The female Russian agent didn't lie. She was representing Putin's government in seeking to lift sanctions imposed under the Magnitsky Act imposed by Congress in 2012. Her leverage was wrapped in Putin's angry threat to halt the adoptions of Russian babies by Americans.the Russian lawyer said that she wanted to talk about a bill related to adoptions of Russian orphans. She lied.
The crime unfolds when an enemy state seeks to unravel a sanction imposed by the US Congress with the assistance of American citizens. The Russians helped to affect the outcome of a presidential election by releasing Hillary's hacked e_mails after the meeting with Trump .Jr. With their man in the White House, now the Russians could focus on getting his cooperation by any means necessary to lift the Magnitsky sanctions as well as the nationalizion imposed by Obama on those Russian spy properties in Maryland.Then she said that she could get dirt on Hillary.
