Yes, this is an odd question, where is that Boris guy?

[Doreen]

I thought it strange that the one immigrant he would have was Russian particularly when all of this business with Russia was going on. Am I the only one who thought there was something fishy about him? The election finished and he just went poof. Did he go back to Russia to share info or is he just plain citizen who went back to work?

1. Probably the most vocal

surrogate. Talked over everyone, obnoxious to the extreme and a rabid Dolt supporter. I haven't seen him in a week or so but I'm sure he's around stirring up shit behind the scenes.

[Doreen]

2. I have not seen him since the election.

I watch the news a lot and no Boris. Is that behind the scenes shit stirring in Russia though?

[pinboy3niner]

3. Here

[GP6971]

4. LOL Good one!! n/t

[longship]

5. Sitting next to Natasha, just like he always is.

[milestogo]

6. Who, me?

[czarjak]

7. Odd, my butt..

That's a damned good question. Of all the outlandish Trump babblers, he was the gold standard. Putting Kellyanne to shame.

[Doreen]

9. CONway just sounded stupid but he sounded like an asshole.

Like I said he just went poof.

[Demonaut]

8. I've thought the same thing, no doubt he's busy workng with the other dark forces

of trumps team

His physical presence gives the impression he's an idiot but he's dangerously intelligent

[Doreen]

11. Do you think he has Trump friendly ties to Russia?

[Demonaut]

12. I think trump has greater ties than anything Boris could muster

[Doreen]

13. Well, I realize that but I am wondering if he is kind of like their homing pigeon.

More like an undercover messenger because people might not suspect him.

[Demonaut]

15. well you could be right but his russian ties would make it too obvious

"Epshteyn was born in 1982 in Moscow, Soviet Union into a Russian Jewish family.[2] In 1993 he emigrated with his family to the United States; his family moved to Plainsboro, New Jersey. In June 2013, Epshteyn marked the passing of Democratic Senator Frank Lautenberg by publicly thanking him for creating legislation that helped Epshteyn's family to emigrate to the United States: "... it was the Lautenberg Amendment ... passed in 1990 [which] loosened the restriction on refugee states and thereby allowed for tens of thousands of Jews like me from the former USSR to come to America".[3]

Epshteyn is a graduate of Georgetown University School of Foreign Service (BSFS, 2004). During his time as an undergraduate at Georgetown, Epshteyn became a brother of the Eta Sigma chapter of the Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) fraternity.[4] He graduated from the Georgetown University Law Center with a law degree.[5]"

From wiki, he's a typical rw piece of shit hypocrite

[Doreen]

18. Hmmm, it was a Democrat that got his ass into this country and he is against them?

I just do not feel I can trust him for some strange reason.

[Demonaut]

19. lol

[TrekLuver]

10. I remember hearing something about him stepping away or other ....I can't remember

if he used the spend time with family line...but he is not part of the "campaign" any more at least not in any official capacity. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong...I'm a little fuzzy on this.

[spiderpig]

14. I wondered that myself.

He was kind of the Baghdad Bob of the campaign. When he was on camera you'd roll your eyes and think "What's he going to come up with next?"

[Doreen]

16. I have this weird feeling he is going to show back up but

it is going to be with something that is happening behind the scenes that is not good for this country.

[HipChick]

17. Boris Epshteyn has been at the WH the whole time as a special assisant...

you can see him sitting on the side at Spicy pressers...

he's been keeping a low profile, compared to Spicy and Kelly though...

[Doreen]

20. WOW, for some reason that is kind of scary

with him just sitting in the background being quiet. I just do not trust him.

[pinboy3niner]

21. He did one of those WH spox standups in early Feb.

On Feb. 3, he was interviewed by CNBC as he stood in front of the White House defending Trump's Muslim ban. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/03/a-safer-america-is-better-for-business-wh-aide-says-of-trump-temporary-travel-ban.html

[HipChick]

22. When they run out of surrogates they trot him out, he was at Drumpf crazy presser last week too

does not appear to be part of the inner circle..

[pinboy3niner]

23. Another tidbit...

There is also grumbling about Boris Epshteyn, special assistant to the president, who has started attending a Monday afternoon meeting of House communicators as the administration's liaison. Several aides said Epshteyn simply parrots the White House line (that everything is going great) and seems to resist detailed questions from Hill staffers.

"The meetings are good opportunity to have open lines of communication between the White House and Republicans on the Hill," said Epshteyn, who is also assistant communications director for surrogate operations. "The response we've received from the Hill has been overwhelmingly positive."

On Monday, according to someone in the room, a staffer asked Epshteyn about conflicting news reports that the White House was considering rewriting its controversial travel ban executive order. Epshteyn said that nothing was off the table but that the group shouldn't necessarily believe all of the reports.

When the aide asked if, at least, Hill staff could receive 24 hours notice on any changes, the room tittered, and Epshteyn joked that he was sure he would read about the exchange the next day in the media.
