"Yes, Natalia was trying to reel in someone willing to sell out his own country to the Russians, in exchange for help rising to power.

She got Trump Jr, Manafort and Jared... and most likely Trump himself. Imagine if any of them had actually been honest men instead?"

"The other individual who was at the same meeting, was always looking at his phone. He was reading something. He never took any active part in the information. That was Mr. Manafort."

What did Trump Jr, Manafort or Jared do for her? Jared recognized her as a phony and after 10 minutes left the meeting.

On Apr. 27, 2018, Natalia admited she is a Russian informant - She had long insisted she is a private attorney, not a Russian operative trying to meddle in the presidential election. Natalia Veselnitskaya told the Senate Judiciary Committee in November that she worked only as a private lawyer, and she downplayed her ties to the Kremlin.
But according to The Times, Veselnitskaya told NBC News in an interview set to air Friday that she had been "actively communicating with the office of the Russian prosecutor general" since 2013. SHE LIED!

Veselnitskaya is believed to have attended the Trump Tower meeting as a representative of Yuri Chaika, Russia's prosecutor general who is closely tied to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Veselnitskaya sought to distance herself from Chaika at first, telling the Senate Judiciary Committee in November that she worked exclusively as a private lawyer and that her ties to the Russian government and Chaika were only in a professional capacity.

She charged the government $996 for her room at the Plaza Hotel!

But she contradicted her earlier statements in an interview with NBC News that aired on Friday.

"I am a lawyer, and I am an informant," she said. "Since 2013, I have been actively communicating with the office of the Russian prosecutor general."

It was Ms. Veselnitskaya’s desire to get the United States to reverse the Magnitsky Act that prompted her to seek a meeting with the Trump campaign, she said Saturday in written responses to questions from The New York Times.

Veselnitskaya was, and still is, after all, the poster child for Russian collusion, whose 20-minute meeting with Donald Trump, Jr. was to be the deathblow to the Trump administration. Yet, by her account, she has yet to be interviewed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller:

Veselnitskaya met with Donald Trump Jr., the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort in June 2016 after Trump Jr. was told she could provide potentially incriminating information about Hillary Clinton.

Interestingly, it was Manafort's home, hotel, and office that were raided at the behest of Mueller, whose team admitted in a court filing that the Veselnitskaya meeting was a motive for the Manafort raid:

A new court filing by Robert Mueller's Special Counsel confirms that Paul Manafort was raided by the FBI to look for documents relating to the Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 with Russian lobbyists, which was brokered by Donald Trump Jr. ...

According to the latest court filing by the Mueller inquiry, which is defending a warrant attached to a raid on Manafort's home in July 2017, part of what the FBI were hunting for were "communications, records, documents, and other files involving any of the attendees of the June 9, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower.

If Mueller was looking for dirt on that meeting, why hasn't he interviewed the reason for the meeting? Veselnitskaya has the idea that Mueller is not really working to get the truth about Russian collusion:

The apparent lack of interest shown by Mueller's team in her testimony could be a sign the special counsel is not eager to find out what happened, Veselnitskaya told the AP in the interview in downtown Moscow.

"If Mueller's team is not working to discover the truth, they will never question me," she said.

Veselnitskaya's said the Berlin interview also focused on information in memos compiled by a former British spy whose work was funded by the Democratic National Committee and Clinton's campaign. The dossier contains numerous allegations of Russian ties to Trump, his associates and the Trump campaign.

Veselnitskaya dismissed the dossier as "absolute nonsense."

In a bit of irony, the lawyer with whom Donald Trump, Jr. was allegedly colluding, Natalia Veselnitskaya, was allowed to be in this country by the Obama administration and its attorney general, Loretta Lynch. Natalia may have overstayed her visa and at the time of the meeting may have been, dare we say it, an illegal alien.

The Obama administration granted the Russian attorney who met with Donald Trump Jr. last June a special type of "parole" to be in the United States after she initially was denied a visa, Fox News has confirmed – though it remains unclear whether she had permission to be in the country when she attended the Trump Tower session.

Maybe the Obama administration and the Hillary Clinton campaign were colluding with the Russians to let her in and let her stay to set up Team Trump? Why was she allowed in the country? Why was she allowed to overstay her welcome or "parole"?

The fact that Veselnitskaya has not been interviewed seems to confirm that the meeting was a nothingburger, a failed attempt to set up Team Trump by the same Obama acolytes who arranged for the Steele dossier to be compiled and used by one political party, in collusion with Obama's FBI and DoJ, against another.
