What I found interesting was her previous connection to McFaul.
Why would she have been denied a Visa? Maybe she was leveraged and the derps were saving her..or the denial was for optics.

Not necessarily nefarious. I have a Romanian friend who cannot get a visa to visit us, simply because he does not have enough property (home or vehicle), so that he would not consider overstaying his visa. This despite his sister being married to a US missionary in Romania, and his niece being born in the US. The US is pretty strict on who they will allow.
Romania is hoping to get on the Visa Waiver list, but has been waiting many years.
