The controversial June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between
Russians, Donald Trump Jr. and others was indeed about the Magnitsky Act, not
dishing dirt on Hillary Clinton, CNN reported.
Documents provided to CNN back Trump Jr.'s account — and that of
Jared Kushner — that the meeting was insignificant and a waste of their time.
An attorney for the Russian billionaire who requested the meeting
provided the documents to CNN, and suggested the mixup originated with the
publicist who brokered the meet and greet with Trump Jr., Kushner and other
members of President Donald Trump's campaign.
The attorney, Scott Balber, told CNN that the publicist, Rob
Goldstone, "probably exaggerated and maybe willfully contorted the facts
for the purpose of making the meeting interesting to the Trump people."
And the seeds of a Russia collusion story were born, CNN reported.
"The documents … are consistent with my client's
understanding of the purpose of the meeting which was from the beginning and at
all times thereafter about her efforts to launch a legislative review of the
Magnitsky Act," Balber told CNN.
Since this did not pan out for Muellar, I wonder what will be his next rabbit trail to waste money and time investigating!!!
