Former Soviet Counter Intelligence Officer at Meeting With Donald Trump Jr. and Russian Lawyer

WASHINGTON — The Russian lawyer who met with the Trump team after a promise of compromising material on Hillary Clinton was accompanied by a Russian-American lobbyist — a former Soviet counter intelligence officer who is suspected by some U.S. officials of having ongoing ties to Russian intelligence, NBC News has learned.

NBC News is not naming the lobbyist, who denies any current ties to Russian spy agencies. He accompanied the lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, to the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower attended by Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort.

The Russian-born American lobbyist served in the Soviet military and emigrated to the U.S., where he holds dual citizenship.

Veselnitskaya acknowledged to NBC News that she was accompanied by at least one other man, though she declined to identify him.

The presence at the meeting of a Russian-American with suspected intelligence ties is likely to be of interest to special counsel Robert Mueller and the House and Senate panels investigating the Russian election interference campaign.

...Alan Futerfas, the attorney retained by Donald Trump Jr., confirmed he has spoken to the individual.

"It’s very simple,” Futerfas said. "The person was described as a friend of Emin [Agalarov]’s and maybe as a friend of Natalia [Veselnitskaya]’s.”

...Futerfas said he has talked with that individual who came to the meeting with Veselnitskaya. "He is a U.S. citizen. He told me specifically he was not working for the Russian government, and in fact laughed when I asked him that question.”

Futerfas confirmed that, “for the purpose of security or otherwise, the names were reviewed” but said Trump Jr. knew nothing about the man's background at the time of the meeting.

When asked about whether he had concerns, knowing what he knows now, Futerfas responded: “I have absolutely no concerns about what was said in that meeting.”

^^^ That's the Trump campaign's digital director, who is under suspicion by investigators for possibly showing Russia where to target the right voters, especially in the rust belt areas like Michigan, Wisconsin, etc.

Haha I'm unaware of Russians guyz. Ok yeah sure. These people are the dumbest people.

So Kusher's excuse for having to amend his forms to include those 100+ people is that his lawyers accidentally hit send prematurely, like it's a email, and not, you know, this

I guess technically they could have printed it out as a PDF and then forget to fill it out completely and then sent it prematurely but whew that's a big mess up.

Why do they even bother with the lie stories? We all know they'll end up at "so what, I did it but Hillary" or whatever.

The Chicago Tribune , which first reported Mr. Smith’s cause of death on Thursday, said a pile of documents and a statement that police called a suicide note were found with his body. The note said that Mr. Smith had been ill and that he held a life-insurance policy that was due to expire, the Tribune reported.

Mr. Smith apologized in the note and said that “no foul play whatsoever” had occurred with his death, according to the Tribune.

I don't always leave suicide notes, but when I do, I prefer to insist that there was no foul play involved

It's pretty annoying that The right is already spinning this as "Hillary killed him" when it seems more likely to be the other way around.

My Onion: Trump went on to FIRMLY press him about foul play a 2nd time, but (almost) quickly realized he would have to accept Patrick's first denial.

He was not.

This is so weird.

Trump:“One of the things with the wall is you need transparency. You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can’t see through that wall – so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what’s on the other side of the wall.

“And I’ll give you an example. As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them – they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over. As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs.”

Also probably not a good idea to admit to cheating on your insurance policy imo.

I think instead of straight transparent, they should make the wall one of those augmented reality dealies so that when you look across to the US side, everybody looks really attractive and has $100 bills sticking out of their pocket.

I hadn't understood why these guys needed this particular skill set until now.

Isn't it going to be a little tricky to make transparent solar panels to make the wall out of? Maybe microbet can chime in but the opacity of solar panels is a pretty major feature no? I mean they've got "the best people" on it so I'm sure they'll figure it out.
