Thanks. No, I mean, I understand the basic gist of that meeting, and what is implies about the Trump campaign. I was asking about Browder. The US government enacted the Magnitsky act and recently asked him to testify in front of the committee. One imagines they are basically sympathetic, even if the current WH have opposing views - not ideologically, of course, but as a payment to the Russians for services rendered.
So, I don't see a reason why the US government would revoke a visa just because the Russians want them to. If anything the Russians wanted them to would just make it less likely. And it seems unlikely the WH could move unilaterally on this, not while McCain is still kicking at any rate.
