Breitbart ^ | 5/29/2018 | aaron klein

NEW YORK — In recently released testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, a key participant at the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with President Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. said that he “knows” Hillary Clinton and has a personal relationship with her that dates back to the late-1990s. Besides describing a direct connection to Clinton, Russian-born Washington lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin also testified that he “knew some people who worked on” Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Akhmetshin was one of the participants at the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting that has been the subject of much news media coverage related to unsubstantiated and collapsing claims of collusion with Russia. All meeting participants generally agree the confab focused largely on the Magnitsky Act, which sanctions Russian officials accused of involvement in the death of a Russian tax accountant, as well as talk about a Russian tax evasion scheme and alleged connections to the Democratic National Committee.

Trump Jr. previously explained that he took the meeting thinking it was about “opposition research” on Hillary Clinton and was disappointed that it was

“.……..surely there’s no man alive that would have sex with her!”

I have no comment on that, but I can’t imagine spending even 5 minutes speaking with this unimaginative, unethical, uninteresting narcissistic woman. I don’t think anyone is a loser, and generally hate that term, but she is an individual who has had a huge number of opportunities in life to do good things for others, and squandered them while she pursued a fruitless and ultimately unsuccessful mission to imprint herself in history. Sad.

Now it has emerged that in his testimony, Akhmetshin related a personal connection to Clinton via attorney Ed Lieberman, whose late wife Evelyn previously served as Clinton’s chief of staff when she was First Lady. Evelyn Lieberman also served as Bill Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, and famously transferred Monica Lewinsky out of the White House to the Defense Department. Akhmetshin said that he first met Ed Lieberman in the fall of 1998, when Lieberman “was attorney for my first employer here in” Washington, DC.

well let’s not forget the DNC darling, Comrade Dellums, that was chaperoning Miss Russia around to various congresscritters’ and Fusion offices. Not that you would learn that from the press, who have determined to keep his name out of print and association.

18 July 2016: Politico: From Russia, with love?
By ISAAC ARNSDORF
The group is a six-month-old Delaware corporation called the Human Rights Accountability Global Initiative Foundation, and the new lobbyist is Rinat Akhmetshin, who appears occasionally in lobbying records but is known in foreign policy circles as a key pro-Russian operator. He was seen in House offices this summer accompanied by former Rep. Ron Dellums (D-Calif.), who also registered for the mysterious adoption advocacy group. Dellums, reached by phone, denied involvement with the group.
