Exclusive: DOJ let Russian lawyer into US before she met with Trump team
The Hill ^ | John Solomon and Jonathan Easley

Posted on 07/12/2017 8:40:06 PM PDT by kevao

The Russian lawyer who penetrated Donald Trump’s inner circle was initially cleared into the United States by the Justice Department under “extraordinary circumstances” before she embarked on a lobbying campaign last year that ensnared the president’s eldest son, members of Congress, journalists and State Department officials, according to court and Justice Department documents and interviews.

Who granted "extraordinary circumstances?" What were those "extraordinary circumstances?"

Most importantly, who will ask these questions? I fear, nobody....

This women met with every politician she could. How come we don’t know the names of the other politicians that she met with. Why don’t we know about the other politicians that any Russian met with. If Putin was trying to throw our election, who is to say he was only interested in the Presidential election. I think the Senate and the rest of Congress shoulds say if they met with Russians. And how about the media and other government workers.

And since DOS had to give their concurrence for any such clearance, how much was donated to the Clinton Foundation?

As the story says, the extraordinary circumstances were related to her client's testimony at trial and Loretta Lynch approved it.

Problem is, that only covered Oct 2015 - Jan 2016. The story goes on to say......

The court record indicates the presiding judge asked the Justice Department to extend Veselnitskaya’s immigration parole another week until he decided motions in the case. There are no other records in the court file indicating what happened with that request or how Veselnitskaya appeared in the country later that spring.

She was either given another extension or she stayed in the country illegally through June.

The article says Loretta Lynch granted her a special “immigration parole”.

Who? The MSM? Ryan/Mitchell? Jeff Sessions? None of these, so who's left?

The real story is that Trump wasn’t supposed to win.

Exactly. The Trump win was a true black swan event. Lots of stuff that wasn’t supposed to come out is now starting to come to the surface of the swamp. Best presidential election ever.

Things are coming together. Hope Trump stays safe in France. I feel like the globalist may try something there. Always had a bad feeling after he made plans to go there.

“The sources also described their interactions with Veselnitskaya in the same way that Trump Jr. did. They claimed not to know who she worked for or what her motives were.

“Natalia didn’t speak a word of English,” said one source. “Don’t let anyone tell you this was a sophisticated lobbying effort. It was the least professional campaign I’ve ever seen. If she’s the cream of the Moscow intelligence community then we have nothing to worry about.”

I don’t doubt that DJTJr. speaks Russian but was there an interpreter in the room? No one has mentioned any conversations not taking place in English...
