This sure looks like an Obama set-up. Lynch approves a Visa for the Russian lawyer, who was on a “deny entry list”. Then she wiretapped the meeting between the lawyer and D jr.

It seems the only criminal activity here was done by Lynch.

"Manaforts phone was illegally bugged during meeting with Russian Lawyer, confirmed by multiple sources. Lynch ordered it."

Entrapment.

Originally, Veselnitskaya told The New York Times that the person who joined her in the meeting “was an interpreter whom she declined to name.”

Although the emails say that the purpose of the meeting is to have Veselnitskaya provide Trump Jr. with damaging information on former Secretary of State and Democratic nominee for president Hillary Clinton, Trump Jr. says that none materialized.

Trump Jr. claims that Veselnitskaya’s information about Hillary was vague and lacked proof. Instead, she shifted the conversations to the Magnitsky Act, a sanctions bill that was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2012 intended to punish Russian officials responsible for the death of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky. Magnitsky died in a Russian prison after he uncovered a tax fraud scheme involving a number of high-level Russian officials.

The law allows the U.S. president to deny visas to and freeze the assets of individuals believed to be complicit in Magnitsky’s death.

Akhmetshin confirmed his presence at the meeting Friday and told the AP Friday that the meeting was “not substantive” and that he “actually expected a more serious discussion.”

I thought the tweet was from the Fusion GPS employee ....so back to the article:

*******************************************************

Now, a former Trump campaign official reports that Paul Manafort’s phone was subject to FISA wiretap during the infamous meeting.

************************************************

How do we know that?

[Lockbox]

So Fusion GPS collaborated to produce a 35-page FAKE dossier of research about President Trump’s financial and political ties to Russia. Then Obama/Clinton’s AG uses the FAKE dossier to get a FISA warranty to spy on Trump and then have Fusion GPS create a FAKE reason to meet with Trump, Jr and also send in a Fusion GPS employee?

Can you spell conspiracy?

The FISA establishes a much more stringent standard in circumstances involving the electronic surveillance of “United States persons.” In such circumstances, the Executive may conduct electronic surveillance only pursuant to the FISA’s procedures for judicial review and approval. Each application for a surveillance order must include, inter alia:

1) the identity of the federal officer making the application;

2) the authority conferred on the Attorney General by the President of the United States and the approval of the Attorney General to make the application;

3) the identity, if known, or a description of the target of the electronic surveillance;

4) a statement of the facts and circumstances relied upon by the applicant to justify his belief that . . . the target of the electronic surveillance is a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power [and] each of the facilities or places [to be subjected to the surveillance] . . . is being used, or is about to be used, by a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power;

5) a statement of the proposed minimization procedures;

6) a detailed description of the nature of the information sought and the type of communications or activities to be subjected to the surveillance; [and]

7) a certification [from an appropriate executive branch official] . . . that the certifying official deems the information sought to be foreign intelligence information . . . that the purpose of the surveillance is to obtain foreign intelligence information . . . that such information cannot reasonably be obtained by normal investigative techniques

SO PRESIDENT TRUMP, TIME TO DEMAND RELEASE OF THE FISA APPLICATION AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION!

Article and comments, esp #15, #25, #27, #29, #43

From 25 - Excerpt
First, Loretta Lynch brings in Natalia Veselnitskaya on what is called a “visa parole”,
.....

This might work for catching a KNOWN criminal, but to set up such an elaborate scheme speaks of considerable pre-planning and intent to deceive the “mark”, in this instance persons in a high position within the Trump campaign.

As dirty tricks go, this was almost too elaborate for SOMETHING not to go wrong. And it went awry almost upon the arrival of the Trump team members at the meeting, when the object of the meeting shifted from “getting something to use as opposition research against Hillary Clinton” to a discussion of changing the restrictions on Russian child adoptions by US citizens.

The Trump team, sensibly, walked out when it was not going as advertised, and promptly forgot all about the incident. But the Lynch DOJ did NOT forget, and used this crumb to later throw it in the way of the Trump administration. Therefore, Donald Trump, Jr. LIED, and was no longer a fit member of the Presidential team, and thereby tarnishing the entire Trump Administration.

I wish I could put a “< /sarcasm >” tag on this, but maybe the truth is just too harsh.

Exclusive: DOJ let Russian lawyer into US before she met with Trump team!

BY JOHN SOLOMON AND JONATHAN EASLEY - 07/12/17 09:23 PM EDT

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.

This revelation means it was the Obama Justice Department that enabled the newest and most intriguing figure in the Russia-Trump investigation to enter the country without a visa.

Later, a series of events between an intermediary for the attorney and the Trump campaign ultimately led to the controversy surrounding Donald Trump Jr.

Just five days after meeting in June 2016 at Trump Tower with Trump Jr., Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Moscow attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya showed up in Washington in the front row of a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Russia policy, video footage of the hearing shows.

She also engaged in a pro-Russia lobbying campaign and attended an event at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., where Russian supporters showed a movie that challenged the underpinnings of the U.S. human rights law known as the Magnitsky Act, which Russian President Vladimir Putin has reviled and tried to reverse.

The Magnitsky Act imposed financial and other sanctions on Russia for alleged human rights violations connected to the death of a Russian lawyer who claimed to uncover fraud during Putin’s reign. Russia retaliated after the law was passed in 2012 by suspending Americans’ ability to adopt Russian children.

At least five congressional staffers and State Department officials attended that movie showing, according to a Foreign Agent Registration Act complaint filed with the Justice Department about Veselnitskaya’s efforts.

And Veselnitskaya also attended a dinner with the chairman of the House subcommittee overseeing Russia policy, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) and roughly 20 other guests at a dinner club frequented by Republicans.

In an interview with The Hill on Wednesday, Rohrabacher said, “There was a dinner at the Capitol Hill Club here with about 20 people. I think I was the only congressman there. They were talking about the Magnitsky case. But that wasn’t just the topic. There was a lot of other things going on. So I think she was there, but I don’t remember any type of conversation with her between us. But I understand she was at the table.”

Rohrabacher said he believed Veselnitskaya and her U.S. colleagues, which included former Rep. Ronald Dellums (D-Calif.), were lobbying other lawmakers to reverse the Magnitsky Act and restore the ability of Americans to adopt Russian children that Moscow had suspended.
