Yes, there is that, and also the fact that any SMART attorney does not want his/her reputation tied to this corrupt client. Kinda like the attorneys who represent mafia heads. Attorneys also want cases they feel they can win, and anyone with a shred of intelligence knows this one is going down in flames.

That's right Trumpers, all those Russian operatives and spies were all conspiring with Trump's team for the sake of Russian adoptions.

If you believe that line of bull please have a guardian appointed to represent your interests because you are apparently too incompetent too handle your own affairs.
Wow!

Except when it was Veselnitskaya, herself.

"...in an interview with NBC News earlier this week, Veselnitskaya acknowledged her contacts with Trump Jr. and in Washington were part of a lobbying campaign to get members of Congress and American political figures to see "the real circumstances behind the Magnitsky Act.â€

Well, there IS also the corroborating evidence of the FARA complaint filed against Veselnitskaya for lobbying Congress and the State Department on behalf of Russia, Putin, and Russian investors to repeal the Magnitsky Act.

How is that corroborating evidence? That means nothing. If it was all so innocent as you allege, then why all the lies and deceit?

No, it's meaningful. Veselnitskaya herself admitted on NBC News that the purpose of the Trump Jr meeting and her other activities in Washington was to lobby for the repeal of the Magnitsky Act. And similarly, a FARA complaint was filed against her for lobbying Congress and the State Department on behalf of Russia, Putin, and Russian investors to repeal the Magnitsky Act.

I was asked to post a link to this ridiculous interview where Sekelow said Trump was under investigations, said he wasn't under investigation, then got testy with Wallace and said he would have no way of knowing if Trump was under investigation. I think Wallace speaks for a lot of us when he said, Well, this is weird."

I think this is the interview.

This appears to be a different interview but equally ridiculous.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.1c42daeb3886

This guy is as ridiculous as that "doctor" of Trump.

Is there some reason to believe Veselnitskaya is an accurate historian?
