Podcast appearances and mentions of Natalia Veselnitskaya

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin serve up a veritable smörgåsbord of newsy delights today. Belly-up to some KITM: George Santos Devolver Zebrowski is at it again. Meet Kitara Ravache, Brazilian drag queen, the very avocation by which Nazi/MAGA/right-thinking Americans lately find themselves aroused into fury.  George might lie and embezzle occasionally, but he'd never admit to that. Ron DeSantis and Christopher Rufo are happy to attack any institution. Win or lose, at least they are out there trying to be hurtful. Wherever Republicans are in charge, cruelty is always the point. And so, there's now the “debt ceiling fight”, in which the US fights to avoid it, and the Gop aims for it.  They aren't called “Republicans” in Israel, but it's still understood that governing isn't on the agenda. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is just so tired of the Covidiots, she's getting out. Recurring villain Natalia Veselnitskaya resurfaces in Swiss court, winning one for the bad guys. Back in the states, either idiots or terrorists are still shooting up power substations. Why can't they be both?  A New York state Senate Committee rejected Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul's nominee, Hector D. LaSalle, for chief judge, and on the day David left his copy of the New York State Constitution in his other pair of pants, too. Sam Bankman-Fried gave money to every internet journalist outside of Glenn Greenwald apparently. Semafor returns their check.

Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer best known in the United States for lobbying against the Magnitsky Act. According to the New York Times, in Moscow she is regarded as a "trusted insider" who has argued cases for government agencies and high-profile clients including Pyotr Katsyv, an official in the state-owned Russian Railways, and his son Denis, whom she defended against a money laundering charge in New York. She has also been an informant in active communication with Yury Chaika, the Russian prosecutor general, since 2013. Starting in 2014, she had worked with Fusion GPS, the firm that was later hired to do opposition research on Trump, to investigate an unrelated money-laundering case involving Prevezon Holding, and the "dirt" she brought with her to the meeting stemmed from that work. The work on the Prevezon case, and later on the dossier, were completely separate, and Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that they were unaware that Veselnitskaya would meet with Trump campaign members or share anything from the Prevezon case with them. Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian-American lobbyist and former Soviet counterintelligence officer suspected of "having ongoing ties to Russian Intelligence", although he denies it. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he immigrated to the United States in 1993 and became a U.S. citizen in 2009. According to the New York Times, Akhmetshin has “a history of working for close allies of President Vladimir V. Putin.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Tower_meeting President Trump may have been involved with a change to the Republican Party campaign platform last year that watered down support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine, according to new information from someone who was involved. Diana Denman, a Republican delegate who supported arming U.S. allies in Ukraine, has told people that Trump aide J.D. Gordon said at the Republican Convention in 2016 that Trump directed him to support weakening that position in the official platform. https://www.npr.org/2017/12/04/568310790/2016-rnc-delegate-trump-directed-change-to-party-platform-on-ukraine-support This an an audio narration of the Mueller Report Summary of Volume 1.

Hedge fund manager and author Alex Krainer has written one of the definitive books about the Magnitsky Act and the narrative that has been sold by Bill Browder. Krainer joins Garland and Lee on today's show to discuss the ultimate purpose of the Magnitsky Act and why Browder has been successful in manipulating how western media reports on this story.Following up on their conversation with Alex Krainer, the hosts are joined by investigative journalist Lucy Komisar to talk more about the facts of the Magnitsky affair and what she has learned during her time investigating the story and the words/actions of Bill Browder. Who actually uncovered fraud in the Magnitsky case, and why haven't more journalists gone to the original documents to understand the truth of the Magnitsky case? We are now over a week into 2019, and many people have already slipped up with their New Years Resolutions. Annette Bosworth aka Dr. Boz returns to Fault Lines to give her top tips for starting the New Year off right which includes taking small incremental steps towards improvement rather than trying to do too much at a time.For the final segment, John F. O'Donnell, a political correspondent with the show Redacted Tonight, joins Garland and Lee to discuss the state of comedy and how the industry has changed in recent years.

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan discuss the circumstances behind the "obstruction of justice" charge recently filed against Natalia Veselnitskaya in US Federal Court. What are the details surrounding this charge, and is this a politically motivated indictment related to the "Russiagate" probe?Guests:Susan Pai - Immigration Attorney | What did Trump ACTUALLY Say in his Oval Office Address?Jim Kunstler - Author, Public Speaker, and Social Critic | The Evolving US Economy & The Circus on Capitol HillKani Xulam - Commentator on the History and Politics of Kurdistan | What do the Kurds REALLY Think About a US Pullout from Syria?Last night, President Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office about the ongoing government shutdown and his hopes for the construction of a wall on America's southern border. Immigration attorney Susan Pai joins Garland and Lee on today's show to break down Trump's remarks and how it will impact the shutdown battle in Washington DC moving forward.The US economy is constantly evolving, and this has brought financial hardship to several industries and communities across the country. Author and social critic Jim Kunstler joins Fault Lines to discuss how this process will continue to reshape the American economy in the coming years and to talk about why he refers to the current situation in DC as a circus where things are regularly done just for show and political purposes.For the final segment, Garland and Lee are joined by Kani Xulam, a commentator about Kurdish politics, for a conversation about the US withdrawal of forces from Syria and the impact it will have on the Middle East.

Benjamin Wittes talks to Jaimie Nawaday, a former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, to discuss the indictment of Natalia Veselnitskaya over alleged obstruction of justice in a case Nawaday handled. Nawaday talks about Russian abuse of the American justice system and how Veselnitskaya colluded with the Russian chief prosecutor's office to frustrate American prosecutors.

President Trump will address the nation Tuesday night about the situation at the US-Mexico border. Trump tweeted out that it is "Humanitarian and National Security crisis." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer will deliver the Democratic response to Trump's speech. They are demanding equal time to challenge Trump's claim that there is a national security crisis along the border. The government shutdown is in its 18th day. Will the president use his executive power to get funding for his wall?The Russian lawyer involved in the infamous Trump Tower meeting in 2016 is being indicted in a separate case. Federal prosecutors in New York are charging Natalia Veselnitskaya [vessel-nit-SKY-ah] with obstruction of justice. She allegedly attempted to prevent an investigation into money laundering that involved an influential Russian businessman and his investment firm. Veselnitskaya was present at the meeting with Trump campaign officials in Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign. The Trump Tower meeting included Donald Trump Jr., then-campaign chief Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law. But, there are some serious holes in this story. The New York Times reports, “The money-laundering case was not directly related to the Trump Tower meeting. But a federal indictment returned in Manhattan seemed to confirm that Ms. Veselnitskaya had deep ties to senior Russian government officials and rekindled questions about whether the Kremlin tried to use her as an intermediary to Donald J. Trump's campaign.” The Magnitsky Act is a bipartisan bill passed by the US Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in December 2012, intending to punish Russian officials responsible for the death of Russian tax accountant Sergei Magnitsky in a Moscow prison in 2009. Since 2016, the bill, which applies globally, authorizes the US government to sanction those it sees as human rights offenders, freezing their assets and banning them from entering the US. If the Russian response stating that Magnitsky and other persons defrauded the Russian Treasury is, in fact, true, wouldn't that mean that the basis of the Magnitsky act is wrong?The Trump administration is attempting to end temporary protected status — known as TPS — for over 50,000 Haitians living in the US. Tens of thousands of Haitians were given TPS after an earthquake devastated their country in 2010. In November 2017, the Trump administration announced it would revoke TPS for Haitians. The move was met with protests and multiple lawsuits, and is now being challenged in court. In October, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump effort, which also affects immigrants from Sudan, El Salvador and Nicaragua, citing a “discriminatory” motivation. Haitian TPS recipients and their supporters are expected to rally this morning outside the Brooklyn courthouse where the suit is being argued.News that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is visiting China is reinforcing rumors that Kim will meet Trump, possibly in Vietnam, in the near future, for a critical second summit. China remains North Korea's closest ally, extending a cross-border economic lifeline to the cash-strapped and heavily sanctioned state, and China has called for economic sanctions on North Korea to be eased. The timing of Kim's trip to China could be highly significant, potentially suggesting an imminent summit with Trump. In 2018, Kim met Xi for discussions prior to his first summits with both South Korean President Moon Jae In in April and with Trump in June. While no date for the second Kim-Trump summit has yet been set, nor has a location been decided, South Korean daily the Munhwa Ilbo reported Monday that the meeting could take place in Hanoi.GUESTS:Ray Baker — Political analyst and host of the podcast Public Agenda.Caleb Maupin — Journalist and political analyst who focuses his coverage on US foreign policy and the global system of monopoly capitalism and imperialism.Dahoud Andre — Haitian activist who works with the Free Haiti Movement.Lee Stranahan — Co-host of Fault Lines on Sputnik Radio.

With the partial government shutdown nearing its third week and no end in sight, Trump says he is willing to take the unusual action. Immigrant rights advocates, on the other hand, say that there is absolutely no reasonable argument that the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border constitutes a national crisis. Will the Trump administration get away with this massive expansion of executive authority? Tuesday’s weekly series is False Profits—A Weekly Look at Wall Street and Corporate Capitalism with Daniel Sankey. Financial policy analyst Daniel Sankey joins the show. News broke today that prosecutors in New York charged Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya with obstruction of justice. But a closer look at the indictment reveals that U.S. authorities charger her essentially for corresponding with Russian prosecutors to advocate for her client, the corporation Prevezon. Nevertheless, the indictment is now being cited as evidence that Veselnitskaya is an agent of the Russian government, and was acting as such when she participated in the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting prior to the election. Brian and John speak with Jim Kavanagh, the editor of thepolemicist.net, and Lee Stranahan, co-host of the Radio Sputnik show Fault Lines. Today is the start of a new regular segment that will air every Tuesday called Women & Society with Dr. Hannah Dickinson.

Dr. Gönül Tol, the founding director of The Middle East Institute’s Center for Turkish Studies and former professor who has taught courses on Islamist movements in Western Europe, Turkey, world politics, and the Middle East, joins the show.The French government will take new measures to deter violence against police and damage to property as it seeks to corral the Yellow Vest movement after another weekend of mass protest. More than 50,000 people demonstrated over the weekend, with some of the marches turning violent. The Macron government is taking full advantage of the opportunity to clamp down on dissent. Brian and John speak with Gilbert Mercier, editor in chief of News Junkie Post and the author of “The Orwellian Empire.”

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Hyun Lee, a member of the Solidarity Committee for Democracy and Peace in Korea and writer for Zoominkorea.org, and Dr. Christine Hong, Associate Professor of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz and a member of the Korea Policy Institute. Following large-scale military exercises and threatening statements from National Security Advisor John Bolton, North Korea has announced the cancellation of an Inter-Korean meeting between officials from the North and South. Will the peace process still move forward?Wednesday is Loud & Clear’s regular segment Beyond Nuclear, looking at nuclear issues including weapons, energy, waste, and the future of nuclear technology in the United States.

Countries around the world have condemned the Israeli response to Palestinian demonstrations, and that criticism has moved into the United Nations. Brian and John speak with Ambassador Manuel Hassassian, the Palestinian Ambassador to the UK. The Senate Intelligence Committee today voted 10-5 to send the nomination of Gina HAspel to be CIA director to the floor for a final vote. All eight Republicans and two Democrats voted yes on Haspel, who now has enough votes to guarantee confirmation. That final vote will likely take place in the next 48 hours. Jeremy Varon, a professor at the New School in New York and an anti-torture activist, joins the show. Testimony from the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the Trump Tower meeting between Trump campaign officials and lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya was released today—the hosts take a look behind the headlines and discuss the real story. Jim Kavanagh, the editor of ThePolemicist.net, joins Brian and John. Primary elections were held yesterday in Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Nebraska, with women and progressives coming out on top in the Democratic party and mainstream Republicans winning most of their nomination races. Pennsylvania was the most closely watched state, and three women won Congressional nominations in districts that are likely to flip from blue to red. And Richard Saccone, who lost a closely watched race last month to Connor Lamb in southwestern Pennsylvania, lost again, this time to a mainstream Republican and veteran. Anoa Changa, the director of political advocacy and a managing editor of Progressive Army, and host of the show The Way With Anoa, joins the show.The United States is pushing for a deal in negotiations on a revised North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), but Canadian and Mexican officials were not even scheduled to arrive in Washington before tomorrow’s deadline. And without an agreement in writing, Congress can’t begin to debate it in advance of passage. Brian and John speak with Pete Dolack, an activist and writer with Trade Justice New York Metro, who focuses on human rights, social justice, and environmental and trade issues, and the author of “It’s Not Over, Learning from the Socialist Experiment.”

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan discuss the new lawsuit filed by the DNC against WikiLeaks, Russia, and members of the Trump campaign. Is there any substance to this action or is it little more than a public relations and fundraising ploy?Scheduled Guests: (Show 7-10 AM ET)Andrei Nekrasov - Writer and Director of the film, 'The Magnitsky Act.

Writer and filmmaker Andrei Nekrasov joins the show to talk about his history interacting with Veselnitskaya and his thoughts on her portrayal by the media.As the Trump-Russia saga continues to drag on, more indicators continue to emerge which suggest that there has been an effort by some high ranking government officials to sabotage the Trump Presidency from its onset. Derek Hunter, an editor at the Daily Caller and columnist at Townhall, recently wrote an op-ed on this topic which he breaks down on today's show.Many individuals in alternative and independent media have come under attack for their willingness to question official narratives. Tim Black is one of the voices who has been targeted for his work, and he returns to Fault Lines to discuss internet censorship and to also give his thoughts on the new lawsuit filed by the DNC.

The Style of Sovereignty. What it looks like to drain the Republican side of the swamp. Senators Flake and Corker make an exit, media figures express great anguish. Populist nationalists appear to be taking over the GOP, but Gov. John Kasich denies the present reality. Vice President Mike Pence comes to Denver, offers high praise for Sen. Cory Gardner and Rep. Mike Coffman. But do they truly deserve it? Meanwhile, Mike Huckabee criticizes Robert Mueller, and as the Russian Narrative boomerangs back on the Democrats, we replay the hysterical Leftist reactions to Don Trump Jr.'s meeting with Natalia Veselnitskaya. Plus, we continue delving into Fusion GPS and the Trump Dossier via the pedigree of former British spy Christopher Steele, who trained under Sir John Scarlett, the individual who helped bring Britain into the Iraq War with his claims that Saddam Hussein had powerful WMD's ready to deploy. Same networks used by the neoconservative Washington Free Beacon as connected to Iraq War propagandist Bill Kristol? More Deep State details.

Was Don Junior Set Up? Could his meeting with the Russian lawyer have marked a pretext for Obama Administration surveillance of the Trump Campaign? Why did Obama's AG Loretta Lynch take special measures to allow Natalia Veselnitskaya to enter the United States? Meanwhile, President Trump visits France on Bastille Day. Why is French President Emmanuel Macron so seemingly exuberant about Trump? And vice versa? And why are MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell and CNN's Jeff Zeleny making such elementary errors on history and mathematics in relation to Bastille Day? Also, we explore the Drudge Report's apparent suspicions about Vice President Mike Pence. Is Pence really distancing himself from Trump? Or are such stories just more "psyops" from the hostile media? Plus, our interview with Jeff Hunt on the upcoming Western Conservative Summit. With Listener Calls & Music via Louane, Terry Stafford and Jim Reeves. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Sebastian Gorka Highlight Reel. We sample fun audio from Dr. Gorka's exciting week blasting the hosts of CNN and MSNBC, as he describes an undistracted Trump Administration carrying on Making America Great Again. Meanwhile, we listen to Maria Bartiromo's hard-hitting interview with John Podesta about his conspicuous financial ties to Russia. Are smarter Democrats right to be worrying about another big-league backfire? Regrets for misdirected energies on Russia? We review a Fox News report on Natalia Veselnitskaya's special grant of "immigration parole" due to "extraordinary circumstances" -- courtesy of the Obama Administration. Meanwhile, we consider the Liberal "ideology of Western suicide" as described by philosopher James Burnham. Reconciled to our own dissolution? Plus, vignettes on toothpaste in Venezuela, Republican incompetence on repealing Obamacare, and Releasing the Frog.

The Great Russian Witch Hunt Continues. The Fake News Industrial Complex whips itself into another frenzy, this time against Donald Trump Junior and his meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. Smiles are returning to the faces of the Media. For now. But might their high hopes end up dashed once again? Can Ron Goldstone -- a goofball low-level British publicist -- truly occupy the epicenter of a massive Russian Conspiracy? Law Professor Jonathan Turley describes the farcical components of this "worst spy story ever." Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept sees standard politics and usual, without "evidence" of wrongdoing, as he considers the DNC's collusion with Ukraine and John McCain's curious involvement with the Dodgy Dossier. Who's moving the goalposts here? Meanwhile, we explore connections with the mysterious Fusion GPS intelligence firm.

Are Republicans close to passing new healthcare bill? Is it better than Obamacare? Is it good enough to truly improve the healthcare market? Free markets, low taxes and minimal government interference in the marketplace are the best solutions. Remember Democrats taunting Republicans for not being able to pass this? They may end up regretting it. Rand Paul cannot support it because he says it's no better than Obamacare. Doesn't change enough of the fundamental problems of Obamacare. Why not simply repeal like they did in 2016? Republican leadership's deficiencies. Prevent offense. Thank you to conservatives in Congress for moving legislation to the right. But is it good enough? Or just the best we can get? Donald Trump Jr's meeting with Natalia Veselnitskaya. Russian narrative. Democrat strategy has been to obstruct & delay - and Russia is the perfect cover because it's a convoluted narrative full of innuendo & rumor. And it sounds problematic.
