Russian lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr. denies Kremlin connection

The Russian lawyer whose meeting last year with Donald Trump Jr. has renewed Democratic allegations of collusion is denying she had any Kremlin connection, despite a new report claiming President Trump’s eldest son was told in advance of the sit-down that the Russian government had material meant to help his father.

Natalia Veselnitskaya denied any connection to the Russian government in an interview with NBC News. Raising even more questions, she also denied having any damaging information about 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

“I never had any damaging or sensitive information about Hillary Clinton. It was never my intention to have that,” Veselnitskaya said.

Why?

There was no consideration advanced for the information.

Private citizens can do whatever they want. Public officials are subjected to restrictions because we don’t want them to be subjected to any kind of external influence.

There is nothing unusual about what transpired except for the fake news media and Democrats seeing Russians under every bed.

The real story here is that they still cannot bring themselves to acknowledge Trump won the election last year fair and square. The Russian collusion theory is a diversion from that fact.

"Rob Goldstone needs to be brought before congress and grilled about the emails he sent to Jr., why he said what he said and why he sent them. What was his intention and who was he working with."

Since Rob is a foreign national (in the UK), this might be facilitated via the Hague Service Convention or Hague Evidence Convention.

Trump jr may be innocent but this lawyer has a history. Her denial is ludricous.

I think a lot of people dont know the history of felix sater.

It may not be the first time the kremlin has tried to trap them

Btw...kushner has thrown JR under the bus. Its going to be interesting.

The guy who made the claim about eric and russian financing should get grilled under oath.

Russia has a way of roping you in before you know it...and then they have
you by the balls..its also a mafia technique

(The 35-page dossier claims that Russia is in possession of damaging or embarrassing information about Trump which could be used for purposes of blackmail to get Trump to cooperate with the Russian government.[2] The material includes allegations about Trump's sexual and financial dealings in Russia.[3] The dossier further alleges that Trump has been cultivated and supported by Russia for at least five years, with Putin's endorsement, with the overall aim of creating divisions between Western alliances; that has extensive ties to Russia; and that there had been multiple contacts between Russian officials and people working for Trump during the campaign.[2][4]

Just replace Trump's name with that of Hillary and Bill Clinton....now you have something closer to the truth.

They’re utter hypocrites. If Hillary won the election we wouldn’t hear one single solitary peep from them about the Russians. But because they lost, they would rather rip this country apart rather than admit the REAL reason they lost - because they picked a criminal psychopath who sat on her fat cankle supported ass her entire campaign in the delusional arrogant belief she would easily win and be “coronated”. I can only remember ONE Hillary rally and maybe two televised interviews with her for her ENTIRE campaign while Trump was out there every single day busting his butt, doing 2 or 3 sometimes even 4 rallies a DAY and doing countless interviews per DAY with no questions off limits. Liberals can go to hell with their BS, I am really sick to death of it. It’s like having this insane enemy cult making pretend they are a political party and I wish Trump would give a televised speech from the Oval office and say ENOUGH. Call these morons out and tell them to get their act together instead of constantly acting like a bunch of pre-schoolers.

Plus since when is it illegal for a US citizen to talk to someone from Russia or any country? Last year, Don Jr. was Joe Q. Public. Zero connection to Washington or the White house. Same with Donald Sr. He was just a guy who was running for President. Obama and his crew were running Washington, THEY were in the Oval office doing NOTHING about this Russian hacking they constantly are screaming about now. And if the left is so concerned about people communicating with Russians, what about Obama and Lurch making shady deals with IRAN? We still don't know what the hell went on over there. Or going to Cuba to kiss butt and pledge allegiance to Che Guevera? I would say that was a hell of a lot more disturbing that Don Jr. talking to a Russian girl for 20 minutes. This is so over the top and hypocritical it's unbelievable.

Rob Goldstone was also connected to McCain and the ‘Piss’ Dossier. It could not be more obvious that Fussion GP ( Hillary’s opposition research) and McCain were working with Obama’s team to spy on Trump’s team. That’s where the real scandal is.

If Clinton had won the Commie media would have praised Russia saying they are a democracy..remember the “Reset button” the media LOVED it..when Obama said he would be flexible with Russia not a peep..when Obama sent 250,00 of our tax dollars and hired goons to Israel to MEDDLE in their election(Because Obama despises Netanyahu) not a peep from the Commie media..so its A OK for US to meddle in other countries elections but they can’t meddle in ours..okie dokie
