The piece confirms that Baumgartner (who did the doc Dem research we didn't get to see) was also interacting w/Veselnitskaya around the time of Trump Tower meeting -- tho he's clear he didn't hear abt it.

Some points on this profile of Ed Baumgartner: It notes that (contrary to Simpson's testimony) Baumgartner was simultaneously billing for Prevezon--probably lobbying support, which is key--and for Dem oppo research. http://www.businessinsider.com/ed-baumgartner-fusion-gps-christopher-steele-russia-projects-2018-1 … Simpson was VERY forgetful abt that.

Not answered -- or even mentioned -- is the other question SJC staffers asked: Does Baumgartner know Rinat Akhmetshin? If he worked the lobbying stuff, the answer is Yes.

All of which is to say the piece confirms (without acknowledging that it does) that something Simpson was very hesitant to talk about -- that at least one more Fusion person, besides him, might have mentioned the dossier project to someone who would alert the Russians.

Reading the transcribed testimony, I thought it was made perfectly clear that Baumbartner was involved in both projects. I have always had a very favorable impression of your reading comprehension and am sincerely shocked.
-
Please read what I've actually written, then. What Simpson claimed is that the involvement was serial: Prevezon ends in June then DNC starts. Records make it clear Baumgartner was working on both AT SAME TIME.
-
he said he thought Prevezon "was winding down" clearly stating there was overlap.
-
Except it wasn't. It billed all the way through October.
-
The entire time Baumgartner was billing for DNC work, he was still billing for Prevezon work. Last Baker Hostetler payments were October 31.
