Russian official with ties to lawyer in Trump Tower meeting dies in helicopter crash (2018)
The Hill ^ | 12/14/2018 | John Bowden

A Russian deputy attorney general, who is thought to have directed Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya in her efforts abroad on behalf of Russia's government, reportedly died Wednesday night in a helicopter crash.

The Daily Beast reported that Saak Albertovich Karapetyan was aboard an unauthorized helicopter flight, which crashed near the village of Vonyshevo, outside of Moscow.

Karapetyan was reportedly behind Veselnitskaya's global efforts to lobby lawmakers to overturn anti-corruption acts such as the U.S. Magnitsky Act, which passed in 2012. The U.S. legislation is similar to others around the world which commemorate Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer who died while trying to expose a $230 million fraud scheme in Russia. The acts have reportedly incensed Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Daily Beast reported that Karapetyan signed a letter sent on behalf of Russia's government to a U.S. court in 2014 refusing assistance into an investigation concerning Magnitsky's death. The letter was drafted reportedly with aid from Veselnitskaya.

Isn’t it interesting how they word that title. Yet dozens related to Clinton and the democrats have died in very mysterious ways, and we don’t get such headlines from the MSM.

And what ties did the lawyer in the Trump Tower meeting have with Hillary Clinton.

They had to get “Trump” into it. The Hill would never put “Clinton” into a headline. They will blame Vince Foster on Trump next.

This guy died more than a year ago in a hunting accident. His only link to any thing international is that he worked in the extradition divison within the Russian AG office.

Makes you wonder how close Vlad and Hillary really are. I suspect closer than people realize.

If anybody is unsure of how close they are, all they have to do is look into Vlad and Hillary’s Uranium One deal. That’s the one where Vlad gave 50 million dollars to The Clintonovich Foundation and Hillary gave Russia 20% of our Uranium reserves.

Which reminds me, why would Vlad want Trump to win when Trump was pushing for the Keystone XL Pipeline while Hillary was opposed to it seeing as how oil is Russia’s top income producer?

This was the family in charge of Apotex pharma up in Canada, remember. They were the ones providing the AIDS drug the Clinton Foundation was dispensing in Africa as part of their illegal human experimentation operation, remember.
