Russia’s Lavrov calls on US to publish bilateral communications over 2016 election

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday said Moscow wanted to publish a cache of communications with Washington that he said cleared Russia of allegations it interfered in the 2016 US election, but that the United States has blocked their release.

During a joint news conference with his US counterpart, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Lavrov once again dismissed the American accusation that Moscow tried to sway the 2016 election, which resulted in the upset victory of President Donald Trump

...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
"We suggested to our colleagues that in order to dispel all suspicions that are baseless: Let us publish this close channel of correspondence starting from October 2016 until November 2017 so it would all become very clear to many people," Lavrov said through an interpreter at the news conference.

"However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package...
regrettably, this administration refused to do so," added Lavrov, who has begun his meeting with Trump at the White House. "We are prepared to do that, to publish the correspondence that took place."

It was not immediately clear what communications Lavrov was referring to.

He said Moscow "used the channels that existed" between Washington and Moscow at the time in 2016 with the B.O. regime, and had got "zero response" when it appealed for an opportunity to directly discuss the allegations.

#4 I think 'dangling a carrot' is the term. Try to see who wants it.

#5 #3 by asking for them would make them 'legit' to some as oppose to just more tainted Russian propaganda.
