Why not just hire Eric Holder or someone to waste taxpayer money?
A hearing on the Russian doping scandal will be held by the United States' Helsinki Commission in Washington. D.C. next week, it has been announced.
The briefing, looking at the need to protect whistleblowers and how to tackle fraud in sport, is due to take place at the US Capitol Visitor Center Washington on Thursday (February 22). The group, also known as the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, will hold a discussion on the Oscar-nominated documentary Icarus during the hearing.
Brilliant. Rather than discuss actual facts, they discuss a Hollywood cariacture, plumping up traitor Rodchenkov's image?
You probably have no idea what this "Helsinki Commission" is. Well, perversely, it was founded decades ago to reduce strain from Westerners against Russo-phobia.
"After fleeing Russia for fear of retaliation, Dr. Rodchenkov now lives a precarious life in the United States, relying on whistleblower protections and fearful that Russian agents may one day come knocking," read the announcement on the Helsinki Commission's website.
"This briefing features Dr. Rodchenkov’s attorney, Jim Walden, for a conversation on combating fraud in sports and the role of whistleblowers in safeguarding the integrity of international competitions. It will also include a discussion of the Oscar-nominated documentary Icarus, which chronicles Dr. Rodchenkov’s journey from complicit head of Russia’s anti-doping laboratory to courageous whistleblower."
The Commission is an independent US Government agency, created by Congress in 1975 to monitor and encourage compliance with the Helsinki Final Act. The Act was established as part of an attempt to ease strained relations between the Communist bloc and Western nations.
