Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday he was unaware that U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions had met Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, but said such meetings were routine.

Peskov was speaking after the Washington Post reported that Sessions had failed to disclose two meetings with Kislyak.

“I don’t know the details of any meetings,” said Peskov. “(But) the ambassador’s job is to hold as many meetings as possible.”

Peskov said talk of possible Russian involvement in the U.S. presidential campaign, something Moscow categorically denies, was an internal matter for the United States. But he said it served to create an atmosphere in which the idea of repairing U.S.-Russia ties was harder to sell.

1. Except they're not routine!

Sessions is the only ASC member to have a sitdown with the Ambassador last year. Geeze, come up with a better line.

2. Question: who else die Kislyak meet with? other Senators? Congressmen? Campaign officials?

Should we call trump Inspector Clouseau? It is beyond bad when even your controllers don't want you. But good for our country that Russia is dumping them. It is a start!

7. Dmitry

in the English language, "unaware" is not the same as "did not happen". Of course, you are to be forgiven - since our own AG doesn't understand the meaning of "did not happen".

9. Well what the hell were they going to say?

We could have video of Sessions massaging Putin's feet, and they'd deny it.

Wait--am I talking about the Kremlin or the GOP? What's the difference, at this point?

11. "Gee whiz, we didn't know a thing about it."

"That Kisylak is SUCH a cut up. He just goes off and does stuff on his own without even breathing a whisper to us. We just don't know what to do with him."

[jpak]

12. Collusion

[lagomorph777]

13. Looks like Trump and Putin have agreed on the story.

No surprise there.

14. You mean they weren't listening thru the hidden mic Kislyak had in his lapel?

Someone wasn't doing their duty.
