Now we are learning that there was a former Soviet counterintelligence officer in the meeting with Kushner, Manafort, and Trump Jr. as well. Oh my! Update!

Courtesy of NBC News:  

The Russian lawyer who met with the Trump team after a promise of compromising material on Hillary Clinton was accompanied by a Russian-American lobbyist — a former Soviet counter intelligence officer who is suspected by some U.S. officials of having ongoing ties to Russian intelligence, NBC News has learned. 

NBC News is not naming the lobbyist, who denies any current ties to Russian spy agencies. He accompanied the lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, to the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower attended by Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort. 

The Russian-born American lobbyist served in the Soviet military and emigrated to the U.S., where he holds dual citizenship.

Veselnitskaya acknowledged to NBC News that she was accompanied by at least one other man, though she declined to identify him.

Though neither Veselnitskava nor NBC News has named this former Soviet agent, the name did leak.

Rinat Akhmetshin is the name, and according to a Reuters piece from last year he is a Russian "Gun for Hire," who it seems has some history of working to restart those Russian adoptions: 

Akhmetshin has paid at least one visit to Congress in connection with new human rights legislation that builds on the earlier Magnitsky Act. Along with Ron Dellums, a former U.S. congressman from California and longtime Washington lobbyist, Akhmetshin visited House member offices on May 17 to meet with Dana Rohrabacher, another California congressman viewed as one of the most sympathetic U.S. officials to Russian causes.

Akhmetshin has claimed that he was never a Soviet agent, but that does not seem to be widely believed.

In fact William Browder, the founder of the investment advisory firm Hermitage Capital, lays out the significance of this individual's participation in the meeting:

"In the world of Russian intelligence, there is no such thing as a 'former intelligence officer,'" he said. "So in my opinion you had a member of Putin's secret police directly meeting with the son of the future next president of the United States asking to change US sanctions policy crucial to Putin."

Sounds pretty significant, don't you think?

However putting that aside the point remains that Junior did not identify this man when he was supposedly "coming clean" about this meeting, and in fact according to Junior's attorney there may have been even a SIXTH person in attendance, who is currently unnamed.

Remember, "It is not the crime, it's the coverup."

And clearly the Trumps. and their associates, are working overtime to cover something up here.

Update: We are also learning that despite an early denial, that Trump has confirmed that he knew about this meeting:  

On Wednesday afternoon, Trump told Reuters that “No. That I didn’t know. Until a couple of days ago, when I heard about this. No I didn’t know about that,” referring to the meeting between Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort. 

Trump changed his tune later in the day, when he told reporters on Air Force One: “In fact maybe it was mentioned at some point,” referring to the meeting. (Reporters on the plane initially thought the conversation was off-the-record, but the President said otherwise on Thursday.)

There is also evidence that Trump was in Trump Tower when this meeting took place, which of course already rendered ridiculous the idea that he was never told about it.

Seriously, these people seem genetically incapable of telling the truth.

    It was mentioned on another post that:

    "Russian oligarch’s lawyer confirms his client had ‘phone relationship’ with Don Jr. prior to clandestine meeting"


    Is that the media making this thing bigger than it is. Could be that "Phone relationship" in the Oval Office maybe means phone sex?

    djt 2013>“I’ve done a lot of business with the Russians, I know the Russians very well. They’re smart and they’re tough and they’re not looking so dumb right now.” That was around the time of the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow, when Trump was tight with billionaire oligarch Aras Agalarov, also known as Putin’s builder, and his pop star son Emin, both of whom were instrumental in the “Hillary dirt”
    "it was a typical Trump arrangement in which Agalarov would build the tower and license Trump’s name for big dollars. Donald Jr. was put it charge and Ivanka even made a trip in 2014 to see the proposed property. Unfortunately for the Trumps, the project got shelved when the Russian economy went south due to the sanctions imposed by the U.S. and the European Union following the Russian incursion into CRIMEa"

    DON'T PANIC JUST YET. THIS MAYBE A JOINT EXERCISE THAT WAS AGREED TO IN HAMBURG AT THE SECRET MEETING?


    As you've noticed, United States has gradually becomes strategically isolated after several European nations (except the United Kingdom) withdraw from NATO.

    At the same time, the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact partners aggressively expand their sphere of influence.

    In addition, the Ukrainian wheat harvest fails while a Communist coup d'etat occurs in Mexico.

    This morning, our high school teacher paused when he sees Soviet paratroopers landing in a nearby field.

    The paratroopers took our teacher when he confronted them. Pandemonium followed as students fled our school.

    In downtown, Cuban and Soviet troops are trying to impose order after a hasty occupation.

    Cuban Colonel Bella instructed the KGB to go to a local sporting goods store and obtain the records of the store's gun sales on the ATF's Form 4473, which lists citizens who have purchased firearms.

    My brother and I, along with our friends Robert, Danny, Daryl, and Aardvark, fled into the wilderness after hastily equipping ourselves at a sporting goods store owned by my dad.

    While on the way to the mountains, we ran into a Soviet roadblock, but are saved by an attacking U.S. Army UH-1helicopter gunship.

    After several weeks in the forest, we snuck back into town; my brother and I learned that our father is being held in a re-education camp.

    We visited the site and spoke to dad through the fence; Dad told not to worry. This is just a joint exercise between USA and Russia that was setup and agreed to by President Trump and his new friend Vladimir in Hamburg.

    We visited the Masons and learn that we are behind enemy lines in

    "Occupied America." 

    We resisted the occupation with guerrilla warfare, calling ourselves the Wolverines, after our high school mascot.

    The movie Red Dawn was ahead of its time. How could they have seen and predicted what our country would be going through. The writers, director and everybody else should make another Red Dawn movie using the recent incidences, the president and The First Family and the White House administration in their script.

    Here's a recommendation for the casting, use President Trump. He loves being in front of the cameras.

    Dems mock Trump Jr with giant Time cover on the House floor — and read his emails into the Congressional Record

    Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) on Friday read the full contents of Donald Trump Jr.’s email chain on the House Floor, accompanied by a print of TIME magazine’s most recent cover, a photo of Trump’s eldest son superimposed with the words, “Red Handed.”

    “Don. Jr.’s emails are a smoking gun,” Gallego told his colleagues at the House of Representatives. “They prove that the Trump campaign was not only aware of the Russian government’s efforts to meddle in our elections, they were enthusiastic about accepting Russian support.”

    Gallegos said the emails paint a “disturbing picture of a campaign and now an administration willing to break the law and sell out to an adversary of the United States in order to advance their own petty interests.”

    Reading out Trump Jr.’s statement which accompanied the email, Gallegos noted that despite the president’s son’s assurance that he was publishing the emails in the interest of transparency, “he wasn’t even in this email.” Recent reports indicate as many as eight people were present at the June 2016 meeting, though Trump Jr. originally indicated it was only himself, former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya.

    Referencing Trump Jr.’s response to finding out he would be obtaining information damaging to Hillary Clinton at the meeting, Gallegos tore into the president’s eldest son.

    “Mr. Speaker: ‘I love it.’ His response was ‘I love it,’” Gallegos said. “I’ve worked in politics for a long time, I’ve never been approached with information from a foreign government. But if I was, my response would not be, ’I love it.’ My response would be, ‘this is completely inappropriate.’ My response would be, ‘don’t ever contact me again.’ My response would be, ‘I’m calling the FBI.’”

    “In this email, Donald Trump Jr. showed his true colors,” he continued. “This email proves that he lacks basic integrity, and the willingness of Jared Kushner to attend that meeting proves that he, too, is no patriot.”

    He and Lieu proceeded to read out the contents of the email, pausing at times to pepper the exchange with their own commentary. Noting Trump Jr.’s pledge to lock in a meeting with Veselnitskaya, Gallegos said, “that’s some eagerness that this man has for this information.”

An executive at Mace, the London-based construction firm that oversaw the tower’s conversion to a hotel, met with Ivanka in Baku and New York. He told me, “She had very strong feelings, not just about the design but about the back of the hotel—landscaping, everything.” The Azerbaijani lawyer said, “Ivanka personally approved everything.”

    "Ranit Akhmetshin, the Russian-American lobbyist and former Soviet military officer who accompanied a Russian lawyer to a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. last year, is no stranger to scandal.

    Akhmetshin is roughly 50 years old and holds dual Russian-American citizenship. He has kept a relatively low profile in Washington, D.C., until recently, but has spent decades embedded in several high-stakes lobbying campaigns on behalf of the former Soviet Union.

    “I know of no Russian gun-for-hire who managed to run his campaigns so successfully, running circles around purportedly much more seasoned Washington hands,” veteran reporter Steve LeVine told Radio Free Europe in June 2016.

    Akhmetshin confirmed to The Associated Press on Friday that he had participated in the now-infamous meeting between President Donald Trump’s eldest son and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, and Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager at the time, also attended. "

    It was about lifting the sanctions. Probably a "If she get you dirt on Hillary and you win, will you lift the sanctions for us. " You know. Trump's old pay to play.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/anatoli-samochornov-trump-jr-russia-meeting_us_5966ac00e4b0a8d46d11f69f?pv&ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

    "When President Donald Trump’s son, son-in-law and campaign chairman met last June with a Russian lawyer they’d been told had “incriminating” information from the Russian government about Hillary Clinton, there were other people in the room. One of the previously unidentified attendees was Anatoli Samochornov, a Russian-born American translator who previously spent years working for the U.S. government.

    Samochornov would not confirm that he was in the room, citing nondisclosure agreements. But The New York Times’ Ken Vogel said Friday on MSNBC that Samochornov was at the June 9 meeting in Trump Tower. The interpreter’s mother-in-law also confirmed his attendance at the meeting to The Daily Beast.

    Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who met with the Trump team, had previously told the Times that an interpreter attended the meeting, but refused to name him. Veselnitskaya does not speak English, and Samochornov has worked with her several times over the past year, including around the time of the meeting with Trump Jr.

    The Associated Press and NBC News confirmed Friday that Veselnitskaya’s top U.S. lobbyist, Rinat Akhmetshin, also attended the meeting with her. Akhmetshin is a Russian-American with past ties to Russian intelligence. "

    So. That brings us up to six.

    Junior
    Kushner
    Manafort
    Velnitskaya
    Akhmetshin
    Samochornov

    I wonder who else they have "forgotten" was attending the meeting.

    Did Donnie Sr. stick his head in the meeting for a bit to say HI and brag about something?

      He had to sign a nondisclosure agreement to meet at Trump Tower with the campaign big wigs? That doesn't make it sound like Don Jr would think it was such a nothingburger. That wouldn't be something everyone would forget.

      Anatoli Samochornov is an American citizen who has translated for Natalia Veselnitskaya in court and for her lobbying group before their fateful meeting in Trump Tower.

      Samochornov can be interviewed. What's he going to do? Lie?

    So Trump sends his daughter to a bad neighborhood in the most corrupt area of Azerbaijan for a few days of photo-shoots. Daughter is made The Trump Organization's official of the Baku Project. She doesn't have to return to Baku since she can do her decorating wonders via phone and electronic messaging from her elite dwelling in NYC and various luxury sites where she can maintain her social and other business obligations.

    Trump bff's are the Agalarov family of Baku. Aras Agalarov, the Donald Trump of Russia, is a Russian oligarch like the Mammadovs of Azerbaijani. If they weren't billionaires with ties to Putin they would just be regular lowlife Russian mobsters with ties to Putin.
    Agalarov friends did not clue Trump into the corruption and connections to the Iran Revolutionary Guard? Or is Trump just an American oligarch that is equally or more corrupt than the Russian Oligarchs?
    Disgusting that they go into a low rent area and throw out the citizens that are just trying to have a home and rightfully live their lives, The Trump Organization wants to build this farce of a tower with the Trump name in a place that is not right for the Caspian Sea elite. Trump said he did not pay any money. What did he give and get out of this? His daughter had a job with a title and she only has to do a photo shoot and can remain in the comfort of her luxury life. Interior decorating by phone, which seems to be the only part of the project that made any progress. So they leave the neighborhood with an eyesore that only looks nice on the inside.
    Heartless sick and corrupt developers. Ivanka Trump comes off as a fool to be their tool. She must hate women and families or she would not put up with evicting the citizens for the corrupt oligarchy of Putin's gang.

    Even though the Trump Organization appears to have withdrawn from the Baku Tower deal, serious questions remain unanswered about the Trump Organization's potential criminal liability.
