The Russian lawyer who penetrated Donald Trump’s inner circle was initially cleared into the United States by the Justice Department under “extraordinary circumstances” before she embarked on a lobbying campaign last year that ensnared the president’s eldest son, members of Congress, journalists and State Department officials, according to court and Justice Department documents and interviews.
This revelation means it was the Obama Justice Department that enabled the newest and most intriguing figure in the Russia-Trump investigation to enter the country without a visa.
"She is like the consigliere of a very prominent Russian family," said Bill Browder, a hedge fund manager who pushed for the sanctions.
She has a wide range of tasks, not just a lawyer as she's been described. She is an operator," he said.
He called Veselnitskaya a "formidable adversary," and said she wouldn't have been in the U.S. lobbying to overturn the Magnitsky Act without the Kremlin's blessing.
After Veselnitskaya's meeting with Donald Trump Jr. in June 2016, she went to Washington, organized a screening of an anti-Magnitsky film at the Newseum, and was in the first row at a congressional hearing on U.S. policy toward Russia.
The Justice Department settled that money laundering case against Veselnitskaya's client four months after Mr. Trump came into office. On Wednesday, House Democrats sent a letter asking the attorney general if that Kremlin-connected client got any special treatment.

I am reading some snip is about to break loose tomorrow. This could get good, or be another nothing burger, but usually what I get from this group is pretty reliable.
We will just have to see.
