| Homeland Security confirms special entry for Russian lawyer |
| 2017-07-15 |
| [The Hill] The Homeland Security Department confirmed Friday that Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya was granted special entry to the United States on multiple occasions in 2015 and 2016 at the request of the Justice Department. It also said Veselnitskaya eventually won a nonimmigrant work visa around the time she met President Trump’s eldest son in New York last summer. Skipping down a bit. Homeland’s statement confirmed court testimony and records cited by The Hill on Wednesday that Veselnitskaya was initially turned down for a visa to enter the United States and required the special immigration parole permission as late as January 2016. The court records did not indicate how she entered the country after that time. A federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan told the court in a hearing in January 2016 that the "extraordinary circumstances" parole request needed to be approved by Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

| #2 And how does this fit into a timeline where Trump didn't even declare he was running until June '15 and EVERYONE thought it was a joke until well into 2016? Are the Russians prescient or were they connected to someone else....perhaps the Dems? |

| #1 Strange isn't it? A meeting or meetings with U.S. political campaign personnel really doesn't seem to fit the stated purpose of the DoJ approved "extraordinary circumstances" parole request. Just to be on the safe side, one might suppose Veselnitskaya's communications and activities would have been monitored by DoJ and the FBI for counterintelligence purposes. A timeline of DoJ and FBI's knowledge of the Trump Jr. meeting might be informative. I believe the phrase 'evil empire' was first applied to the former Soviet Union in 1983 by then U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Encouraging to see the democrats (after 34 years) have become Reagan believers. If not believers, clandestine political exploiters. |
