What was the Russian ambassador doing at the Republican National Covention????

[skip fox]

Why is no one asking that question?

He must be meeting a number of Republicans, and because of Trump's win, a number of Trump republicans, those in his campaign (staff) and those aligned with him (Sessions et al.)

Let's try to focus some attention on the ambassador's attendance at the Republican National Convention!

1. meeting with sessions about rigging the election

2. Do you have any proof?

my google finger is broken.

7. Might want to get that finger looked at...

Two months before the September meeting, Sessions attended a Heritage Foundation event in July on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention that was attended by about 50 ambassadors. When the event was over, a small group of ambassadors approached Sessions as he was leaving the podium, and Kislyak was among them, the Justice Department official said.

10. WaPo mentioned that the convention was the source of his other meeting

with the Ambassador.

When the event was over, a small group of ambassadors approached Sessions as he was leaving the podium, and Kislyak was among them, the Justice Department official said.

Sessions then spoke individually to some of the ambassadors, including Kislyak, the official said. In the informal exchanges, the ambassadors expressed appreciation for his remarks and some of them invited him to events they were sponsoring, said the official, citing a former Sessions staffer who was at the event.

Apparently the Heritage Foundation hosted a side-session during the RNC where the Ambassador was there and eventually met up with Beauregard. I have seen past posts about attempts at getting the RNC platform plank about Ukraine revised. And of course we know who runs Heritage now (DeMint) - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-heritage-foundation_us_57aa2d40e4b06e52746dfea9

13. Now is there any links between Kislyak and Putin?

15. LOL

There are all sorts of charts out there too!



Plus this - https://www.wired.com/2017/01/kim-albrecht-trump-data-viz/

Will have to add Beauregard in there. The "altered platform on Ukraine" was a significant thing.

3. Making the rounds

Handing out checks, making dark deals,
you know, normal republican convention stuff

[Hortensis]

4. Rock thrown in pond back then, no ripples.

And that was well after stories discussing Donald's and his circles' "flirtation with treason" were in all major media. AND the RNC changing its platform to suit Putin.

There is no better example than this year that it takes TIME to move the courses of nations.

5. needs answers.....

no time to scale back the pressure on trump and his minions

8. This very question is being discussed rght now

on Stephanie Ruhl's program now.

[Demsrule86]

9. I just said the same thing...

They coordinated with Russia over the election hacking...hope we can prove it. Another poster said it is not treason as we are not at war...but the Rosenberg's were tried and executed when we were not at war...a miscarriage of justice in my opinion. The point is people have been charged when were not at war.

11. Looking after Mother russia's investments. nt.

12. Someone had to specifically invite him, he didn't just wander in off the street.

Approval to allow the Russian Ambassador to attend the Republican National Convention had to come from the top, from Trump and his handlers, or the head of the RNC, Reince Priebus, maybe the majority leaders in the Senate and House as well. So who made the first contact? Did the Republicans reach out the the Russian spy master, or did the spy already have a mole buried inside the GOP leadership who facilitated his invitation?

16. Apparently the Heritage Foundation (DeMint in charge)

hosted a side session during the RNC where a bunch of Ambassadors were invited and Sessions gave a speech at it. I had found one site that apparently had the video of that side speech but then the video on the site was taken down.

So their buddy crazy DeMint is deep in it too.

And as a note - I just saw a youtube of the CSPAN Beauregard confirmation hearing where the poster of the video proclaimed the CSPAN video was "fake news".

17. Everything gets recorded now; Republicans still haven't figured that out. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Not only recorded

but archived and even virally spread around the world!

[Achilleaze]

14. kompromat research on the republican diaper-sex cabal?

It's enough to set republican toes to tapping in public bathroom stalls across the freaking fruited plains.

[librechik]

19. there's always at least one open bar at the conventions

that's probably just a perk who knows what his real job is.
