Official: Trump may meet top Russian diplomat in White House Tomorrow

By JULIE PACE and VIVIAN SALAMA

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump could meet with Vladimir Putin’s top diplomat at the White House on Wednesday, a U.S. official and a person with knowledge of the plans said, describing what would be the highest level, face-to-face contact with Russia of the American leader’s young presidency. It would also signal that the two countries have improved ties that Trump recently described as being at an “all-time low.”

Trump’s talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov would occur after the Russian’s meetings earlier in the day with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the official and the other person told The Associated Press. They weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity. The White House declined a request for confirmation.

To be clear, Lavrov was already set to be at the White House on Wednesday to meet with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. But Trump’s sudden last minute decision to set up his own meeting with Lavrov, which was not on the schedule, suggests that the change is related to James Comey’s firing.

And the Republicans condone this shit as they've condoned every single illegal thing Trump has done.
They are complicit!

This has to be part of the 2018 campaigns and it should start NOW!.
