Was Anatoli Samochornov, the translator at the meeting, a mole connected with the State Dept?

Last edited Fri Jul 14, 2017, 05:13 PM - Edit history (1)

Ken Vogel just named Anatoli Samochornov as the translator.

Is THIS his Linked In site? See the last bullet point below.

What would a person like this have been doing at Junior's meeting? Has a mole just been unmasked?

ON EDIT: YES, this is the correct Anatoli.

UPDATE: And this Anatoli was previously with the NY FBI -- the NY FBI that we know worked to help DT in the election. Thanks to OnDoutside for post #8 below.

"Create, manage and supervise a diverse team of specialists responsible for devising and implementing a project."

Yeah, the team was pretty diverse. Russians, US citizens, Christians, Jews, female lawyers, music producers, intelligence service officials, etc.. healthy mix!

I don't know a lot about them, but some of these names (Gazprom) have cropped up in other related news stories.

And this lets us know that this has been in the works for a long time. Similar to 9/11, they gathered intel and waited for the opportune moment to execute their evil plans.

I hope everyone associated with this plot to overthrow democracy rots in hell. Looks a few may already be doing so.
