looking at veselnitskaya's comments, the lawyer, basically what she's saying is it's all about bill browdere american behind the magnitsky act and that entire a fir affair and th translator was saying none of that stuff with russian government complicit and all of this, but again, i find it extremely difficult to believe that somebody in that room, one of the russians in that room did not have the responsibility that at the very least report back to the russian government and more likely was briefed beforehand. it probably wasn't the translator. the translator was more than likely simply the translator, but there were others in that room who probably had a much better idea as to what the kremlin hoped to accomplish about the meeting. it's an american citizen, a former state department employee who does a lot of this work now as a private contractor. that's what we know. shimon to you, it is don junior admitting very clearly in this q and a, one of the clearer things from him, not an i don't know or i can't remember, but yes, he went into this meeting fully intending to get dirt on hillary c
