Russia confirms: Envoy met with Trump, Clinton camps during election

2017-03-13

[NYPost] The spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday confirmed a Kremlin envoy met with members of the Trump campaign during the election to discuss “bilateral relations” – but he also contacted people linked to the Clinton camp.

Both?!?!?! Why bless their little Democratic hearts, that's absolutely ... I'm afraid I can't choose between pitiful and adorable.

Dmitry Peskov, who denied Moscow meddled in the 2016 presidential election, said Ambassador Sergey Kislyak huddled with the campaign staffers as part of his diplomatic duties.

Asked about Kislyak’s meeting with the staffers for Hillary Clinton, Peskov said, the ambassador met with “people working in think tanks advising Hillary or advising people working for Hillary.”

Peskov also rejected allegations that Russian colluded with Trump officials to disrupt the election, saying the US is “self-humiliating” itself by even raising such claims.

#4 This whole "Russia hacked the election" and "Trump colluded with Putin" business is wearing a little thin by now, isn't it? No substance. No traction. It's about time to let it go.

Well, D'oh! What do they think is the reason that you have people doing diplomacy? HUMINT. Most everything else can be done by correspondence remotely.

I don't see a logical contradiction in this sentence - do you?
