The money laundering case was handled by DOJ attorney Preet Bharara until he was fired in March 2017. The case was settled May 12, 2017 for $6M
Thanks. Dont know if his case was flimsy and thus settlement right before trial or what
I will say this...if veselnitskaya pulled this stunt without russia approval on behalf of dems she is in real trouble . Its roped in an oligarch and Chaika.
Tweets from former ambassador bring up good point
Was she doing it to curry favor with kremlin or was it sanctioned.
Its blown up. We will see what happens
If the case had any merit, it was settled on unusually favorable terms for Natalia Veselnitskaya's clients.
If the case had no merits was some sort of pressure being applied or some sort of coercion taking place.
The fact that case was settled very soon after Bharara left could be significant.
At any rate, it would not be a bad idea to look at the settlement of the lawsuit in the context the meeting with Donald Trump Jr, attempts by Democrats and Republicans to fabricate a dossier on President Trump and the illegal spying on the Trump campaign.
Preet’s boys followed his orders most likely...even after he was fired!
