Fusion GPS’ Glenn Simpson Dined With Russian Lawyer Before & After Her Meeting at Trump Tower

Transcripts released Wednesday by the Senate Judiciary Committee say that Glenn Simpson, the co-founder of Fusion GPS, had dinner with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya both the day before and the day after she met with Donald Trump, Jr. at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016.

Simpson had business dealings with Veselnitskaya, and that included a court hearing in New York on June 9, 2016. But Simpson said he did not know about the June 9, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower. He said the subject never came up at either of the dinners he had with Veselnitskaya on June 8 or 10, 2016; and he was “stunned” to learn about it later in The New York Times.

No wonder they closed up shop so quickly, they knew this would come out one day.

Well known, and totally ignored.

If this was The Sopranos, he would be getting wax sometime this season. Too bad Trump never had to probably interact with any mafia types in the New York construction business. Just a shame.

Note to Mueller: ask her to dinner, you’ll have a better shoot in getting an interview.

They keep forgetting to clarify that Fusion was on contract to the Russians. And DNC, simultaneously.

That would allow DNC, Russians, and DOJ to be in the same building at the same time without raising any suspicions. This was a three-way conspiracy.

Of course, Podesta (Clintons’ brain and fixer) was also contracted to the Russians, as well as business partners with them. And, of course, the Clintons were shoveling in money hand over fist from the Russians and their partners.

And Mueller and Comey were doing then what they are doing now, covering it up.

The threads just keep unraveling.

At this point those threads have unraveled enough that our body politic stands nekkid before US. Yet not one arrest, not one indictment and no one has gone to prison.
