led by Vitaly Malkin, landed in Washington. The detachment arrived with an impossible mission - to disarm American congressmen who intend to vote for the Magnitsky Act. He must do this with the help of the Kremlin’s secret weapon - some “preliminary report” allegedly prepared as part of a “new and independent parliamentary investigation” conducted by the Federation Council... Nothing that I myself have done or said so far can be as convincing for the American Congressmen and the US Government as this a strange mission that presented in Washington with pomp a report drawn up as a result of a non-existent investigation by a non-existent parliamentary commission."
