The story goes like this…
In 2016, Rob Goldstone e-mailed Donald Trump Jr. – speaking on behalf of a mutual friend, Emin Agalarov – claiming to have incriminating evidence on Hillary Clinton and her dealings with Russia. After attempts at holding meetings via telephone that all fell through, Donald Trump Jr. learned Natalia Veselnitskaya landed in New York and decided to meet with her.
Natalia Veselnitskaya – who Trump Jr. knew wasn’t a government official going into the meeting – had no real dirt to share and shifted discussion toward repealing the Magnitsky Act. In short, as Trump Jr. put it:
“It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information… It became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that the claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meeting.”
Therefore, no harm, no foul. Don Jr. broke no laws or practices by meeting with Veselnitskaya – no matter how badly Democrats and liberals want to pretend he did. Meetings like these are typical – in fact, Clinton allies did the same thing as Trump Jr., but with Ukrainian connections instead of Russian ones. However, by leftist logic it’s likely colluding with Ukrainians is acceptable over associating with the big, bad Russian boogeyman. Plainly, outrage and furor cannot be this selective. If we’re calling Don Jr.’s meeting “treasonous“, Clinton’s Ukrainian collusion is, too!
Interestingly, Natalia Veselnitskaya is ardently anti-Trump as showcased in her Facebook posts…
For what reason would Veselnitskaya even want to hold a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. when she vehemently resisted his father’s run for President? For that answer, we simply have to delve a bit deeper into Veselnitskaya’s roots. In their article on her, Heavy lists Veselnitskaya as having represented Denis Katsyv, owner of Prevezon Holdings…
…and in a document found on Senator Chuck Grassley’s website, Prevezon and Fusion GPS are described as working together in an effort to “repeal the Magnitsky Act“…
What’s particularly interesting is that Fusion GPS is now known to be the source behind the totally false “Pissgate” dossier compiled by former British MI6 agent, Christopher Steele… so here, we have a solid link between Veselnitskaya’s prominent connections and Fusion GPS.
Oh, you still think Veselnitskaya isn’t a Democratic operative? Why else would she have former Democratic Rep. Ron Dellums on her payroll?
Radical left-wing icon former California Democratic Rep. Ron Dellums was a hired lobbyist for Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr. June 9, 2016, the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.
Dellums, who represented liberal San Francisco and Oakland, Calif., is a long-time darling of left-wing political activists. He served 13 terms in Congress as an African-American firebrand and proudly called himself a socialist. He retired in 1996.
Somehow, the worst is yet to come…
Veselnitskaya had an expired visa when she met with Donald Trump Jr., so she was not legally allowed to enter the US. She got in because… the Department of Justice, headed by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, expedited her entry to the U.S. under “extraordinary circumstances” after she had been turned down.
The Moscow lawyer had been turned down for a visa to enter the U.S. lawfully but then was granted special immigration parole by then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch for the limited purpose of helping a company owned by Russian businessman Denis Katsyv, her client, defend itself against a Justice Department asset forfeiture case in federal court in New York City.
During a court hearing in early January 2016 as Veselnitskaya’s permission to stay in the country was about to expire, federal prosecutors described how rare the grant of parole immigration was as Veselnitskaya pleaded for more time to remain in the United States.
“In October the government bypassed the normal visa process and gave a type of extraordinary permission to enter the country called immigration parole,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Monteleoni explained to the judge during a hearing Jan. 6, 2016.
“That’s a discretionary act that the statute allows the Attorney General to do in extraordinary circumstances. In this case, we did that so that Mr. Katsyv could testify. And we made the further accommodation of allowing his Russian lawyer into the country to assist,” he added.
The prosecutor said Justice was willing to allow the Russian lawyer to enter the United States again as the trial in the case approached so she could help prepare and attend the proceedings.
So Veselnitskaya’s entry was fast-tracked by the Obama administration for the “limited purpose” of defending her Russian client… but they just turned their heads when this ardently anti-Trump woman met with Trump’s son?
Still, mainstream media wants you to believe that this woman was an operative sent from the Kremlin, ignoring all her ties to Democrats and the Obama administration… not to mention the Obama administration flagrantly ignoring all the obvious violations of her terms of entry to the country.
Even worse, Veselnitskaya was brazen enough to commit violations of her terms of entry in plain sight to Obama officials themselves. Just five days after meeting with Don Jr., Veselnitskaya sat in on a hearing at the House Foreign Affairs Committee when Obama’s former Russian Ambassador, Michael McFaul, publicly discussed the “Russian hacking” conspiracy theory.
Why would Natalia Veselnitskaya want to meet with Trump Jr. when she despised his father’s bid for the Presidency?
Simple – it was a set-up.
The Establishment and Fake News media sat on and waited to deploy this carefully-orchestrated nothingburger from an anti-Trump Democratic political operative.
Conveniently, Veselnitskaya’s meeting with Trump Jr. dropped right after news broke that over half of James Comey’s memos on his meetings with Trump contained classified information!
Funny how that works, isn’t it? Please, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain; Russian-controlled Trump has finally been ousted!

Given the right set of circumstances (maybe a few drinks) I’d hit it!
CNN, most all media and all democrats have gone, all in, on Russia and Trump.
Just like Man Caused Global Warming has morphed into a simple climate change, this too has gone from Russia hacked our election, Russia colluded with Trump, Russia hacked the DNC, to Trump must have impeded an investigation to Jr had a meeting with Russian government officials.
This will morph into simply, Russia.
Fucking brain dead Maroon’s will keep sucking at the media water tube like the good little gerbils they are.
Insignificant little media turds are so butt hurt Trump ignores them, the only way to try and look important is to make shit out of nothing.
If Natalia couldn’t speak English, what was she listening to at that McFaul testimony?
Does it matter what all these liars say? Might as well not understand what they are saying.
Where are all of the previously unknown posters who’d opined on this issue a couple of days ago? You know – the ones who claimed that Don Jr even trying to investigate something that might arguably be called “a thing of value” means he – and by extension, his father – were guilty of treason? They’ve all vanished into the paid-troll woods.
It is all just plain BS. Congress is a kindergarten but with
a “Lord of the Flies” mentality.
These people in politics are so petty, greedy, power-hungry and conniving, it absolutely makes me sick to listen to them.
Reading about pissgate and it got me to wonder, if DTJ sought information from a Russian attorney to gain, value, and destroy clintons chances of a presidency is now claimed to be illegal, why isn’t the act to seek information to gain, value, from a former British government agent to destroy Trumps chance at a presidency also, illegal?
One is an attorney that happens to be Russian, one happens to be British that was once a government agent and still has ties to the government, or is one foreign government more foreign than the other?
I can tell this is a horse shit story by looking at the time-line development. Right after the John Bonifield from CNN admitted that everything is a hoax so far. The other side needed to react and they dug to find something… practically anything.
Worse thing is that the system is not changing, people are not living better, things are worsening and they are playing their little circus, blindfolded and refusing to accept the reality that America needs reforms.
