It ALWAYS seemed that he knew of the meeting and in advance and what was supposed to be the result of the meeting.
1). Veselnitskaya is a lawyer
2). She has connections to the Russian legal system
3). She's worked closely with Russian government officials
4). Veselnitskaya is Petyr (and Denis) Katsyv's lawyer
5). She seems to be involved in the Federal prosecution of Bill Browder
6). She set up the Human Rights Accountability Global Initiative Foundation, or HRAGI which is devoted to overturning the adoption ban
7). She was wooing the Families for Russian and Ukrainian Adoption Including Neighboring Countries, or FRUA to get behind her effort to overturn the Magnitsky Act.
Bill Browder owed a shit ton of taxes on the massive profits her made in Russia... didn't pay... never planned on paying his taxes and fled the fucking country before he could face prosecution for his tax evasion. There is a federal case against Bill Browder. By all appearances... Natalia Veselnitskaya is working on this case... the case is quite complex with many moving parts so Veselnitskaya would be working closely with ALL SORTS of Russian Justice Department officials as well as other government employees.
She has done work as an "informer"... or "intelligencer" for the Prosecutor General - one who makes a practice especially for a financial reward of
informing against others for violations of penal laws.
Not quite the "Kremlin informant" label that was put on her... but instead some sort of legal snitch that has "informed" for the Ministry of Justice. Possibly more closely related to the American FBI which provides informants to the U.S. Justice Department for the prosecution of federal cases. The FBI does counter-Intelligence though... I haven't seen any evidence that she works for the Investigative Committee of Russia and seems to 100% legitimately work in the criminal justice system.
Her story about the Magnitsky Act, adoptions and Bill Browder is all legit.
What I
HAVEN'T seen is any evidence that she was involved in any way as an agent of espionage.
Rob Goldstone is the individual responsible for the "she's going to give us dirt on Hillary" bullshit. Veselnitskaya never represented the meeting as such...
Basically Rob Goldstone is responsible for the "dirt on Hillary" canard... THERE WAS NO DIRT.
Natalia was in the U.S. to register the Human Rights Accountability Global Initiative Foundation which was dedicated to overturning the adoption ban. She was also in the U.S. to screen a film about the Magnitsky Act... meet with FUSION GPS and settle a money laundering case involving her client Petyr Katsyv's son Denis... she attended some hearings... updated her facebook account... she had fun in the U.S. The U.S. Justice Department paid her expenses while in the U.S.
You'd fucking think Obama's Justice Department under Loretta Lynch would be smart enough
not to bend the rules and get a FSB agent a VISA... and NOT BE DUMB ENOUGH TO PAY HER EXPENSES while she was visiting the U.S.
