The treatment of the news that Veselnitskaya worked w/RU govt to help her client is remarkable. Think abt comms a US lawyer repping a corporate client might have w/USG.

it's that there are essentially NO "similarly situated" lawyers, in the US sense of the word, in Russia at all. The way the system works, high profile cases are not decided in courts. So the "lawyers" there do different things for a living; and are indeed fixers, not lawyers. 2/2
Um. First of all, she is treated as a lawyer in US courts. So you'll have to take it up with our legal system. Second of all, the claim that lawyer lobbyists here don't reach out to DOJ is the height of insanity.

OK, I understand your point. And admittedly, I know next to nothing about the actual comms in question. You are most likely right about the media here being off on the whole thing. But I'm sticking to my point: a direct comparison like yours is a textbook "apples-to-oranges".
