[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why she was allowed into the U.S. is explained by the Washington Post:

Veselnitskaya represented Prevezon, which had been sued by the U.S. attorney in New York’s Southern District in a money-laundering case. It was while she was in that role that she also became an outspoken advocate for lifting economic sanctions imposed by Congress against Russia for human rights violations.

Veselnitskaya’s visa for U.S. entry was denied, but she received special permission — in what is known as a “parole letter” — to come to New York specifically to defend Prevezon and Katsyv. She said in a court statement, however, that when she tried to reenter the United States, she was detained at London’s Heathrow Airport and “unjustifiably subjected to a strip search, for no apparent reason.” She eventually received permission to come to the United States to continue her work for Prevezon.

That set the stage for Veselnitskaya to be in New York City in June 2016, where a hearing related to Prevezon case was being held in federal court. (Prevezon paid $6 million to settle the case in May; Reuters reported that Prevezon said it was a victory because no guilt was declared and the amount was far less than initially sought by the U.S. government.) While Veselnitskaya was in the city, she had an opportunity to try to get her message against the Magnitsky Act to the Trump campaign.

The meeting was arranged by a publicist named Rob Goldstone, who wrote to Donald Trump Jr. that he could arrange a meeting with “the Russian government attorney” who could convey “information that incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.” Trump Jr. responded that “if it’s what you say I love it.”[/quote]

Then this lawyer violated her "parole letter" by conducting other business in the US. Why didn't Obama do anything about that? Still no answers about who granted the special permission. What circumstance changed over the initial denial?[/quote]

You cannot be human.  Because no human could possibly be this stupid.  [/quote]

Senator Grassley is not human? He asked these questions to DHS secretary in a letter.

The visa for her appearing in court was denied initially. The question is what changes led to a special waiver granted.[/quote]

I remember the Prevezon case.  People were mad that the settlement figure was low, but the government was happy because they just wanted to put a stop to the activity.  I'm not surprised that the government catered to Prevezon to give them their desired lawyer for this extraordinary case.  [/quote]

It was settled after Preet Bharara was fired.

Connect the dots.[/quote]

House Democrats want more info on why this was settled and for so little:
