A Russian deputy attorney general who is thought to have directed attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya in her efforts abroad on behalf of Russia's government died Wednesday night in a helicopter crash.
The Daily Beast reports that Albertovich Karapetyan died Wedesday night in an unauthorized helicopter flight that ended in a crash near the village of Vonyshevo, northeast of Moscow.
Karapetyan was reportedly behind Veselnitskaya's global efforts to lobby lawmakers to overturn anti-corruption acts such as the U.S. Magnitsky Act, a law similar to others around the world passed in honor of Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer who died during the course of exposing a $230 million fraud scheme in Russia.
A letter sent on behalf of Russia's government to a U.S. court in 2014 refusing assistance into an investigation concerning Magnitsky's death was signed by Karapetyan, The Daily Beast reported, and was drafted reportedly with aid from Veselnitskaya.
Veselnitskaya would go on two years later to be involved in a meeting with Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort at Trump Tower under the presumption of Veselnitskaya presenting damaging information on Hillary Clinton, President Trump's 2016 opponent, to the Trump campaign.
Trump Jr. has maintained publicly that the meeting resulted in the knowledge that Veselnitskaya had no damaging information to offer, calling it a "waste of time."
Veselnitskaya, however, has said publicly that the two discussed the Magnitsky Act during the meeting, in which Trump Jr. allegedly pledged to look at the issue once Trump had assumed office.
“[I]f we come to power, we can return to this issue and think what to do about it. I understand our side may have messed up, but it'll take a long time to get to the bottom of it," she recalled Trump Jr. saying in an interview with Bloomberg News.
The meeting has come under intense scrutiny in the ongoing special counsel investigation headed by Robert Mueller, which is seeking to determine if members of the Trump campaign knowingly worked with Russian agents engaged in election interference during the 2016 campaign.
Trump Jr. and other members of the campaign and eventual Trump administration have repeatedly denied any collusion with Russia during the 2016 election.
Bump!
Probably taken out by our deep state. Likely ready to talk.
+1 to the Clinton Body count.

Kurennoy denied the regional administration’s claims that the helicopter had been on an unauthorized flight.
Russian Clinton assets, ya think?
Maybe the same guy who sat right seat in JFK Jr’s airplane when the potential NY Senate candidate (and HRC rival) took off for a relative’s wedding in the Cape with wife and sister-in-law in the back seats. And the same guy will put a small diameter third eye into Ron Brown over in the Balkans. Guess he also knows his rotary wings.
Was he already dead...just needed to be squished up a bit to conceal the real cause of death?
In Russia you don’t fly helicopter. Helicopter flies you.
In Russia?
Nobody knows nuthin....................
Yeah, I wondered about that.
They have Arkancide in Russia too?
“Albertovich Karapetyan died Wedesday night in an unauthorized helicopter flight that ended in a crash near the village of Vonyshevo, northeast of Moscow. “
The Clintons have taught the Russians well.
They are masters at it........................
Arkancide
Yes, but they call it “Volgacide.” :)
Arkadycide................
Or Ekaterinburgcide.
There you go.
