Curiousor and Curiousor – Natalia Veselnitskaya Pictured With Obama Officals in DC on June 14th, 2016…
2017-07-13
[ConservativeTreehouse] At the heart of the current media Russian narrative du jour is a story about Donald Trump Jr. meeting with a Russian attorney named Natalia Veselnitskaya. That meeting took place on June 9th 2016 in Trump Tower.

Now it is discovered via video and images, that only 5 days later, June 14th 2016, Ms. Veselnitskaya was a guest of former Obama administration Russian Ambassador Michael McFaul in Washington DC for a House of Representatives hearing on U.S. Policy Toward Putin's Russia.

Ms. Natalia Veselnitskaya is pictured seated in the front row directly behind former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Mr. Michael McFaul at the House Foreign Affairs Committee. This is June 14th, 2016, five days after the reported meeting with Donald Trump Jr.

It should be noted that Ambassador McFaul was very publicly discussing the ’Muh Russia’ conspiracy narrative in the media and appeared on numerous NBC and MSNBC broadcasts during the 2016 campaign, and immediately after the election.

Additionally, it was Michael McFaul who was the architect of the Obama/Clinton "Russian Reset", that eventually led McFaul to becoming the Ambassador to Russia (NYT Link).

Ambassador Michael McFaul immediately caused quite a bit of controversy while in Russia as he indulged with various anti-Putin operatives.

Michael McFaul, the U.S. ambassador in Moscow from 2012-2014, was accused by Russian state television of seeking to orchestrate the overthrow of President Vladimir Putin after hosting opposition activists and Kremlin critics at the embassy in his second day on the job.
Courtesy of Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, The Black Sphere adds:
Trump Jr. thought he was dealing with a legitimate Russian lawyer on legit business. However, the law firm where Veselnitskaya supposedly practices doesn’t have a website. One would think any of the major media would have noted Veselnitskaya’s office at Kamerton Consulting doesn’t even have a working phone.

The Kremlin claims no knowledge of Veselnitskaya. And according to Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin has no knowledge of any meeting between Veselnitskaya and Trump Jr.

Peskov added,

"No, we don’t know who that is and obviously we can’t monitor all meetings Russian lawyers hold both in Russia and abroad."

So who is Natalia Veselnitskaya?
DOJ certainly knew who Veselnitskaya was. I suspect the Klingon's knew exactly who she was as well.
And from Bright Pebbles:
Natalia Veselnitskaya CONFIRMED to be anti-Trump. Pictured in rally protesting the President. She didn't want to help Don Jr, she wanted to harm him.

[Reddit] A repeated sentiment in the comment thread:When they hatched this plan, they didn't account for 1000's of autists digging the internet. This will not end well, she better stay away from gyms.

#6  Obama's Ambo to Russia McFaul orchestrated a Putin overthrow? Will the Dems be asking for an investigation of Obama? I didn't think so.

All this stuff coming at Trump from the left is just "chaff" (strips of metal foil or metal filings released from aircraft, to obstruct or confuse radar detection or tracking missiles.)" It is meant to keep him too busy to go after the criminality and corruption of the last admin.

#5  'Sturdy Peasant Stock' indeed. Anna Chapman's lead on Maxim appears safe.

Ceremony to hand top state honors to Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) employee Natalia Veselnitskaya pending.

#2  I'll go out on a limb here, but I suspect Ms. Veselnitskaya should see to it that her affairs are in order.
