quote:

Contradicting repeated denials from Donald Trump and his team, Newsmax reported on May 14, 2016 that Trump met Russian Ambassador Kislyak at a VIP reception in Washington on April 27.

And while meeting the Russian ambassador is fine, why lie about it?

UPDATE: The Wall Street Journal of May 13, 2016 confirms Trump met with Kislyak. The Journal goes even farther and says Trump “warmly” greeted the Russian ambassador:

A few minutes before he made those remarks, Mr. Trump met at a VIP reception with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Ivanovich Kislyak. Mr. Trump warmly greeted Mr. Kislyak and three other foreign ambassadors who came to the reception.

Trump and his aides have repeatedly denied that anyone on Trump’s team, including Trump himself, had any contacts with Russian officials during the presidential campaign. Yet we continue to find out, drip by drip, that those denials were wrong.



Anyone want to give a defense of this before the WH talking points come out?

This isn't really much evidence of anything, except that Trump is a bullshitter.

He spoke to a guy at a function. You people are completely retarded. It's not against the law.

So he bumped into him at a party? Is this the leather glove being presented by the prosecution? Looks a little small.

How does this equate talking to or working with the Russians?

I meet people all the time, it doesn't mean I am working with them.

So we're to believe that Trump coordinated an international conspiracy by shaking a dude's hand?

As someone who voted for Trump, of course the guy is a bullshitter.

Yeah, but do you greet them warmly?

That makes all the difference in the world.
