Oleg V. Deripaska, a Russian oligarch once close to President Trump’s former campaign manager, has offered to cooperate with congressional committees investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election, but lawmakers are unwilling to accept his conditions, according to congressional officials.

This potential witness is one of the Russians himself!!

A Russian oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin, and in Putin's inner circle, wants to testify at the Russiagate hearings that are being held in Congress, but there is a hitch here. He wants full immunity from prosecution. Right now Congress is saying no, due to not wanting to compromise the criminal investigation that is being done by the FBI. But, when the time comes, he may end up providing the evidence that sends Manifort to prison.

This has to piss off Putin to no end. This Russian dies mysteriously in 3.... 2.... 1....

Exactly. Either Putin wants the guy to plant some wild rumors that can't be substantiated or his body is already room temperature.

I guess these people aren't serious about finding out about Russian interference.
 
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire. We don't need no water let the mother****er burn. Burn mother****er, burn.

Reading is fundamental. Read the article and you will find out that Congress does not want to compromise the criminal investigation.

Claims Congress doesn't want to compromise criminal investigations...has no problem with James Comey receiving coaching from Mueller before testifying under oath.
