Thread: Ex-Soviet Agent at Meeting Between Trump Jr., Russian Lawyer: NBC New

Sounds like th State Department and the FBI didn't have a problem with him

New York Times Omits Clinton State Department Link to Trump Jr. Meeting

The Times did not provide any background on Samachornov beyond reporting his name and that he was a “translator.”
Samachornov is more than that. According to his LinkedIn profile, from 2005 until recently, Samochornov was a project manager at the Meridian International Center, which describes itself as a “nonprofit, global leadership organization headquartered in Washington, DC.”
Meridian is a principal partner of the U.S. State Department.
Samochornov’s LinkedIn profile says he was an interpreter and a “partner/owner” in Interpreter Boutique, which provided translation services.
The LinkedIn profile further describes his work on behalf of the State Department, purportedly while he was at Meridian. The timeline of his work at Meridian includes the period when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.
Samochornov’s LinkedIn profile lists the following activities:

• Represented the U.S. Government in securing cooperation of key U.S. resources in the corporate, governmental and NGO community.
• Collaborated with the U.S. and international aid agencies and stakeholders on devising business plans and training workshops on a variety of different topics.

Samochornov was listed as the program administrator for the State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program, which is implemented by Meridian. Breitbart News found the draft program book for the March 4-12, 2013 leadership initiative, which listed a State Department email for Samochornov.
An email sent to the State address listed for Samochornov, samochornovav@state.gov, did not bounce back, indicating the address could still be active.
Samochornov was also listed as the “Program Officer” for the State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program in February 2010. The FBI’s New York field office participated in that month’s program.
Samochornov’s number at the International Visitor Leadership Program is still functional. It is answered by a message from Samochornov saying he will be away starting December 24, 2014 “until further notice.”

I heard the man is a long-time naturalized US citizen.

"NBC News said the Russian-born American lobbyist who attended the meeting with Trump aides had served in the Soviet military and emigrated to the United States, where he holds dual citizenship."

He may have dual citizenship, but he held government positions under the Obama administration's reign. So, he was OK wto work for the Clinton State Department, but he has a meeting with Trump Jr and he is suddenly a Russian military spy? I find it interesting that all of this "broke" on Trump Jr the week after he gave the media a particularly hard time on twitter.... Pay back?

Yeah, so what? He's a US citizen. Until 2 years ago, Ted Cruz was a "dual citizen" born in Canada. I don't think dual citizens should run for President, but I have no problem with dual citizens meeting with the Trump Organization or any other American Business, or any political campaign, or any other aspect of American Life. THEY'RE CITIZENS!!

Anyone who claims dual citizenship is not the citizen of any country at all. Dual citizenship is a contradiction in terms, a principle and legal absurdity. It is subversive to the whole idea of citizenship.

I agree and we should require that in order to become a naturalized US citizen, you denounce your citizenship of your old country. I thought our citizenship required that, but like so many things, it is not enforced. But in any event, this Russian-American is no different than any other naturalized US citizen with dual citizenship and should be treated accordingly.

So far, I have found a list of politicians and Government officials that hold Israeli dual citizenship. There are others, like Michelle Bachmann (Switzerland 1978, that hold dual citizenship in other countries as well. I really don't think that elected officials should have dual loyalties and stay in office.
