Why is a RUSSIAN lobbyist also working at State Dept and involved with an FBI program? [View all]

Bear with me.
This list is from the Browder report that was sent to Grassley who in turn sent it to Boente in March 2017, basically asking WTF are you doing about all these Russian operatives/lobbyists.
How many more Russian lobbyists are on the fed payroll?

From the PDF entry:

The following people have been involved in HRAGIF’s lobbying activities, but are not listed in their LDA filings:

i. Chris Cooper, CEO Potomac Square Group
ii. Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer for Prevezon


iii. Anatoly Samochornov, Russian born professional interpreter and project manager for the US State Department

---------------------
The second name is the lawyer who Jr met with.

That last name there. See how her job description is State Dept? I had seen else where she also was a "project manager" with some NY FBI project. So I googled some more.

Tuesday, Acting Special Agent in Charge (A/SAC) Lauren C. Anderson met a group of 18 European international relations and security graduate students visiting the United States as guests of the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program.

Following the introduction by Program Officer Anatoli Samochornov, A/SAC Anderson gave a brief summary of the international scope of the FBI under circumstances relating to counterterrorism and criminal cases and the collaboration between various countries’ national intelligence services, based on her own extensive background and international cases she investigated. Discussing common security threats and teamwork between the U.S. and our European allies, Anderson provided insight on the FBI and our global reach in fighting international crimes and terrorism.

I had shared the PDF elsewhere on DU but for those who want to see the source of the names, it's on pg 9 of this huge 108+ page entry. The PDF spells her first name ending with a y the above ends with an I. Same job description and title. Same person.
