In Russia, Browder is notorious for his financial crimes back in the 2000s as the CEO of Hermitage Capital investment company. The businessman was sentenced in absentia to nine years in prison for tax evasion by a Russian court. According to the 2013 verdict, Browder together with his Russian lawyer Sergey Magnitsky failed to pay over 552 million rubles in taxes (about US$16 million).
The American was also found guilty of illegally buying shares in the country’s gas giant, Gazprom, costing Russia at least 3 billion rubles (US$100 million).
Following the death of Magnitsky in a Moscow detention center in 2009, Browder actively lobbied for the so-called Magnitsky Act, a 2012 law that allowed the US government to seize assets from a number of alleged Russian human rights abusers as well as barring them from entering the country.

Yeah Graham was clearly trying to protect whomever requested or worked on getting the dossier.
From what a lot of this sounds like the Russians were playing both sides trying to great chaos in our election.

Graham may have been in on getting the dossier to begin with... He was a Presidential hopeful...

Graham is still trying to protect McCain from collusion with the Russians over the dossier.
