Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, has requested information on why Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer, was allowed to enter the United States without a visa.
In a letter requesting the information from the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department, Grassley says that Veselnitskaya was granted a parole letter in 2015, after having initially been denied a visa, to participate in a court case in the United States.
The parole expired on Jan. 7, 2016, and a request for an extension was denied on Jan. 4, 2016.
However, Veselnitskaya was able to come into the United States, after requesting a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. through an intermediary promising damaging information on political opponent Hillary Clinton.
The meeting took place at the Trump Tower in New York on June 9, 2016.
Grassley is now asking how it was possible for Veselnitskaya to enter the United States for the meeting without a visa.
“This raises serious questions about whether the Obama administration authorized her to remain in the country, and if so, why?” Grassley said in a statement.
Trump Jr. said that he had accepted the meeting because he believed the potentially damaging information on a political opponent could be useful during the campaign.
He tweeted on July 10, “Obviously I’m the first person on a campaign to ever take a meeting to hear info about an opponent… went nowhere but had to listen.”
Lawyers for President Donald Trump have raised the possibility that the request for the meeting could have been part of a smear campaign against him, trying to tie him and his campaign to Russia.
“We have learned that the person who sought the meeting is associated with Fusion GPS, a firm which according to public reports was retained by Democratic operatives to develop opposition research on the president and which commissioned the phony Steele dossier,” Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Trump’s legal team, told Circa.
The “Steele dossier” is a report that is believed to have been funded by a Hillary Clinton backer and was spread widely among politicians and journalists with the intention of damaging Trump with information that has been widely debunked.
In the report, author Michael Steele, a former British intelligence agent, used primarily Russian sources linked to the Kremlin, such as senior Russian officials and intelligence officers.
As it was the beginnings of the Obama/Hillary BS narrative for a smear campaign if they lose or smear Trump later to exact revenge because he opposed the DC criminal Swamp Monsters, and/or they needed ruse(s) as justification for a FISA warrant to spy on Trump.
I vote for ruse.
Trump smuggled her in on his plane, in order to begin the collusion.
She was dressed like a stewardess.
MUHAHAHA, MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!
She is a Russian government asset. It would be career suicide for her to freelance on that big of an issue.
Yup. April Lorenzen. The 4chan kids have been all over this all day.
“This raises serious questions about whether the Obama administration authorized her to remain in the country, and if so, why?”
Question kind of answers itself.
This was a setup from the start, Russia and Putin are colluding to effect our election, just he is working with the Democrats.
It was still in the period of ‘The Great ObamaNation’s’ open borders.
What would she look like in a swimsuit? Just askin’.
The professional politicians left to right conspired to give Hillry Clinton keys to our White House...
President Trump needs to start playing hardball with these Democrats. He needs to get all his people together and once and for all put this Russia BS to bed. Ask each and every one of them if they ever talked to a Russian during the campaign and make sure that all is out. He needs to move ahead on this.
Probably not as good as she would look dining with me in a snowbound dacha. Wearing a fur coat and her eyes sparkling in the dancing lights of the candelabra.
GOPe is fretting about their vacation condos and their flight connections.
GOPe is worthless spit.
And the s.o.b. RINOS, McCain, Linda, Thom Tillis, Burr, the list goes on.
I doubt they want to.
I believe Trump needs to send a lawyer over to Hillary and tell her if this Russia crap doesn’t cease, she, bill, chelsea, their buddy soros, and several news organizations will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for espionage, various felonies, racketeering and corruption, and any thing else that comes to mind. Then see how long before CNN starts leading with a traffic accident in Atlanta.
