Windmill knight said:White House Aide Dismisses Claims of Collusion Between Trump Jr., Russian Lawyer
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201707101055410972-reports-no-collusion-trump-russia/
Discussions between President Donald Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and a Russian lawyer last year didn't involve presidential politics, White House aide Kellyanne Conway said in an interview on Monday.
"No information was gained, no action was taken, no follow-up whatsoever," Conway told Fox News, referring to the meeting.
Conway added that the mainstream media continues to spin its wheels in an attempt to find Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.
Talk about 'nothing burgers'! Trump Jr met a lawyer and - wait for it - she was RUSSIAN! They may or may not have discussed politics. The End. Now lets suggestively splatter that all over the media.
Come to think of it, I've got some friends who are German. We may or not have discussed politics. Does that mean I'm a nazi?
The one good thing about this ridiculousness is that I'm having a blast trolling CNN, Jen Psaki, the Guardian, etc on Twitter.
More information is leaking out on Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya.
Russian Lawyer Veselnitskaya Posted Picture on Facebook from inside John McCain’s Office (Photos - Tweets)

The Russian lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr. in Trump Tower also spent quite a bit of time in Washington DC.
In December 2015 she posted a photo on Facebook from inside Senator John McCain’s office.
Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya posted a pic from inside McCain’s office in Dec 2015 and posted it on her Facebook page.
Natalia Veselnitskaya also posted several anti-Trump posts on Facebook.
Natalia Veselnitskaya posted an anti-Trump article on her Facebook page 4 days before her meeting with Donald Trump Jr.
Veselnitskaya’s facebook page shows she was in New York City on the 10th and in Washington DC on June 14, 2016.
Veselnitskaya told NBC News on Monday she was not with the Kremlin as was reported by The New York Times.
She confirmed her meeting with Donald Trump Jr. was about Russian adoptions in the US.
The law firm where Veselnitskaya is listed as managing partner, Kamerton Consulting, is based in a Moscow suburb and does not even have a website.
A staff member at Kamerton told The Associated Press Veselnitskaya was unavailable for comment on Monday.
Her office in Moscow may be a shell. There is no working phone, email or website.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that the Kremlin is unaware of a meeting between Trump’s senior staff and Veselnitskaya and “does not know who that is.”
Peskov said, “No, we don’t know who that is and obviously we can’t monitor all meetings Russian lawyers hold both in Russia and abroad.”
Now this…
Natalia Veselnitskaya was sitting with Obama’s Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul during a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, 8 days after cold-contacting Trump Jr. in Trump Tower.
Here is another shot from the June 14, 2016 Congressional hearing on Russia and the Ukraine.
Following Kremlin denials that the 'Russian lawyer' that met with Trump Jr. was 'Kremlin-related', Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday it was preposterous that U.S. President Donald Trump's eldest son was blamed for the meeting.
"This Is Wild" Lavrov Mocks US Media Mania Over 'Russian Lawyer' & Trump Jr.

Hitting back against accusations of Russian meddling in the 206 U.S. elections, Reuters reports that Lavrov asked to be shown "at least one fact" proving Moscow tried to interfere with the democratic process.
"I learned with surprise that a Russian lawyer, a woman, is being blamed and Trump's son is being blamed for meeting. For me, this is wild," Lavrov told a joint news conference with his Belgian counterpart in Brussels.
"Because when any person speaks to a lawyer, what problem or threat could there be? I didn't know about this, I learned about it from television."
The emails released by Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday are seen by Trump critics as the most concrete evidence yet that Trump campaign officials welcomed Russian help to win the election. But Lavrov dismissed the media interest in the email release, saying:
"It's amazing that serious people are making a mountain out of a molehill."
Still when all you have is a hammer of division and blame, every headline looks like a nail...
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) formally introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump on Wednesday that accuses the president of obstructing justice during the federal investigation of Russia’s 2016 election interference.
House Democrat files article of impeachment against Trump (Video)

This is the first time a lawmaker has offered an impeachment article against Trump, and it comes as Democrats have debated whether it is politically wise to press the case for impeachment at this time.
A majority vote in the House, currently controlled by Republicans, is required to impeach a president. Republicans have a 46-seat advantage. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders slammed the move.
“I think that is utterly and completely ridiculous and a political game at its worst,” she told reporters Wednesday at an off-camera briefing.
In filing his impeachment article, Sherman argues that Trump’s abrupt firing of James Comey as FBI director in May amounts to obstructing justice and "high crimes and misdemeanors" amid the probes of whether Trump's campaign colluded with the Russian government to swing the election.
In the aftermath of BuzzFeed's release of the now-infamous "Trump Dossier," much time has been spent speculating exactly who paid for dirt on the Trump administration and who had the opportunity to take a sneak peak at the findings before the report was passed off to the FBI. Media reports have suggested that the "opposition research" was ordered by one of Trump's presidential primary competitors though that detail has never been officially confirmed.
British Lawsuit Raises New Questions Over John McCain's Involvement With The "Trump Dossier"
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-07-11/john-mccain-faces-questions-british-lawsuit-over-involvement-trump-dossier
That said, a name that continues to pop up every time the dossier is mentioned is that of Senator John McCain (R-AZ), a rather outspoken and unapologetic critic of President Trump.
As a recap, for those who have manged to avoid the head trauma of this particular narrative, the dossier in question was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele and his London firm, Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd. The intelligence produced amounted to a collection of uncorroborated reports gathered by Steele primarily from intelligence contacts he developed while working undercover in Moscow. Provocative details relating to Trump, hookers and 'golden showers' in Russian hotel rooms proved explosive when they were published by BuzzFeed on January 10th, but were quickly debunked as nothing more than 'fake news.'
But now, courtesy of a lawsuit filed by Aleksej Gubarev in the U.K., additional details are emerging which raise new questions about McCain's links to the dossier. As McClatchy notes today, according to a new court document filed in the British lawsuit, the counsel for Chris Steele repeatedly points to Senator McCain and a former State Department official as two of just a handful of people known to have had copies of the full document before it circulated among journalists and was ultimately published by BuzzFeed.
It's unclear exactly when McCain got his first look at the dossier and his staff has refused to provide additional comment beyond a statement released back in January. As a result, all we know for sure is that Steele finished his opposition research in October and Comey testified that he didn't get a copy of the dossier until January 6th. Precisely who saw what and when during that interim period still remains a mystery.
Two defamation lawsuits — one in the United States and a second in the U.K. — have been brought by lawyers for Aleksej Gubarev, a Cyprus-based Internet entrepreneur whom Steele’s Russian sources accused of cyber spying against the Democratic Party leadership.
Of course, with discovery still ongoing in both lawsuits, we suspect additional details on this narrative will continue to leak out slowly over time despite the best efforts of the mainstream media to conceal the fact that opposition research was being gathered, not just on the Clinton campaign, but on Trump as well.

Copyright Infringement Over Children’s Book

At least, that’s the accusation being made by a writer who is suing former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton for $150,000.
Christopher Kimberley filed a federal lawsuit in New York claiming Clinton and publisher Penguin Random House stole his book idea when they produced the children’s book ‘She Persisted.’
Clinton derived the idea for her book from the temper tantrum thrown on the Senate floor by Democrat Elizabeth Warren, which produced this quote from Mitch McConnell …
She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.
Liberals turned the last three words into a feminist rallying cry, and Clinton took the cue for her book.
Problem is, according to Kimberley, that the series of quotes used in the book are similar to a book he wrote in 2013.
Via the Daily Mail:
An author is suing Chelsea Clinton for ‘ripping off’ his idea to write her feminist children’s book ‘She Persisted’.
Christopher Janes Kimberley, 56, filed a federal lawsuit in New York against Chelsea Clinton, 37, and Penguin Random House accusing the former first daughter of copyright infringement.
Court documents obtained by DailyMail.com reveal Kimberley is seeking up to $150,000 in damages and any profits from the New York Times best seller.
Kimberley said he wrote an all-ages, three-volume illustrated children’s book ‘A Heart is the Part That Makes Boys And Girls Smart’ in 2013.
Kimberely claims that his book featured three quotes that were also featured in the book ‘She Persisted.’
“I did months of painstaking research on my book,” the writer told the New York Post. “Her version looks like a ninth-grade homework assignment.”
“I am in disbelief,” he said.
Um … they’re quotes. You’ll likely find them in numerous other books and/or collections.
Nevertheless, he insisted that the president of Penguin Young Readers US, Jennifer Loja, must have received the submission in 2013, read it, and then gave the idea to Clinton.
