Putin and the Russian government have been working to get US sanctions on Russia either ended or mitigated.

It could be that the Russian government leaked the information to ratchet up pressure on the Trump administration. Any one else notice that when the entire situation blew up on the Trumps, there were Russians popping up and furthering the dialog.

Also, remember that while the news was breaking and the Trump administration was on its third iteration of "the truth" about that meeting, Trump Advisor Sebastian Gorka called for returning the Russian compounds seized by the federal government, supposedly to 'improve relations' with Russia. Sounds more like an attempt to mollify Putin.

Makes one wonder what else the Russians might be holding over the head of the Trump presidency.
I have been thinking the same thing.

Putin is not Pro-Trump. He uses Trump and the current flare-up of our culture wars..to gain advantage. So far..I'd say it's working pretty good for Russia.
Yep and liberals are playing right into his hands.

I sincerely doubt the US Attorney would get involved in such a minor case, besides this has nothing to do with Trump Jr.

On January 6, 2016, Judge Thomas P. Griesa of the Southern District of New York heard arguments over Veselnitskaya's request to remain in the U.S. According to a court transcript, he asked the government's attorney, Paul Monteleoni, if the Justice Department would agree to grant a one-week extension of Veselnitskaya's immigration parole status. Monteleoni replied that he did not "have the final say but I will certainly pass the request along to those in the government who do, and I think for an extension of that length I'm optimistic."
It is unclear under whether the DOJ granted Veselnitskaya another extension to continue her work in the U.S., but records of the case make no further mention of an extension being granted beyond January 14, 2016.

Why did Obama's DOJ let Natalia Veselnitskaya into U.S.? - CBS News

You are the inheritors of this whole mess. Quit with the sound bite 140 character lives you are leading. That isn't what is happening to you. Your self absorption will be your own demise.
You're not very astute are you?

They don't seem to think logical.

Look, people should have realized the polls were bogus, in my view. CNN openly disclosed, over and over, that they were over-sampling Democrats in the polling. I mean HELLO! They were utterly fraudulently-conducted polls.

She wasn't going to win. America is sick of her and most Dems I know who did vote for her openly admitted holding their nose while they did so. What does that tell you?
And yet the polls got the result basically right. She wound up losing because of <80,000 votes in a few states.

I'm sure they have many more tricks up their sleeve. More to come......
