LONDON The Moscow lawyer said to have promised Donald Trumps presidential campaign dirt on his Democratic opponent worked more closely with senior Russian government officials than she previously let on, according to documents reviewed by The Associated Press.
Scores of emails, transcripts and legal documents paint a portrait of Natalia Veselnitskaya as a well-connected attorney who served as a ghostwriter for top Russian government lawyers and received assistance from senior Interior Ministry personnel in a case involving a key client.
The data was obtained through Russian opposition figure Mikhail Khodorkovskys London-based investigative unit, the Dossier Center , that is compiling profiles of Russians it accuses of benefiting from corruption. The data was later shared with journalists at the AP, the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger , Greek news website Inside Story and elsewhere .

(11,884 posts)Its shows intent to conspire , and that Jr lied to Congress, and trumps claim its a hoax and witch hunt was all lies all along. It shows he tried to cover it all up, and many others helping him do it. It makes no difference where this girl , this lawyer is, they are in so much trouble from conspiring against our country , its now with all the others talking to Mueller, a very good chance now they have him and others for treason against this country, and criminally conspiring to do it , and to cover it up , and obstructing against it being exposed against them. Even many in this administration will be scared from this, and many in Congress now also, and that's not including trumps CFO now set to appear before a grand jury, more exposure he's a career criminal , and with long standing ties to putin and russia. Its caving in NOW on all of them , even in on members in Congress. No matter what trump does he's exposed for promoting lies to cover it all up with. If anyone wants to see what he's doing just google Joseph Goebbels quotes, it'll open your eyes from his same tactics he's been using to promote himself with propaganda. trump also looks sick like something is wrong , he and putin both looked unwell at the treason summit. I still think he never took any test evaluating his mental state , and it also was all staged because he had dirt against the doctor. I don't believe any thing put out from this administration as being true seeing everything they've corrupted. The trump meltdown is happening now for all to see. trump is almost done now, and it'll get a lot worse until he's actually out of office.
