In a letter addressed to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, (https://democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrats.judiciary.house.gov/files/documents/7.12.17%20LETTER%20AG%20SESSIONS%20-%20WE%20WANT%20ANSWERS%20ON%20FRAUD%20SETTLEMENT%2 C%20MEETING%20AT%20TRUMP%20TOWER.pdf) 17 Democratic members of Congress wanted to know why the AG suddenly settled a money laundering case in May involving Russian tax fraud that just so happened to involve the Russian attorney now in the center of the news cycle.
As Foreign Policy noted, (http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/07/12/doj-settled-massive-russian-fraud-case-involving-lawyer-who-met-with-trump-jr/?utm_content=buffer3063a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer) not only did the DOJ settle the case two days before it went to trial.
And the settlement was only for $6 million, not the $230 million sought.
And in an even more interesting twist, former US Attorney Preet Bharara was the one who filed the case.
Bharara was fired in March by the president after being promised he could keep his job during the transition.
Veselnitskaya has spent quite a bit of effort attempting to get the Magnitsky Act (http://www.mediaite.com/online/what-is-the-magnitsky-act-and-why-does-russia-hate-it-so-much/) reversed.
The act is tied to the tax fraud scheme at the center of this case and has levied sanctions against Russians involved.

Crooked Hillary! :lol
V's undoubted offer to Trash Jr, Tushner, Manafort:
kill the Magnitsky Act (when Trash wins) and I'll give you shit to hurt Hillary and the Dems.
