Politics Nothing to see here, just Sessions doing the Russians a solid

Members of the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday asking why the Department of Justice settled a major money-laundering case involving a real-estate company owned by the son of a powerful Russian government official whose lawyer met with Donald Trump Jr. last year.

Trump Jr., the president's eldest son, on Tuesday tweeted an email chain from June 2016 in which he entertained accepting damaging information from a "Russian government attorney" about Hillary Clinton as part of the Kremlin's support for his father's campaign.

That attorney, Natalia Veselnitskaya, represents the family of Pyotr Katsyv, the former vice governor of the Moscow region, whose son, Denis, owns the real-estate company Prevezon. The DOJ had been investigating whether Prevezon laundered millions of dollars through New York City real estate when the case was unexpectedly settled two days before going to trial in May.

"Last summer, Donald Trump Jr. met with a Kremlin-connected attorney in an attempt to obtain information 'that would incriminate Hillary,'" the Democrats wrote, citing the emails he published. "Earlier this year, on May 12, 2017, the Department of Justice made an abrupt decision to settle a money laundering case being handled by that same attorney in the Southern District of New York.

"We write with some concern that the two events may be connected — and that the Department may have settled the case at a loss for the United States in order to obscure the underlying facts."

The Prevezon case garnered high-profile attention, given its ties to a $230 million Russian tax-fraud scheme and the Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, whose suspicious death aroused international media attention and spurred the passage of the Magnitsky Act in 2012. Denis Katsyv and Veselnitskaya have become the face of Moscow's lobbying efforts against the Magnitsky Act in recent years.

"she embarked on a lobbying campaign last year that ensnared the president’s eldest son"



HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The evil bitch took advantage of the sweet naive boy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Is that the new spin you're pushing? Yes, poor junior, poor poor junior.

Oh yes, and Obama, this is all Obama's fault.



Let's review:

Bitches are evil.

This is all Obama's fault.

Poor Trump junior is just a innocent victim.


Whew, glad we cleared that up.

 

Nah, the kids on Mars are still there...sewing together pairs of Nikes by hand. Its a lot cheaper than China.

 

Its all rotten. Without mirrors in the house, JS could not move room to room.

 

I put the facts out there and that's all you have?

I don't think she "ensnared" anyone. She was documented as actively lobbying for exactly what Jr. says they talked about. That's no spin.

I'm not laughing with you...

 

The facts speak for themselves.

She was let in by Obama Administration. She lobbied at several public events about exactly what Jr says they discussed.

What Jr says is all there is to believe until PROVEN otherwise.

 

Like Obama in Iraq.

 

You didn't put out facts, you just posted a link to a biased article that now you're not agreeing with.

Proof?

None. I thought so.

 

This standard?

Here's the smoking gun, proving Trump campaign colluded with a foreign government to produce fake news and otherwise damage Clinton's candidacy.

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446

Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.

A Ukrainian-American operative who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.

The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort’s resignation and advancing the narrative that Trump’s campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine’s foe to the east, Russia.

 

The pictures in the article don't lie.

Spin that!
