You Won’t Believe Who Employed The “Former Soviet Counterintelligence Official” In Trump Meeting
RedState ^ | July 14. 2017 | Staff

Posted on 07/14/2017 8:46:07 PM PDT by bobsunshine

Yesterday, NBC News ran a breathless and, as it turned out, dishonest story about a “former Soviet counterintelligence official” who was also in the now-famous meeting with Donald Trump, Jr. and Natalia Veselnitskaya, the lawyer who was banned from entering the United States but to whom, for some reason, the Obama Justice Department granted a special permission just in time for the meeting with Trump, Jr....

There is a problem with this story. Rinat Akhmetshin works for/with Fusion GPS. Take this March 31 letter from Senator Charles Grassley to then-acting deputy attorney general Dana Boente–that’s right March 31:

It is particularly disturbing that Mr. Akhmetshin and Fusion GPS were working together on this pro-Russia lobbying effort in 2016 in light of Mr. Akhmetshin’s history and reputation. Mr. Akhmetshin is a Russian immigrant to the U.S. who has admitted having been a “Soviet counterintelligence officer.”[14] In fact, it has been reported that he worked for the GRU and allegedly specializes in “active measures campaigns,”

We have to understand; this will not end. The media, the Dems and their allies are not going to stop until they can force Trump from office and they don’t give a damn about the impacts on the country and its people. If we had more people on our side other than Hannity, Rush, Savage, and Senator Grassley, I would be less concerned. But this embittered bunch, including the execrable McCain, will never get over losing an election they thought they had in the bag. Trump’s administration has to take offense - but we don’t hear a peep from AG Sessions, who should appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Clinton emails and the thieving uranium sales.

The MSM is destroying itself over their hatred of Trump.

Decent, good, honest Americans are witnessing this everyday and we have very long memories AND we LOVE to vote. The pain and oh so deserved suffering has just begun for the democrat party. They’d better pray that President Trump isn’t half as vindictive as they think he is.

I pretty much agree with you .. time to take offense .. or else risk not getting a 2nd term. I think that would be disastrous for the country.

But, the latest deaths associated with the Clintons does make people pause and wonder if they really want to dig very deep into the Clinton Crime Family (and I firmly believe that’s exactly what the deaths were supposed to convey). These two most recent deaths are very suspicious .. but nobody seems to be concerned about it .. shocking ..!!!

“Looks like Fusion GPS needs a visit from DOJ.”

If only we didn’t have a scared church mouse Attorney General.

Liberal may be the wrong word since all propaganda narratives lead to the same deep state masters.

The obvious reason for this fellow is that Natalia spoke little English. He was a translator.

Putin is making his moves. Note how the Russian lawyer threw Obama under the bus... Obama is Putin’s fall guy puppet, but the media will not even evoke that.

but wait, there’s more!

here’s the original complaint, dated 15 July, 2016, that Grassley is referencing. Quite an interesting lineup of characters:

https://www.grassley.senate.gov/sites/default/files/judiciary/upload/Russia%2C%2003-31-17%2C%20Magnitsky%20Act%20-%202016-%2007-15%20HCM%20Complaint%20to%20FARA%20%28003%29_Redacted.pdf

and here’s some more on the Fusion players:

and, last but certainly not least, McCain makes a cameo appearance:

This is so clearly Democrat/Deep State dirty tricks set up over a year ago. Who knows what other bogus booby traps they have planted, but it irks me when anyone, including Trump, claims that the Russia thing was merely invented after Hillary lost to explain and cover for the loss.

The opposition was working on taking down Trump with this narrative long before the loss.

Enemies foreign, enemies domestic. Riddles, wrapped in mysteries, inside enigmas, perpetuated by deceivers. Connect the collectivists.

Entrapment, Contrived Collusion and Fake News. This is more evidence establishment politicians like Jeb! and Hilliary and major U.S. political parties have way TOO much staff, spending money, and free time on their hands. Corrupt bass turds.
