PURE EVIL: Fusion GPS Assisted Russia With Fake Dossier To Attempt To Kill A London Banker...

The target of a Fusion GPS opposition research investigation is accusing the firm, best known for its work on the Trump dossier, of assisting the Kremlin in its effort to have him “imprisoned and killed.”

The strong allegation comes from Bill Browder, a London-based banker who spearheaded the Magnitsky Act, a sanctions law vehemently opposed by the Russian government.

Browder made the allegation in response to the recent revelation that Fusion GPS and its founder Glenn Simpson compiled what he says is false information about him that was given to Yuri Chaika, Russia’s prosecutor general, and to Donald Trump Jr. during the infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting.

“If it is true that Glenn Simpson was supplying information about me to the Russian government, it’s far more serious than smear campaigning or Foreign Agents Registration Act violations,” said Browder, the head of Hermitage Capital.

“It would mean that Simpson was assisting the Putin regime in their plot to get me back to Russia to have me imprisoned and killed.”

It was previously known that the Washington, D.C-based Fusion GPS’s investigation of Browder was beneficial to the Russian government and its effort to reverse the Magnitsky Act. But it was revealed only last week that information Fusion collected on Browder was shared directly with Chaika, whose position is the Russian equivalent of...

An MS-13 gang member wanted for murder was arrested in Colorado on Friday after he allegedly stabbed a woman with a screwdriver and ran over her leg, police said.

Angel Ramos, 36, an illegal immigrant who was previously deported from the U.S., was taken into custody without incident Friday morning, FOX31 Denver reported. Ramos and a Fort Morgan woman were in a car on Nov. 4 when Ramos allegedly stabbed her with a screwdriver. The woman jumped out of the moving vehicle to escape Ramos, and the car ran over her leg, police said.

Ramos then tried to put the woman in the vehicle’s trunk before fleeing the scene, FOX31 Denver reported. He was captured after a nearly weeklong manhunt. Morgan County Sheriff’s Office officials believe the incident was a domestic violence case.

Investigators delved deeper into Ramos’ past and discovered he is a member of the notorious and vicious MS-13 gang and wanted for murder in El Salvador. It’s unclear when Ramos entered the U.S. and when he was deported.

"We’ve noticed a lot of people that have been fugitives that are hiding out here because they think they are not going to stick out," Morgan County Sheriff Jim Crone told FOX31 Denver. "Nobody is going to know them, which is just the opposite; that just brings more people to our attention.”

Ramos was charged with attempted first-degree murder, kidnapping and...

Muslim Immigrant Stabs Two at Mall of America in Minnesota

Two men were stabbed during a thwarted theft at the Mall of America in Minnesota on Sunday night and the suspect is in custody, police said.

Bloomington Police were dispatched to the men's department of the mall's Macy's department store following reports of a stabbing, Chief Jeff Potts said during a news conference later Sunday night. It was soon realized the situation was an interrupted theft, according to the cop.

The stabbing suspect, identified as Mahad Abdirahaman, 20, went into someone else's dressing room in an attempt to steal that person's property, Potts said. The victim confronted Abdirahaman, who then pulled out a knife and stabbed him, according to investigators.

Police said the man began to yell, and his family rushed to his side. The second stabbing victim was believed to be a family member or close friend trying to help the first victim. Both men are expected to survive.

Kim Schwieters told the Star Tribune she and her children were visiting Santa Claus outside of the Macy's entrance when she saw two police officers run...

No Charges For Hate Hoaxer Who Filed False Police Report, Spray-Painted Racist Graffiti On Own Car

Holding a hate hoaxer accountable for his false police report would "not be in the best interests of the citizens," so says Riley County Police Director Brad Schoen.

Dauntarius Williams, 21, who is African-American, admitted to police that he spray-painted his own car with racial slurs and filed a false police report.

Even though his false police report sparked a civil rights investigation by the FBI, Schoen said in a press release Monday he's not going to be charged.

As The Wichita Eagle reports:

Dauntarius Williams, 21, of Manhattan, “was genuinely remorseful and expressed sincere regret” of the negative media attention received as a result of his actions, Riley County Police Department said in a Nov. 6 release.

“While Williams’ mistake had a decidedly negative impact on the community, please recognize that he, like many of us when we were young, is a young man who made a mistake and is now doing his best to own up to it,” department director Brad Schoen said in the release.

"It was just a Halloween prank that got out of hand," Williams said in his defense.
