At the time of the Trump Tower meeting in June of 2016 FusionGPS had two clients: (1) the Democratic party and [[2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign|Clinton campaign]] (through the firm of [[Perkins Coie]]); and (2) Prevezon Holdings owned by the Russian Katsyv family (through the firm of BakerHoestetler); the Katsyv family is headed by Pyotr Katsyv, Vice President of ‘Russian Railways’, a huge Russian transportation company in which the Russian government is the sole shareholder.<ref>https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/checking-facts-there-evidence-fusion-gps-was-paid-russia-while-compiling-trump</ref> The Katsyv's hired a Russian lawyer, [[Natalia Veselnitskaya]], to come to the [[United States]] in early 2016 to represent their Prevezon Holdings company in an [[asset forfeiture]] case of a [[Manhattan]] building seized under Russian sanctions. When the case was settled she had a second task - lobbying against sanctions which were coming up for renewal that summer. She overstayed her visa and did not register as a foreign lobbyist. Veselnitskaya, as Prevezon  and the Katsyv's agent, did however employ the law firm of BakerHostetler, which in turn hired FusionGPS and Glenn Simpson to lobby for Russian interests on their behalf. Simpson did not register as a Russian agent either.

Veselnitskaya was Simpson's boss. Just as the Clinton campaign hired a law firm which hired Fusion GPS and Simpson, Russians oligarchs hired Veselnitskaya who hired a law firm which hired Fusion GPS and Simpson.

<!--In a bizarre twist how power elites will do anything for cash without principle, as the Clinton campaign and Obama Justice Department sought to frame Donald Trump with the charge of "colluding with Russia" in violation of U.S. sanctions, FusionGPS used [[Natalia Veselnitskaya]] who represented the Katsyvs, to engage in illegal unregistered lobbying for repeal of the same Russian sanctions.-->

Veselnitskaya instructed Simpson to dig up dirt on Russian sanctions. In doing so Simpson dug up dirt on Clinton Foundation foundation donors. Simpson gave Veselnitskaya a four page summary shortly before her meeting with Donald Trump Jr, Jarad Kushner, and Paul Manafort at Trump Tower.

While in the [[United States]] illegally, FusionGPS arranged for [[Natalia Veselnitskaya]] to present Donald Trump Jr, Jarad Kushner, and Paul Manafort dirt on major donors illegal contributions to the Clinton Global Initiative - work FusionGPS did for the Russians - at the notorious June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, The FBI then, in [[collusion]] with FusionGPS, used the meeting as further justification of "Russian contacts" to initiate a [[counterintelligence]] investigation of Team Trump.

FusionGPS played a large role in the effort to destroy the candidacy of [[Donald Trump]] and, after Trump was elected, the [[Deep state coup]] attempt to remove him from office.
