    Exactly what many of us have been pointing out ever since we learned of the remarkable "coincidences" surrounding Veselnitskaya, and her presence here at that time, starting with Loretta Lynch allowing the Kremlin-linked , Russian operative into the country, AGAINST THE WISHES OF THE NSA, citing "special circumstances".

    It is becoming increasingly clear that those "special circumstances" were to SET UP the meeting to try to falsely link then-candidate Trump to Russia :



    2016 Trump Tower Meeting Looks Increasingly Like a Setup by Russian and Clinton Operatives
    Evidence suggests the infamous Trump Tower meeting with Russians was a giant set up to disparage the Trump campaign



    The June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between high-ranking members of the Republican presidential campaign staff and a Russian lawyer with Kremlin ties remains the cornerstone of claims that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election.

    A growing body of evidence, however, indicates that the meeting may have been a setup — part of a broad effort to tarnish the Trump campaign involving Hillary Clinton operatives employed by Kremlin-linked figures and Department of Justice officials. This view, that the real collusion may have taken place among those who arranged the meeting rather than the Trump officials who agreed to attend it, is supported by two disparate lines of evidence pulled together for the first time here: newly released records and a pattern of efforts to connect the Trump campaign to Russia.

    The first line of evidence includes emails, texts, and memos recently turned over to Congress by the Department of Justice. They show how closely senior Justice Department officials and the Federal Bureau of Investigation worked with employees of Fusion GPS, a Washington-based research firm reportedly paid $1 million by Clinton operatives to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign.

    They reveal that then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, the fourth-highest-ranking official at DOJ, coordinated before, during and after the election with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, who did work for the Clinton campaign and Russians; and former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, who was employed by Simpson.

    The second line of evidence reframing the Trump Tower meeting — after the Ohr-Steele-Simpson correspondence – was first reported in June by RealClearInvestigations. It shows that, starting in March 2016, FBI confidential sources and other figures associated with Western intelligence services and the Clinton campaign approached the Trump team promising damaging information on Clinton. The Trump Tower meeting appears to have been the most successful of these approaches since it was the one instance where the Trump campaign signaled it was willing to receive incriminating information on its opponent.

    These two strands of evidence – the DOJ’s collaboration with Clinton-paid researchers and efforts to connect the Trump campaign to Russia – came together in midtown Manhattan on June 9, 2016, at Trump Tower.

    At the center of it all was Fusion GPS, which had two clients whose interests were served by the Trump Tower meeting: the Russians and the Clinton campaign.
    Even though no evidence has emerged from the meeting of any dark conspiracy, appearances were evidently enough. In sworn Senate testimony last year, Simpson claimed the meeting corroborated one of the key claims made in the reports filed by Fusion GPS contractor Steele: “Trump and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals.”


    Nonetheless, Simpson also testified that he had no knowledge of the meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and others until it was reported a year later. There is reason to doubt that account.

    In fact, the Russian lawyer at the center of the meeting, Natalia Veselnitskaya, was his client.

    She has publicly stated that she used talking points developed by Simpson for the Russian government in that discussion. Kremlin officials also posted the allegations on the Prosecutor General’s website and shared them with visiting U.S. congressional delegations.


    Although the Trump campaign agreed to meet Veselnitskaya to receive dirt on Clinton, she succeeded in turning the meeting’s focus instead to the Magnitsky Act and Browder – including Simpson-generated claims accusing Browder of tax evasion and embezzlement. Citing her public acknowledgment, Browder told RealClearInvestigations, “It seems to me that Simpson wrote the talking points about me that Veselnitskaya used in her meeting with Donald Trump Jr.”

    Although Browder was unaware of the Trump Tower meeting, he was so concerned about Fusion GPS’s work on behalf of Russian interests that in July 2016, he lodged a complaint with the DOJ against both Simpson and Akhmetshin, for failing to properly register as foreign agents while working for the Russian government.

    Instead of raising red flags, Browder’s concerns appear to have been ignored.

    So your defense is that Trump and his team are incredibly, mind bogglingly stupid. That doesn't appear to be new information.

    How so? No skin off their noses to accept freely "opposition research", as opposed to the continued trail of corruption from the Russian-o-crats.

    So, your "defense" is, "we successfully set them up under fraudulent circumstances, as part of the entire illegal election conspiracy-turned-sedition"?


    As always, the left DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE CRIMES COMMITTED BY THEIR LEADERS...JUST THAT THEY GET AWAY WITH THEM. PERIOD.

    Yeah. Same old, tired, bullshit left deflection, when more proof of what really went on in 2016 is exposed...coupled with your absolutely reliable TOTAL FAILURE to even ADDRESS, much less, REFUTE, a syllable of what I posted.

    Agreed. FUSION GPS, hired by the DNC/HILLARY CAMPAIGN, and facilitated by the Obama Adm. were/are Russian operatives...exactly what the OP makes clear.

    Clearly part of it.

    Your call.


    As always as the mountain of evidence of what really went on in 2016 GROWS, the left's lameass "conspiracy theory" talking point is all they can muster.

    I don't see you disputing the premise facts. Only trying to deflect away from them by dragging Deep State affiliation into the equation.

    How very telling and instructive.

    This looks more and more like a deliberate falsehood. Whom does it serve?

    So tRUmp is still the blameless loudest whining victim here again? Does he not surround himself with the best people?
    BTW, this is a blogger/op ed and should be in the pol opinion forum or conspiracy forum.

    That doesn't change Loretta Lynch and her actions, however.

    Sara Carter is a famous reporter, who is known for her work as a senior national security correspondent for Circa News, among many other media outlets. Since her time on the air, many have grown interested to learn more about the Fox News contributor. Take a look at our Sara Carter wiki for all you need to know.

    Sara Carter has carved a path for herself in the field of reporting. She is a thespian who studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. However, instead of going down the artistic road, Carter pursued her passion for journalism and is now a big name in the news world.

    Carter is the daughter of a Cuban immigrant mother and her father was a United States Marine veteran, who served in two wars. Carter has three sisters; one of whom (Monique L. Griffith) attended the University of Nevada, Reno.

    Her Work Led to Her Winning Several Awards
    At the Washington D.C. SPJ Awards, her work on Afghan women and children addicted to opium won her first place.

    Carter received her first National Headliner Awards for “Jamie’s Story,” which follows a child who was born into the Mexican mafia in Southern California.

    In 2006, she was awarded the second National Headliner for Beyond Borders, a multi-part series. The project emphasized on investigations about national security concerns and immigration along the Southwest border.

    In fact, she was awarded the 2006 Eugene Katz Award from the Center for Immigration Studies for her detailed investigation on immigration.

    That same year, she received the California Newspaper Publisher’s Association Freedom of Information Act Award for her story about millions of federal dollars squandered by local school districts.

    In 2008, Sara Carter won the Society of Professional Journalists nationally recognized Sigma Delta Chi award for a multi-part series that disclosed the harshness of the Gulf and Sinaloa Cartel war.....snip~

    To bad Sara Carter isn't known for creating deliberate falsehoods. Or for just making **** up. She is actually one of the top rated investigative journalists out there.

    You will need a better excuse than this one.

    Last ditch cry of every criminal who has ever been convicted, “I was set up!”

    Whatever.

    Trump and Hillary were both toxic candidates. Anyone who voted for either should be ashamed.

    If the meeting was legal and they didn’t get anything, how exactly is it a set up?
    And why would Hillary work with Russia to harm her own campaign? She secretly wanted trump to win? Lol

    Anyone suggesting this meeting was a Russian and or Chinese set up for Clinton needs to be investigation under the provisions of the 1917 Sedition Act. Think it through. Putin says he wanted Clinton defeated. The Russians were not working on behalf of Clinton.
