This story just gets more fantasmagorical!
NBC has broken the news that a “former” Russian Counter Intelligence Officer was in the meeting between Don, Jr, Manafort, Kushner and the Russian Lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya.
The fifth man whose identity has not been made public is described a Russian born U.S. citizen who is currently a lobbyist and former counter intelligence officer for Russia. Veselnitskaya, has confirmed she was “with someone” but refused to reveal the name of that person.
The reporter that revealed this information has personally interviewed the fifth man and has uncovered his name and ties to the Russian spy organization.
This stunning revelation comes on the conclusion of the Trump, Jr interview with Sean Hannity where Jr. stated that there was nothing else to the “story”— the “nothing burger” that took place in June of 2016.
The timeline for the Trumpshow is fascinating — the meeting with the lawyer and unknown intelligence agent happened hours prior to Trump Sr. announcing that he would have major dirt of Clinton within a “few days”— and the comments from Trump Jr’s emails that state that the news would be good for use in a few weeks — the timeline when the DNC emails started to appear.
Further adding to the cover up of the collusion, when Jared Kushner first filed for his security clearance in January, 2017, he didn’t disclose any meetings with Russian or other foreign agents (or the sanctioned VEB Bank. His excuse? His aide hit “send” before he had completed his forms.
Kushner stated he would amend his forms to include those contacts — which, as of mid April, he had not done.
He did not amend his forms until June 23, yet has JUST amended the forms yet again adding over 100 contacts he has had with foreign representatives.
According to the Times article, this latest form filed by Kushner included the meeting with Veselnitskaya at the Trump Tower.
This is just unfolding — will update as more information comes in — but the situation is growing more toxic by the minute.
Russian interference is now confirmed by one non-anonymous sourse — actually, two: Donald Trump Jr and Jared Kushner.
So much for that “witch-hunt” scenario!
When the Trump Clown Show loses Trey Gowdy, it would appear that the curtain will be coming down… sooner rather than later!
