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....
