Grassley looks for Obama blame in Trump Jr's meeting with Russia [View all]

"But what Grassley wants to know is how that Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, could be in the country, apparently without a visa and without registering as a foreign agent. The Foreign Agent Registration Act, which dates to 1938, today mostly applies to lobbyists of foreign governments who are trying to influence U.S. policy. It’s a worthwhile question to ask but also one least likely to cast the president and his campaign in a negative light.

It’s not the first time Grassley has worked to shift blame for the whole Russian fiasco. He took a similar stance toward the controversy surrounding former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Grassley was focused on bringing to justice those who leaked classified information about a meeting between Flynn and the Russian ambassador. As an afterthought, Grassley also supported holding Flynn accountable for failing to disclose that meeting."
