Lawyer Who Was Said to Have Dirt on Clinton Had Closer Ties to Kremlin Than She Let On
The New York Times ^ | 04/27/2018 | Andrew E. Kramer and Sharon LaFraniere

MOSCOW — The Russian lawyer who met with Trump campaign officials in Trump Tower in June 2016 on the premise that she would deliver damaging information about Hillary Clinton has long insisted she is a private attorney, not a Kremlin operative trying to meddle in the presidential election.

But newly released emails show that in at least one instance two years earlier, the lawyer, Natalia V. Veselnitskaya, worked hand in glove with Russia’s chief legal office to thwart a Justice Department civil fraud case against a well-connected Russian firm.

Ms. Veselnitskaya also appears to have recanted her earlier denials of Russian government ties. During an interview to be broadcast Friday by NBC News, she acknowledged that she was not merely a private lawyer but a source of information for a top Kremlin official, Yuri Y. Chaika, the prosecutor general.

“I am a lawyer, and I am an informant,” she said. “Since 2013, I have been actively communicating with the office of the Russian prosecutor general.”

So much of this “news” for the past 2 years is fabricated by “agencies” pushing a globalist agenda. They are in cahoots.

Rush Limbaugh was discussing the notion the “pee-pee tape” this week and more speculation that Trump stayed overnight in Russia and if so “where”.

Wasn’t the allegation that the women were peeing on a bed that Barack Obama had slept in? Shouldn’t that very bed be identifiable as to where the President of the United States (at the time) had stayed?

Their libelous “dossier” is bullstalin and the stories don’t hold water.

Comeystain says that he shared the salacious details with Donald Trump because it would be horrible if the story got out and it could be used to blackmail him. Yet the story did get out, without evidence (other than the fabricated tales by supposed impartial government agencies) and it hasn’t sunken his presidency.

Veselnitskaya hired Ron Dellums as a lobbyist, didn’t she? Dellums was in cahoots with the Cubans back in the 1980s as they weere building the airfield in Grenada for Russian bombers, etc.
