LONDON—The Moscow operation behind the now infamous Russian-Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 included a direct attempt to enlist a foreign country’s law enforcement official as a virtual double-agent, according to a court case in Switzerland.

One of Switzerland’s top investigators has been fired after allegations of bribery, violating secrecy laws and "unauthorized clandestine behavior" in meeting with the very same Russian actors linked to the Trump Tower encounter.

Details of the explosive case have been published by investigative reporters for the Tribune de Genève and Tages-Anzeiger newspapers in Switzerland. The officer, named only as Victor K., traveled to Moscow—against the expressed wishes of his superiors—where he spoke to Natalia Veselnitskaya, the lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner at Trump Tower.

The meeting was reportedly set up by Deputy Russian Attorney General Saak Albertovich Karapetyan—from the same rogue department that was apparently responsible for offering intel on Hillary Clinton to be shared at the Trump Tower meeting and the Kremlin’s further plots to influence American politics.

7. Hope Donnie 1/2 scoop saw the U2 performance....unedited version.

The ENTIRE WORLD despises your family 1/2 scoop....and 60% of your own countrymen would gladly hand over your entire clan rather than support you ... be grateful that we have not picked up the torches and pitchforks....YET!

2. This is why Trump wont get away with it

Too many Western intelligence services are all over him, Russian money laundering and influence peddling.

They will corroborate a lot of what Mueller finds and provide proof in many cases.

20. And put him on Interpol APB...

... arrested during a layover at Heathrow, while on his way to one of the 'stans? I will gladly eat kippers for breakfast if it does happen, for a month.

18. If this is true, it's more like a dam bursting.

11. I wonder if the Swiss were tipped off by Meuller?

Perhaps some information-sharing in both directions.

[erronis]

12. Possible. At least Mueller can trust the Swiss. Not like the 5-Eyes can trust dump/children.

The Swiss have a rather long history of staying alive amidst all the swirling storms. Obviously a lot of rich people trusted them with their (mainly) ill-gotten gains. I don't know that dump has any swiss accounts since they don't accept IOUs.

[Nitram]

19. I'm sure our allies are sharing intelligence on Trump. They already have.

[dalton99a]

15. Kick

[Botany]

17. Natalia Veselnitskaya is a Russian lawyer for the Russian Mob/Oligarchs ....

....but please lets talk about Hillary's emails. I really feel Trump and the republicans
are hooked into the largest organized crime syndicate in the world.

[Merlot]

21. How does this implicate trumpft?

I've been reading this and other stories on manifort, he's portrayed as the bad actor who dragged trumpft and the clan into the mud.

That's the way I'm seeing how the narrative is being spun. If someone can talk me off the ledge, please do so.
