Rinat Akmetshin was present at the Trump Tower meeting along with Natalie Veselnitskaya. The email to Don Jr which set up the meeting read in its first paragraph on June 3 2016 that Russian Government wanted to help Trump win by releasing damaging info on Hillary. That is also the central claim of Steele's dossier which he only stands by 70% of. Steele also added that Russians used Wikileaks to leak their hacked material. Neither Mueller nor FBI used Steele's dossier in their reports to Senate. The dossier was only used to get a FISA on Carter Page after he left Trump's campaign. It was the second FISA issued on Page. The first was in 2015 and helped convict 2 Russian spies who were grooming Page. Carter Page publicly said he worked for the Kremlin. He turned state's evidence to help convict those 2 Russians, and that was the extent of him being a CIA source. Mueller and FBI in two separate investigations independently proved the central basis of Steele's dossier which was that Russian Government helped Trump's election campaign by leaking damaging info on Hillary. Akmetshin was former Soviet military intelligence officer who was described as having "developed a special expertise in running negative public-relations campaigns." In a November 2015 lawsuit against him in New York State.
Love all the nitty gritty pieces you can lay out in a way that can be followed this far in. Just picking up the Mueller report looks like reading a phone book but, you make real logical sense of this scandal of all scandals.
