April 27, 2018: The Russian Lady Who Met with Don Jr., Jared, and Paul Manafort Skips Out

 

4/27/18: President Twitter Thumbs is so excited he can’t wait to tap out the news! The Russian investigation is over. He’s cleared! 

According to the House Intelligence Committee, Trump never saw a Russian stroll into the Oval Office, never talked to Vladimir Putin about anything except the Cubs winning the World Series, and never had an inkling Russians were offering his son and son-in-law dirt to damage Hillary Clinton. 

The Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee has released its final report, which, to be honest, they could have written on an Etch-a-Sketch without doing any investigating whatsoever.



 

Trump tweets: 

Just Out: House Intelligence Committee Report released. “No evidence” that the Trump Campaign “colluded, coordinated or conspired with Russia.” Clinton Campaign paid for Opposition Research obtained from Russia- Wow! A total Witch Hunt! MUST END NOW!”

 

Sadly, for Trump, the free press continues to do what the free press does. Reporters keep digging.

New emails show that Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who met with Trump’s son, Trump’s son-in-law, and Trump’s campaign manager, promising to provide dirt to damage Hillary Clinton, was not just at the June 2016 meeting to talk about adoption. In an interview with Richard Engel of NBC News, she admits she has not been entirely truthful when she says that she “wasn’t an agent for anyone” when she showed up at Trump Tower two years ago. 

I am a lawyer, and I am an informant,” she says. “Since 2013, I have been actively communicating with the office of the Russian prosecutor general.” That makes her an informant for the Russian equivalent of our Attorney General. 

Hearing this news, the president immediately explains to a crowd at a rally in Michigan, as he preps to run again in 2020 by ignoring the job in 2018, that this proves he’s innocent of colluding with Russia! 

Here’s an actual sample of Trumpian logic. “I guarantee you, I’m tougher on Russia,” he tells cheering fans. 

In fact, have you heard about the lawyer? For a year, a woman lawyer, she was like, ‘Oh, I know nothing.’ ...Now all of a sudden she supposedly is involved with government. You know why? If she did that, because Putin and the groups said, ‘you know this Trump is killing us. Why don’t you say that you’re involved with government so that we could go and make their life in the United States even more chaotic.’ Look at what’s happened. Look at how these politicians have fallen for this junk. Russian collusion. Give me a break.”

 

This is interesting, because Trump helped draft a misleading statement in July 2017 about that meeting – after the “Fake News” folks revealed the meeting had been held. In that statement he claimed participants “primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children.” Now the Russian lawyer involved admits direct ties to Russia’s top law enforcement officer, meaning Russia’s government may have had a keen interest in doing damage to the Clinton campaign. 

This may come as a shock to many who love Donald J. Trump with a love beyond reason. It was always clear the “woman lawyer” in question was working for the Russian government. 

It’s just that for two years everybody in the Trump administration refused to admit it. 

(See: 7/10/17, for email exchange between Rob Goldstone and Don Jr, regarding Russian willingness to help Trump campaign.)


BLOGGER’S NOTE (June 2022): When last seen in these parts, Ms. Veselnitskaya was hopping aboard a plane bound for Moscow, once step ahead of arrest. She’s not coming back to this country ever. Unless maybe Donald Trump runs for election again.



Veselnitskaya was indicted, but skipped out before her arrest.
