This morning, NBC News reported that there was another person in that meeting with Don Jr, Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort. The news media has been caught up this morning with the fact that this man once worked for the old Soviet Union in counterintelligence.
That's not the big story.
This is the big story:
This man, Rinat Akhmetshin, was interviewed by the AP and stated that Natalia Veselnitskaya handed Don Jr a folder and suggested that the info could be useful against Hillary.
During the meeting, Akhmetshin said Veselnitskaya brought with her a plastic folder with printed-out documents that detailed what she believed was the flow of illicit funds to the Democratic National Committee. Veselnitskaya presented the contents of the documents to the Trump associates and suggested that making the information public could help the Trump campaign, he said.
“This could be a good issue to expose how the DNC is accepting bad money,” Akhmetshin recalled her saying.He took the folder -- there is no excuse left. His ex post facto explanation that the meeting was over the Magnitsky Act is shredded.
He willingly agreed to meet with someone he expected to be a Russian government representative offering classified documents from Russia. She handed him a folder and told him that it could be useful for his father's campaign.
HE TOOK THE FOLDER.
