How many of J Beau's colleagues met with Russian Ambassador Kislyak?

J Beau sez he met with Kislyak as part of his role in the Senate. Okay, then how many times did his colleagues also meet with Kislyak? Were such meetings routine?

Or was J Beau's contact unique to J Beau?

Should be easy enough to find out, huh?

The Washington Post contacted all 26 members of the 2016 Senate Armed Services Committee to see if any lawmakers besides Sessions met with Kislyak in 2016. Of the 19 lawmakers who responded, every senator, including chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.), said they did not meet with the Russian ambassador last year. The other lawmakers on the panel did not respond as of Wednesday evening.
