SIX more Dem leaders are revealed to have met with Russian Ambo

[The Mail] As Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill's claims that she had never met with Sergey Kislyak were proven to be untrue, six more Democrats have been revealed to have met with the Russian Ambassador.

Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Maria Cantwell of Washington, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Robert Casey of Pennsylvania and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island sat in on the meeting with Kislyak and McCaskill, Fox News reported.

The seven Democratic leaders met with the ambassador to discuss the blockade of US adoptions in Russia in 2013.

Klobuchar said in a statement that she was at the meeting to tell Kislyak about the families she met in Minnesota. McCaskill was one of the slew of Democratic lawmakers demanding Attorney Jeff Sessions' head after it was revealed he had met with Kislyak twice last year.

The Missouri senator had denied meeting him saying in her ten years serving on the Armed Services Committee, she was involved in 'no call or meeting' with the Russian diplomat.

Her claims were quickly disproved after Charles C.W. Cooke of the National Review discovered tweets saying otherwise. 'Off to meeting w/Russian Ambassador. Upset about the arbitrary/cruel decision to end all US adoptions, even those in process,' she tweeted on January 2013.

That same year in August, McCaskill tweeted again: 'Today calls with British, Russian and German Ambassadors re: Iran deal. #doingmyhomework.'

She told USA Today the meeting was with around a dozen other senators.

#1 Any FISA 'wire tap' action initiated against any of these people? Just asking.

#2 Yes, but we know that all Democrats are people of sterling moral character and deep seated American patriotism. We don't know anything of the kind about Flynn or Sessions.

#3 But these weren't meetings with the enemy. These were what the people at work refer to as 'Productivity Sessions'.
