The fact that the Veselnitskaya revelations "just happened" to have come out a few hours before the House Intel Committee's report is interesting. At first I couldn't really figure out if the GOP members of the House Intel committee released their report today to attempt to try to out-press the reveleations, or if that Veselnitskaya story was released today to overshadow the report.
Then I saw this:
There aren't many people who could give Veselnitskaya permission to say she was an informant on national TV (which, despite all of her acting, was not an accident). Looks like someone isn't happy about his friend being sanctioned.Oleg Deripaska has agreed to reduce his stake in EN+ to below 50%, the company said in a regulatory filing in London on Friday. He will also resign from the sanctioned firm's board.
EN+ is the largest shareholder in aluminum producer Rusal. At the end of December, Deripaska owned more than 76% of EN+, according to Rusal's annual report.
Deripaska was hit earlier this month with tough sanctions on Russian oligarchs that target him and his businesses.
Deripaska has a longstanding relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Ya, they may have come to the end of uses of their useful idiot
The real question is- how did they know the House GOP was going to release that report today?
I suppose it's possible that the House report was released to cover the Veselnitskaya story, but the Veselnitskaya story contradicts and calls into question the House GOP report more than the other way around.
Though it wouldn't be the first time that particular Committee had something backfire horrendously on them.

Why hasn't she been interviewed by the special counsel?
