Mystery solved? Timeline shows how Russian lawyer got into US for Trump Jr. meeting
Fox News ^ | July 14, 2017 | Brooke Singman

Posted on 07/14/2017 8:50:36 AM PDT by HokieMom

The Russian attorney whose campaign-season meeting with Donald Trump Jr. has caused headaches for the White House was cleared to enter the U.S. at the time of the visit by the Obama State Department, officials confirmed to Fox News late Thursday.

A brief timeline released overnight helps to resolve questions over how Natalia Veselnitskaya even had legal permission to be in the U.S. And it also shows multiple Obama agencies were involved on multiple occasions in granting access to the lawyer after she was initially denied a visa.

According to the timeline released by the Department of Homeland Security, the Obama Justice and Homeland Security departments granted her a special type of “parole” to be in the U.S. from September 2015 through February 2016 to work on a court case in New York. After that expired, according to DHS, the State Department issued her a B1/B2 non-immigrant visa in June 2016, according to DHS, just in time for her meeting with Trump Jr., Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Thanks for the link. Excellent explanation. Still a few holes, but certainly a trail to the rabbit hole.

It means the Obama Administration—especially the triumvirate of Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett and Loretta Lynch—were trying to sabotage the Trump campaign very actively.

Didn’t Putin already deny that she was working for Russia. He said he can’t keep up with every Russian lawyer that decides to meet with someone in the US.

Sounds to me like she was an agent for the democrats.

To put some perspective..Dana R was told by FBI that russia was trying to recruit him a few years ago. I did not know that

Wonder how many in congress have been recruited through blackmail...etc.

You expect him to admit it????????????

Lodi90 said it is common for oligarchs to try curry favor In order to continue..basically working for govt objectives.. Putin clearly wants to get rid of the Act that is hindering his money laundering. So this could have been one of those scenarios..such as specifics not sanctioned...done on spec.

A visa issued in June? How very convenient.

• McCain dossier - Fusion GPS
• Michael Cohen - Fusion GPS
• DTjr setup - Fusion GPS - now with special visa!

Fusion claimed Trump’s personal lawyer Cohen traveled to Prague to attend a clandestine meeting with Russian agents. Cohen produced his passport showing he had never been to Prague.

DTjr was setup as part of an ongoing smear campaign.

RayChuang88 :" It means the Obama Administration—especially the triumvirate of Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett and Loretta Lynch—were trying to sabotage the Trump campaign very actively."

" Accusations have arisen that the meeting was part of a wider setup to achieve a FISA warrant to wiretap phones of the Trump campaign during 2016.
President Trump himself has accused the FBI under Loretta Lynch of wiretapping his campaign."

Now, a former Trump campaign official reports that Paul Manafort’s phone was subject to FISA wiretap during the infamous meeting.

If true, this FISA warrant would have been carried out under Loretta Lynch, Attorney General to Barack Obama.
Former FBI Director James Comey has testified under oath to instances of collusion between AG Lynch and the Clinton campaign during 2016,
as well as obstruction of justice in the Clinton investigation.

In other words, the Obama administration interfered and meddled in the Presidential elections.

Supposedly, she was connected to the Russian government in the early 2000's, but she has not been in government for several years, now. Supposedly.

Breaking: AG Lynch Ordered Manafort’s Phone Tapped During Veselnitskaya Meeting
Medium / FR Posted by springwater13

Today, Fusion GPS employee Rinat Akhmetshin today confirmed his attendance at a meeting with Donald Trump Jr, Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner along with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

Accusations have arisen that the meeting was part of a wider setup to achieve a FISA warrant to wiretap phones of the Trump campaign during 2016. President Trump himself has accused the FBI under Loretta Lynch of wiretapping his campaign.

Now, a former Trump campaign official reports that Paul Manafort’s phone was subject to FISA wiretap during the infamous meeting.

If true, this FISA warrant would have been carried out under Loretta Lynch, Attorney General to Barack Obama.

She's no babe in the woods.....she's a practiced con artist. Veselnitskaya calculatedly wormed her way into the Trump milieu (through his son) to get the Magnitsky Act on the agenda of the next president of the USA.

She conned her way in ---- dangling a carrot------saying "she had dirt on Hillary."

It's really odd that she would use Hillary as a carrot on a stick-----that she figured there wasn't enough dirt on Hillary----that she had something more damaging than the mountain of dirt out there.

Comey testified that Lynch was basically carrying water for the Clinton campaign is the email “matter”.

It is not a big leap to assume Lynch was more active in assisting the Clinton campaign with intel gathered via intercepts and surveillance. Lynch could have been a priceless asset to Clinton if she got a FISA authoration to listen in on Trump campaign surrogates and staff.

POINTS TO PONDER----Reported elsewhere: the Guccifer 2 files have meta tags that can be shown were originally English, but were deliberately changed into Russian to make it look as if the files went through a Russian computer.

The most plausible theory is these Guccifer 2 leaks not necessarily were damaging but were leaked on purpose by the DNC with fake Russian meta tags so as to use as evidence before a wire tap judge to tap Trump.

Whomever tried the translation from English to Russian screwed-up several times....... and this is how they were outed.

==========================================

Trace all of it back to the Obama paranoia---if Hillary lost, all of them would have big Big problems.

REFERENCE---Then-Pres Obama and his minions started developing the “Russian hacked the election” narrative to give them cover for their blatantly illegal spying on the Trump campaign....... Obama spying on Trump started a year earlier. This is the stuff of third-rate banana republics. Susan Rice, and all concerned, including BO, should be in prison right this minute. (hat tip Junk Silver)

============================================

FROM ONE OF THE MANY EXPOSES---Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Obama-era Brennan at the CIA used phony foreign intel as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump.....that led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice's sifting operations....

Not only Brennan.... "Susan The Sifter" had a dog in this hunt......Hillary tapped her for Secy of State. One could conclude Comey also had his reasons .....to stay on as FBI director.

Mighty powerful incentives for anti-Trump shenanigans.

.......apparently there are records proving that Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens. An audiotape just released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow is part of a civil case........
