Attorney General Jeff Sessions is not the only member of President Trump’s campaign who spoke to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak at a diplomacy conference connected to the Republican National Convention in July. At least two more members of the Trump campaign’s national security officials also spoke with Kislyak at the event, and several more Trump national security advisers were in attendance.

Is this the same event where 35 other foreign diplomats were in attendance? Yawn.

So what?

Although an event similar to Global Partners in Diplomacy was held at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, it is not clear Kislyak attended that program or spoke with Clinton campaign officials. The Russian Embassy did not respond to questions on Thursday about his attendance at the RNC and DNC events.

Jerry Hartz, spokesman for the National Democratic Institute, which organized the DNC event, said the group could not release the list of attendees due to security concerns, but could find no indication Kislyak attended. “No one remembers seeing him there,” Hartz said.

And why did the GOP change their platform in a pro-Russian way? Going against giving arms to Ukraine and all that?


Too much fire here.

If Sessions had any balls he'd order that list to be released.

You're working overtime @Weird Tolkienish Figure to help the coup against this administration succeed.

What the hell is your endgame?

They betrayed a reliable ally to make Russia happy.

Well....  isn't 'speaking to them' what is supposed to take place at a business conference?  I'm confused, if not.  WTF??? (no pun intended)
