This story, with five (!) bylines, throws Russian attorney Natalya Veselnitskaya's indictment last month into sharp relief.

A Lobbyist At The Trump Tower Meeting Received Half A Million Dollars In Suspicious Payments buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo… via @LoopEmma
According to the report, the Russian-born lobbyist (Rinat Akhmetshin) received a large suspicious payments from Denis Katsyv, Veselnitskaya's client and the owner of Prevezon Holdings.

Background from January: courthousenews.com/distinct-from-…
Considering how much of the Trump Tower meeting circled around the Prevezon-related matters, that could account for the belligerent replies from Veseltnitskaya and Akhmetshin.

Just received word that Judge Torres and the attorneys are returning from their tour of #MDCBrooklyn and will reconvene here shortly.

So, instead of watching the #SOTU, I will be live-tweeting the court hearing - if there's overlap.

ICYMI, earlier today: courthousenews.com/inmates-offer-…
On that subject: My colleague @BBuchman_CNS will be live-tweeting #SOTU, if you're following that.

Watch both of our feeds tonight, to see two very different states of our union.
(General bustle in the gallery of an otherwise empty courtroom, save for spectators.)

Good morning from New York.

I'll be live-tweeting a hearing today at 11 a.m. in the case of #MDCBrooklyn inmate Jose Segura-Genao, whose attorney first complained about the power outage there on Jan. 31.

Here's a snippet from the letter.

Background: courthousenews.com/lawyers-blast-…
Later that day, Mr. Segura-Genao's attorney filed a follow-up letter informing the judge of other cases related to the MDC outages. Here's the story of Dino Sanchez, whose attorney's affidavit is included in the linked file. documentcloud.org/documents/5725…
U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres ordered two MDC officials to testify today: June Bencebi and Anthony Sanon.

She also allowed the defense to call witnesses about the conditions at MDC.

“If the conditions of confinement at MDC are as represented on plaintiff’s submissions, there can be little question that such conditions are constitutionally intolerable.”

Judge’s written order, after today’s TRO.

Background, via @amandaottaway and me courthousenews.com/lawyers-blast-…
The firm representing the Federal Defenders touts the order as an “important first step” until they seek an injunction and court-appointed special master in the #MDCBrooklyn suit
"The court is not only authorized but obligated to ensure that individuals confined in our federal institutions are provided with access to attorneys, as guaranteed by the Constitution. If not the courts, then who?"

Akhmetshin, Lobbyist at Trump Tower Meeting Received Half A Million Dollars In Suspicious Payments for a mtg on “International Adoptions”- the same code words Trump and Don Jr used 🤣 buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo…
Akhmetshin is not a very clever spy
Remember when Trump wrote Don Jr’s excuse for the Veselnitskaya mtg 😂

#Veselnitskaya indictment top line: will she cooperate? Likely not.

Part of why Putin poisons and murders people is to discourage that kind of cooperation. But if she does, there’s gotta be a lot she could tell prosecutors.
apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/na…
Here’s the crazy loop: this indictment of Veselnitskaya/arose out of obstruction of a lawsuit /to seize proceeds of a fraud scheme /one of whose victims was Bill Browder/ whose lawyer Sergei Magnitsky /
was murdered for probing the fraud /which provoked the Russia sanctions /which were the intended topic of the #Trump Tower meeting /which Veselnitskaya attended.
