So the story goes in Andrei Nekrasov’s new documentary, “The Magnitsky Act” — a film that’s been pulled thrice by European theaters and broadcasters who bent to legal pressure from the man it seeks to expose as a fraud.</font></div><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><b>Next Monday, the Russian-born Nekrasov will finally get his chance to premiere it at the Newseum, a journalism history museum in Washington.</b> Nekrasov is showing it to a private audience whose invitees include </span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">congressional staffers, State Department employees, members of the White House National Security Council, and journalists.<b> Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh will moderate the screening.</b></span></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The film centers on Sergei Magnitsky, who human rights activists believe was murdered in 2009 after accusing the Russian police of stealing an estimated $230 million from the state treasury.</font></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">But according to Nekrasov, that narrative is wrong. By his telling, Russian authorities were the victims of a massive theft, not the perpetrators. The film, he told <span class="fp-red" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Foreign Policy</span> in a telephone interview, provides strong circumstantial evidence that Magnitsky’s boss, Bill Browder, was possibly involved in the multimillion dollar theft from Russian taxpayers.</font></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Sonya Gavankar, the Newseum’s manager of public relations, told <span class="fp-red" style="box-sizing: inherit;">FP</span> in an email that the museum would screen the film despite a letter from Browder’s lawyers demanding that it be cancelled.</font></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Browder was one of the first Westerners to cash in on the fall of communism in Russia, starting Hermitage Capital Management in 1996</b> with just $25 million in seed capital.

He said funding for the film came exclusively from mainstream western European organizations.</font></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Nekrasov’s film documents how he went from trusting Browder’s word to disbelieving it. The director says he began to doubt the hedge fund manager after reading the actual police reports in Russian. For example, Nekrasov argues that Magnitsky’s first contact with the police was not a voluntary act of whistleblowing, as Browder maintains, but a record of the police questioning him as a key witness in a tax evasion investigation.</font></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Among Russian activists, Nekrasov said, Magnitsky is seen as a hero and Browder as truthsayer. Any revelation that sullies them could be a bitter pill to swallow.</font></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“The worst criticism comes from my Russian friends,” he said. “Most of my friends are completely pro-Browder, and Putin doesn’t have any influence over them. I became like a traitor.”</font></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Browder has thwarted Nekrasov’s previous attempts to show the film with threats of legal action.

Browder’s</span> <span style="box-sizing: inherit;">lawyers also</span> <span style="box-sizing: inherit;">have sent letters threatening to sue the producers and venues that have tried to screen the film, according to Nekrasov.</span></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>In a phone call with <span class="fp-red" style="box-sizing: inherit;">FP</span>, Browder said he would pursue legal action against the Newseum if he perceived it as backing the movie “in any way.”</b></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“They’re on record now for knowing the libel,” he said, referring to a list of supporting evidence he gave to the Newseum.</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“We’ve explained to them that this movie is a fraud and that it contains false information, so if they continue to support it then they’re disseminating this false narrative,” Browder said. “They have a choice. They can stop it.”</font></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Magnitsky’s widow and mother have asked the Newseum to shut down the program.

The Potomac Square Group, a public relations firm in Washington, is also representing Nekrasov.</font></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“This has nothing to do with free speech.

Tulsi hired him in 2017 to try to discredit a reporter in Hawaii who was writing about her.
<a href="http://www.hawaiifreepress.com/ArticlesMain/tabid/56/ID/20879/Tulsi-Gabbard-Hires-Russian-Agent-to-Keep-Hawaii-Media-in-Check.aspx" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">http://www.hawaiifreepress.com/ArticlesMain/tabid/56/ID/20879/Tulsi-Gabbard-Hires-Russian-Agent-to-Keep-Hawaii-Media-in-Check.aspx</a>
<b>But Gabbard’s consultant, Chris Cooper of the Potomac Square Group, is no ordinary Russian agent. </b><b>Cooper is allegedly one of seven identified as being at the center of illegal Russian lobbying efforts reaching into the Trump campaign and Congress.</b>
Inquiries with Gabbard’s DC office last June by reporter Christine Gralow—then stringing an article for Honolulu Magazine--must have piqued the attentions of the numerous Hare Krishna cultists employed there. <b>Within 24 hours a letter from Cooper, identifying himself as “a consultant to Rep. Tulsi Gabbard,” </b>riddled with misspellings and inaccuracies, landed in the in-box of Honolulu Magazine’s editors.
It worked. Honolulu Magazine suddenly lost interest in Gralow’s articles – which she eventually published on her own website, www.MeanwhileinHawaii.org. And confirming its obsequience, on November 20, Honolulu Magazine characterized a Gabbard cult expose in the New Yorker as “another project in otherizing Gabbard’s faith journey.”
Gralow says she became aware of the Cooper letter in November when a source sent her a copy. She posted the letter on her website December 31, 2017. Cooper—who has not previously been publicly known to be tied to Gabbard—<b>is one of seven people named by Hermitage Capital Management CEO William Browder</b> in a July 15, 2016 memo to the US Department of Justice identifying <b>unregistered agents working illegally in the US “under the direction/control/influence of the Russian Government.</b>” The seven are seeking repeal of the now-famous 2012 Magnitsky Act signed into law by President Obama in response to the imprisonment and 2009 murder of Hermitage’s anti-corruption investigator, Sergei Magnitsky, by agents of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

Curiously, this reporter also learned last month that D.C. publicist Chris Cooper of The Potomac Square Group was hired to write a letter on Rep. Gabbard’s behalf in July 2017 to a mainstream news editor here in Hawai'i. The apparent intent of the letter was to discredit this reporter and prevent this series from being published in Hawai'i's mainstream news media.
Incidentally, in 2016, the same Chris Cooper was hired by Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya’s Human Rights Accountability Global Initiative Foundation (HRAGIF) to promote a Russian docudrama aimed at reversing U.S. sanctions against Putin and his financial associates. Veselnitskaya and HRAGIF also happen to be at the heart of the U.S. Justice Department’s current Special Counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election.
While this may simply be a coincidence without nefarious connections, it seems an odd professional choice - considering recent questions about Rep. Gabbard's loyalties - to hire a publicist with such ties. Neither Rep. Gabbard nor Cooper responded to questions about the letter.</font></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4" style="">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">I was first exposed to Tulsi Gabbard when I read, along with everyone else, about her legitimizing visit to Assad in 2017, where she claimed she was already in the country when she received an opportunity to meet with him. From the Guardian:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“Initially I hadn’t planned on meeting him,” Gabbard told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “When the opportunity arose to meet with him, I did so, because I felt it’s important that if we profess to truly care about the Syrian people, about their suffering, then we’ve got to be able to meet with anyone that we need to if there is a possibility that we could achieve peace. And that’s exactly what we talked about.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The problem with that line is that her trip was paid for by AACCESS: the Arab American Community Center for Economic and Social Services that since 2006 had reported no financial revenue to the government, and whose executive director, Bassam Khawam, traveled with Gabbard and has connections to the pro-Assad group, SSNP- the Syrian Social Nationalist party. </font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Her comments about the trip were chilling, and not in the way that one would imagine after seeing a country so devastated by war. </font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Adam Kinzinger, a fellow congressman, commented:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“She has the audacity to say that everywhere she went people supported Assad,” Kinzinger said. “Of course, when you have an Assad-led tour, he’s only going to take you to places where people like him”.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>In fact, what she did was tour Aleppo after it had been decimated by Assad and Russia, and declared it a victory for peace.</b> She made videos that regurgitated Assad propaganda from Assad-friendly Syrians and blamed the United States and the rebels for the destruction Assad’s regime wrought. She helped a mass murderer whitewash mass atrocities.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Strangely, she has also allowed her 2017 trip to drive her narrative about Assad, rather than her 2015 trip that she took with a congressional delegation to the Turkey-Syrian border. There, the delegation met with opposition groups to Assad and met with survivors of the war. According to Rogin in that same article:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">But Gabbard never talks about her other trip — to the Turkish-Syrian border with a group of lawmakers in June 2015, when she met with authentic opposition leaders, victims of Assad’s barrel bombs and members of the volunteer rescue brigade known as the White Helmets. Their stories, which don’t support Assad’s narrative, never make it into Gabbard’s speeches on the campaign trail</span>.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">For all of Gabbard’s talk about ending forever wars, she doesn’t seem to prioritize talking about the autocrats who instill them upon their countries. She blames the US for the destruction in Syria, and that Russian airstrikes on Syrian civilians are worthy of praise:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In an ad promoting her candidacy for President, she decried “regime change wars” (sound familiar?) and then used footage of Assad’s forces in Syria dropping barrel bombs on civilians. An article in the Daily Beast explains:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) used footage of Syria’s Assad regime dropping barrel bombs on a Syrian city in a campaign ad blasting “regime change wars.” The ad features Gabbard telling viewers that “The cost of regime change wars have been carried out under the guise of humanitarian cause in countries like Syria” amid barrel bombs falling on the city of Daraya in February 2016. Human-rights groups have criticized the use of barrel bombs for their indiscriminate effect on civilians and Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad has denied using them. Gabbard has garnered criticism from Democrats for her friendly approach to the Assad regime. She expressed skepticism that the Syrian military used chemical weapons to kill civilians in 2017, as the UN subsequently confirmed and met with Assad during a delegation to the country in 2017.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">That last sentence — which I bolded — is also what drew my attention to Gabbard. After the bruising 2016 election, in which some online acquaintances of mine voted Jill Stein because Clinton was a ‘warmonger’, I watched them parroting that crap about Assad not having been the one to have used chemical weapons on his own people. I pushed back and was accused of being a pro-Hillary warmonger myself (guess I didn’t go to all those anti-war rallies in 2003), and clearly blind to who was actually using the chemical weapons in Syria: the CIA, apparently. </font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Cooper’s role was, in part, to promote a Russian-made documentary titled, The Magnitsky Act, that was created by filmmaker Andrei Nekrasov, to discount Browder’s story about what happened to Magnitsky and to exonerate Russian officials.</b> The film, originally scheduled to be shown in the spring of 2016 to the European Parliament, had its screening canceled there because of its controversial content. By that time, Natalia Veselnitskaya, who we’d come to learn more about after Trump was elected, was involved with the promotion of the film. In the United States, Chris Cooper would secure a screening at the Newseum. The New York Times reported at the time,</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In the United States, Mr. Nekrasov has retained the Potomac Square Group, a small public affairs and lobbying firm that has worked for Bahrain, Kuwait and Azerbaijan, among other foreign governments. It is run by Christopher Cooper, a former Wall Street Journal reporter.<b> Mr. Cooper rented the theater in the Newseum and declined to say who was paying his company. </b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Members of Congress were invited to attend, although only a few sent staffers. </font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Chris Cooper is, apparently, a publicist hired to make unflattering stories go away. Christine Gralow, a writer who began publicizing a story about Gabbard’s history with the Kailua-based Science of Identity Foundation. I’m less interested in this aspect than I am about Cooper’s involvement. According to Gralow,</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Then, Gabbard’s D.C. publicist, Chris Cooper of The Potomac Square Group, sent a rambling email to an editor at Honolulu Magazine about me. Cooper’s general M.O. is to use his status as a former Wall Street Journal reporter to rake in money from politicians who want stories buried. He is tied to Fusion GPS, which is also run by former Wall Street Journal reporters turned ethically challenged D.C. damage fixers. Per Politico, <b>Cooper is also being investigated by the Senate Judiciary Committee around his 2016 work for Kremlin attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya.</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Gralow notes that she had to establish her own nonprofit news group and publish independently after experiencing cowardice from an editor, who was apparently swayed by Cooper's email.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
