The Russian lawyer who met with Trump campaign officials in Trump Tower in June 2016 on the premise that she would deliver damaging information about Hillary Clinton has long insisted she is a private attorney, not a Kremlin operative trying to meddle in the presidential election.
But newly released emails show that in at least one instance two years earlier, the lawyer, Natalia V. Veselnitskaya, worked hand in glove with Russia’s chief legal office to thwart a Justice Department civil fraud case against a well-connected Russian firm.
Ms. Veselnitskaya also appears to have recanted her earlier denials of Russian government ties. During an interview to be broadcast Friday by NBC News, she acknowledged that she was not merely a private lawyer but a source of information for a top Kremlin official, Yuri Y. Chaika, the prosecutor general.
“I am a lawyer, and I am an informant,” she said. “Since 2013, I have been actively communicating with the office of the Russian prosecutor general.”
Not exactly surprising news I know, but still nice to hear her finally admit it.
Veselnitskava also brought a certain memo with her to that meeting.
Courtesy of Business Insider:
The Russian lawyer who met with President Donald Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman last June at Trump Tower brought a memo with her to that meeting that contained many of the same talking points as one written by the Russian prosecutor's office two months earlier.
The memo Natalia Veselnitskaya provided to the Trump campaign last year focused on banker-turned-human rights activist Bill Browder, whose reputation has become inextricably linked to the global human-rights campaign he launched in 2009 after tax lawyer Sergei Magnitsky died in a Russian prison.
..........
The document's language closely mirrored the contents of a memo provided to Republican US Rep. Dana Rohrabacher by the office of Russia's chief federal prosecutor Yuri Chaika while Rohrabacher was in Moscow last April.
The document is marked "confidential" but made the rounds on Capitol Hill upon the lawmaker's return to the US and was obtained by Business Insider.
Go ahead, act surprised that Rohrabacher is the one who received this memo.
So now it's confirmed that Junior, Kushner, and Manafort all met with a Russian spy during the campaign. (Well at least one that we know of.)
If you are looking for proof of collusion between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign you really do not have to go much further than this Trump Tower meeting.
But of course it is by no means the only evidence of collusion.

DeleteIn America, you can say it isn't so, and it isn't so. Nowadays, truth don't mean shit.
ReplyDeleteI mean Donald can go on a rampage on fox network and it's treated as normal. If Obama had pulled that Ryan and McConnell would have had him lynched. You know they watched his every move.
Now that we have a cray cray white man in the white house, no one says boo. Typical.
It's why the Republicans are responsible for it all and they own Trump and all of the destruction he is reaping.
DeleteThey also cannot DARE to challenge any Democratic president for ANYTHING because Trump will constantly be thrown in their faces.
Ari Melber Explains Why The Trump Tower Russia Meeting Was A Crime
ReplyDelete...Ari Melber said, “A lot of this is coming together in public. Now, that is all about the Russians’ involvement in the trump tower meeting. Today we’re also seeing what Donald Trump junior, one of the key hosts to put it together after the e-mails. What he said about it. He’s saying the first topic that Veselnitskaya raised was Hillary Clinton’s donors. Which means where it started was offering this derogatory information about Clinton. So yes, the meeting was about dirt on Hillary Clinton. And yes, now we know the Russians had a link to Putin who was kicking off the conversation. You know, the learning curve about what happened here may not be that steep after all.”
The MSNBC host later explained why the Trump Tower meeting was a crime, “Let’s be clear, campaigns do want information. But information in someone else’s office? You can’t just steal it. That’s a crime. Ask Richard Nixon. Information offered by a lawyer contract Kremlin. You can’t think a thing of value from a foreigner in a campaign. That’s a crime.”

Schiff: GOP Blocked Dem Effort To Learn About Trump Jr. Call Ahead Of Meeting
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, told the Washington Post on Friday that Republicans on the committee blocked an effort by Democrats to learn more about a phone call Donald Trump Jr. made that may have been related to the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Kremlin-linked lawyer.
Trump Jr. made three phone calls on June 6, 2016, three days before the meeting, two of which were with Emin Agalarov, the Russian pop star who helped arrange the Trump Tower meeting, according to Democrats’ official response to the Republican report from the House Intelligence Committee released on Friday. In between the two phone calls, Trump Jr. spoke with someone using a blocked phone number, which may have been his dad, Donald Trump, according to the Democrats.
Democrats wanted to subpoena the phone records to determine the identity of that person, but Republicans refused, Schiff told the Washington Post…….

Fox News poll: Most Americans think Mueller's probe will find Trump committed impeachable offenses
A Fox News poll released this week found that most Americans believe the Russia probe will yield impeachable offenses and a solid two-thirds of the public think completing the probe is important to some extent. The Hill writes:
Fifty-six [percent] of respondents in the poll said they believed Mueller’s probe will find that Trump committed the offenses. And 67 percent say they believe it’s at least somewhat important that Mueller’s investigation continues.
However, 71 percent said they think that Trump will fire Mueller before the probe is over. [...]
Sixty-four percent of respondents in the poll overall also said they believe Mueller is treating the White House fairly.

Keep in mind, whatever we're hearing about now in the media, Mueller knew months ago. He has evidence of a lot more than this now.
ReplyDeleteAnd no. I'm not surprised at all. I won't be surprised by anything. When the pee tapes finally surface, I still won't be surprised.
Maybe they can show the pee tapes and the Melania nudies on a split screen. Won't we be so proud ? Merikkka!

Trump kept saying other presidents should have taken care of the Korea peace deal. He kept saying it over and over. And then saying it falls to him to do it, and it's getting done.
ReplyDeleteTrump sounds codependent. He definitely doesn't like his job. I wonder if he does all the hard work like he make it sound like, or he's just pissed he has to apply himself as others around him are pitching things his way as their grandiose way of propping up his fat lying ass?
Are you off your meds?

ReplyDeletePutin found a way in Trump to take down America. All our weknesess were tapped into.
From blaming Mexicans for loss of jobs to the untapped rascist element that still seethed over President Obama.
Putin must be laughing at the chaos he caused and is now willing to throw it in our face.
Putin knew a weak puppet when he saw it and he saw it in Trump.
Putin "thinks" that is what he can/will do. Not at all.
DeleteShake of head. Dumbfuk Putin "thinks" he knows loyalty, but he sold Russia out. They let him. Russia is so drunk they don't care? Did it occur to them to put down the Vodka?

In conclusion, among the causes of the relatively high mortality especially among men in Russia, not clearly perceptible from the literature, are the limited availability of modern health care, and toxicity of some legally sold alcoholic beverages, acknowledging that there has been a tendency of quality improvement of sold alcohol since approximately the last decade."

ReplyDelete'“What’s important is to look at this in the broader scope of illicit connections between members of the Trump campaign and Trump administration and the Kremlin and oligarchs,” Kendzior suggested. “Trump, Jr. is only one part of this puzzle.”
“They are trying to say there is no collusion, but I think what we’re seeing here is the cover up,” “We have two layers of this problem, one is what they did in the illicit ties and the other is the constant lying that’s been going on for the last two years.”'
