We reached all 26 members of the 2016 Armed Services Committee to see who met with Russian envoy Kislyak in 2016. Sessions was the only one.


Still no fire, but this is allot of smoke.

So if this means something for 2016, then it meant something in 2015 correct?

“Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” Trump’s son, Donald Jr., told a real estate conference in 2008, according to an account posted on the website of eTurboNews, a trade publication. “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”

Why only 2016? That's a dumb question to ask.

honestly, I think he has valid reasons to speaking to the russian ambassador. Why didn't he disclose it?

that to me, smells bad.

If it was completely innocent a quick investigation done by an independent person will quickly clear him.

All of them. He said he reached all of them. All have responded. Sessions is the only one to have met in 2016.

Except McCaskill has a twitter stating in 2013 that she was going to a meeting with the Russian Ambassador....so apparently Senators on the Armed Services Committee do meet with Ambassadors.

Speaking to someone at a reception you both attended is NOT "meeting" with them. Obvious desperation is obvious.
