Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, the key player in a controversial meeting with Donald Trump Jr., in June of 2016, was granted entry into the United States by former president Obama’s Justice Department, despite not having a visa.
The Moscow lawyer’s initial visa application had been turned down, but according to a Hill report she “was granted special immigration parole by then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch.”

An interesting development to say the least.
Via the Hill:
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.
Later, a series of events between an intermediary for the attorney and the Trump campaign ultimately led to the controversy surrounding the president’s eldest son.

The U.S. attorney’s office in New York indicated Veselnitskaya was allowed in the country from October 2015 to early January 2016 due to a grant of immigration parole, something Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Monteleoni described as “a type of extraordinary permission to enter the country” during court proceedings in January.
“The government bypassed the normal visa process,” Monteleoni explained.
The question is, why?
TOLDJA!
It was Obama’s corrupt DOJ under Lynch that let Natalia Veselnitskaya into the country to set-up @DonaldJTrumpJr! pic.twitter.com/WCzl0DX0rw

Officials could not immediately explain why Veselnitskaya was still here in June when the meeting with Trump Jr., took place.
When asked if the meeting between the Russian lawyer had been a setup by opponents of Trump, including possibly Obama himself, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley wouldn’t comment.
But he didn’t dismiss the notion out of hand either.
“There’s no way I know that and I shouldn’t comment on things you don’t know,” he said.

Grassley said he contacted the State Department and Department of Homeland Security “to find out what she was doing in the country when presumably either her visa or parole expired.”
The Obama administration has some explaining to do.
The Russian conspiracy case seems to have turned back to the previous administration, and grows more curious by the day.

The Trump administration is trying to use anything to take attention from the Trump-Russia connection. When this Russian lawyer was allowed into the US, no one had any idea that this mess would occur.
I hope it continues to haunt him the rest of his presidency for the way he deliberately lied about and smeared Mrs. Clinton. Since he is not doing anything about our infrastructure, I hope he continues to go insane or is accused of a proven crime. I believed he would work on our infrastructure, but I am now disappointed and do not hold out any hope.
If one comes here without a visa, one does not need to worry about an expiration date. It’s cleaner than swimming across the Rio Grande River.
It clearly was a setup by the Dems/left. For all their money, the Trumps are clearly not ready for the sleezy goings-on of the Swamp. Hope it is a lesson learned. Remember, we are dealing with the Clintons/Soros group and they have deception down pat. I am amazed how everyone, including the Republicans, is turning a blind eye to the Clinton dealings that have gone on for decades! Hillary is like the Phoenix…she keeps rising from the ashes. GO AWAY HILLARY/BUBBA!!!
put this freak Obama before the courts…he new all along what he was doing…p.o.s.
Time to get them all, Did L.L break the law letting a RUSSIAN IN WITH OUT A VISA?????????
OBAMA SET UP
We have got to end the BS from the demoncrats. Let’s start investigating them, charging them, and prosecuting them.
The comments below are way out of line and absolutely stupid but what can one expect from libturds
HAHAHAHAHAHHA! Made up “news” from the irrelevant Political Insider.
“Rusty” the featured writer is pooping out his butt again and calling it “news”
Donald Jr fu*ked up… again!
hillary piss off.
Yet uninformed Americans will not find this information out for weeks while the Lame Stream Media reports on Trump Jr. 24/7
Veselnitskaya works for the same company as the creator of the bogus dossier on Trump, Fusion GPS. Why would Obama go out of his way to bring her into the country without a visa! Especially knowing that the purpose would be a bait & switch, bringing Trump in thinking he was getting dirt on HRC. But they’d have that meeting as proof that Don Jr. met with a “Russian agent” to collude in interfering with the election. I’d like to know what excuse Obama gave for granting entry?
Remember the Brazillian pageant queen who went to HRC rallies to throw dirt at Trump? Why isn’t that collusion? She lied about Trump…if not for Trump intervening with the pageant board, Miss Brazil would have been stripped of her crown. Worthy to note here is that she suddenly got into the country and MADE A CITIZEN before going on the rally circuit for HRC. That was a set up and collusion to thwart public opinion against Trump, thus interfering with the election.
Why is the GOP allowing this crap? We need replacements for them in the next election. If they can’t stand with the people, then the people won’t stand with them…replacing them with a better model!
When the hell is President Trump going to sign and executive order to have the entire upper echelon of the Obama Administration (Obama crime ring) investigated and all of their emails turned over to the justice department?
Never, because Trump and Company are NECK DEEP in their own collusion sh*t.
Trump didn’t drain the swamp… Trump increased the swamp with his own poop.
You are FIRED Donald Trump Jr!!!
Donald Trump Jr! — What a pushover. What a tool.
The DNC has refused to turn over their computers to have them investigated….why? What are they hiding?
The DNC is knee-deep in their own collusion dealings. Have we all forgotten that Hillary (Sydney Blumenthal) were the originators of the “birther” story against Obama? Hillary made the accusation that Trump’s people were working with Russia and the MSM ran with it! What is sad is that so many people believe this tripe!
