Just in case you were wondering how the “self-impeachment” was coming along well……...it’s coming along to the tune of $250,000 worth for the DCCC.

I won’t post all of his donations to the DCCC but click the link above and you’ll see them.
Per the FEC website, Blavatnik's wife Emily donated a matching amount to the DCCC just this past June. That's almost a quarter million dollars from an oligarch reportedly from Putin's inner circle. See above.
Read the Twitter feed below on the link. Very interesting history on Blavatnik and how Putin’s oligarchs operate. They essentially buy politicians and then hold it over them for blackmail. Moscow Mitch anyone ?

As a Harvard alumna, I find this appalling. Mr. Blavatnik — who, with a net worth of over $20 billion, is the richest man in Britain and the 29th-richest in America — cut his teeth in the brutal aluminum wars in 1990s Russia alongside Oleg Deripaska and Roman Abramovich, who has estimated that every three days someone in the business was murdered. Together, they acquired an empire of recently privatized metals and energy companies, often for outrageously low prices.
Deripaska ? Where have I heard that name before ? Oh, that’s right ! Moscow Mitch’s Kentucky aluminum plant !
Charlie Pierce smelled this out long ago.

Salon article on Blavatnik.

Replying to @Pamacious and @thehill
More on Blavatnik. Remember how sanctions were dropped against Russian oligarch Deripaska? And the aluminum plant in Kentucky we've been yelling about? Blavatnik was one of Deripaska's business partners and among Putin's inner circle. https://nytimes.com/2018/12/05/opi
Blavatnik has donated to Chris Coons, Sen. Peters, etc. So Moscow Mitch’s oligarch bribes with an aluminum plant in Kentucky while the DCCC’s oligarch bribes with hundreds of thousands in campaign donations that Cheri Bustos, Pelosi and many others welcome.
My guess is the “self-impeaching” isn’t exactly on the fast track. Read through these links if you can stand the rotting fish smell. If you wanted to know why these investigations are being slow walked just read through the links. You’ll begin to see the light.
