I've seen conflicting stories on what type of visa she had for the Trump Tower visit. Not that this makes a great deal of difference. I recently read a report the probationary visa was issued in Dec 2015 and expired in Mar 2016. She then obtained a standard business visa for the Trump Tower visit. This would have been highly unusual according to the report.
Also, I know that we are all fed up with the glacial pace of things, and we DO have to face the fact that, people in the Obama administration who are culpable in this may never be taken to task, even though they should be. And we also probably have to face up to the fact that all the people who SHOULD get nailed on all this...simply won't. And that isn't good. But...SOME people are going to be nailed. it is illuminating to see this Trump Tower meeting in the light of what it actually was: a set up meeting where one side said they wanted to meet to discuss dirt on Clinton so that it would lay the groundwork to later say "LOOK! THE TRUMP TEAM WAS COLLUDING THERE!"
It might have been sufficient, if they had been able to dig up any other information on Trump which they were unable to do, and I believe that made them even more desperate, even frantic enough to send Halper into Papadopoulous' orbit on September 13, 2016 to outright ASK him: “George, you know about hacking the emails from Russia, right?”
Anyway, they thought they would have so much damning information, nobody would spend much time looking at the meeting with Trump Jr. on May 10, 2016 at Trump Towers.
The problem for them was...their wells kept coming up dry as the election approached, and when Trump won, they knew they were screwed, because it was all going to come out, particularly when the unsung hero (and possible unwitting accomplice) Admiral Michael Flynn made his fateful trip on November 17, 2016 to speak to the incoming President-Elect and his staff, to tell them they were being surveilled. (Trump moved his team out of Trump Towers in the next day or two to a different location due to their knowledge of the surveillance.)
And that was all of them...Strozk, Lisa Page, Brennan, McCabe, Comey, Priestap, Lynch, Clinton, Abedin, and yes...Obama too (even if he may never be called to account, this stain of sewage is going to splash on him as well) knew that the spying issue was not going to go quietly into the night.
So, in light of that, many people began looking at the contacts, and looking at that Trump Jr. meeting at Trump Towers on June 9, 2016, it highlighted to any sane person just what an obvious setup this is (my post yesterday):
You mean the meeting with the Russian Lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya who,
according to The Washington Post had dinner with GPS founder Glenn Simpson both the day before and the day after she met with Donald Trump, Jr. at Trump Tower.
That one?
The meeting that was kicked off with this email from Ron Goldstone, the American agent for the Agalarovs? "...Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting. The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father. This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump - helped along by Aras and Emin..."(This was an excerpt from the email)
The same lawyer (as reported by the New York Times on April 27th, 2018) who has repeatedly said she was acting on her own — huddled with Vladimir Putin’s prosecutor general, Yuri Y. Chaika, in the months before the meeting?
The same lawyer who was banned from entering the USA had her travel-banned visa approved in a highly unusual process called "immigration parole" by DHS and the State Department (under Hillary Clinton)
That EXACT same lawyer who, in her own words (again, as reported by the New York Times on April 27th, 2018 said: “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.”
The meeting where Anatoli Samachornov, the interpreter had contractual ties to the State Department under Hillary Clinton?
Could be coincidence. That same meeting?
The same meeting where the Russian lawyer brought along a Russian named Rinat Akhmetshin, a former Soviet counterintelligence officer who has ties ongoing ties with Russian Intelligence?
The meeting where an American citizen Ike Kaveladze (who worked for the two Russian pop star Emin Agalarov and his father, Aras Agalarov (a Russian oligarch with direct ties to Vladimir Putin) who asked their agent Ron Goldstone to set up the meeting) ostensibly wanted to be at the meeting as an interpreter for the Russian Lawyer Veselnitskaya only to find he wasn't needed because "she brought her own (Samachornov) who had this most curious statement (from the apparently recorded transcripts of the meeting): "...Mr. Trump asked if they got anything on Hilary, and to which Mr. Akhmetshin responded, "Why don't you do your own research on her? We gave you the idea..."
And then nothing (apart from that statement was discussed above by Mr. Kaveladze) was discussed except for the statement above. They Russian side with the lawyer said they were going to talk about dirt on Hillary, but ended up saying absolutely nothing about that, and said they only came to talk about the Magnitsky act and child adoption processes, which Trump Jr. said wasn't even on the agenda.
Any normal person should read that paragraph and say "Hm." as in "Things that make you go "Hm"."
This goes on and on. Only an idiot would see this as anything other than a blatant setup. It was good that Trump Jr. released all the correspondence and details of the meeting. The agreement to the meeting was dumb, but as President Trump himself said (and I paraphrase just a little) "this is politics. If someone told us they had dirt on someone, we would take a meeting like that) so when it became clear, Trump Jr. immediately released the details. That saved much heartache later.
MUELLER HAS NOT INTERVIEWED HER!!!
Pay CLOSE attention to the people Mueller DOESN'T talk to!!!
