Democratic Sen. Mark Warner texted with Russian oligarch lobbyist in effort to contact dossier author Christopher Steele
Fox News, Feb 8, 2018, Ed Henry

EXCLUSIVE  –  Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee who has been leading a congressional investigation into President Trump's alleged ties to Russia, had extensive contact last year with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch who was offering Warner access to former British spy and dossier author Christopher Steele, according to text messages obtained exclusively by Fox News.

"We have so much to discuss u need to be careful but we can help our country," Warner texted the lobbyist, Adam Waldman, on March 22, 2017.  "I'm in," Waldman, whose firm has ties to Hillary Clinton, texted back to Warner. 

***

Secrecy seemed very important to Warner as the conversation with Waldman heated up March 29, when the lobbyist revealed that Steele wanted a bipartisan letter from Warner and the committee’s chairman, North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr, inviting him to talk to the Senate intelligence panel.

Throughout the text exchanges, Warner seemed particularly intent on connecting directly with Steele without anyone else on the Senate Intelligence Committee being in the loop -- at least initially. In one text to the lobbyist, Warner wrote that he would "rather not have a paper trail" of his messages.

Well, archived texts aren't paper, so good job.  What a dumbass.  Shouldn't be surprising, I guess, when we're talking about a guy who met his wife at a frat kegger - when he was 30.

More Democrats colluding with Russians,

As a general rule, any time Democrats accuse you of wrongdoing, it means they are already doing it themselves,

Yep! Spot on!  It's their MO from WAY back!

Mueller, the Press, Sessions, McConnell, Gowdy, et.al., will all ignore it. Like it never happened, no matter how much clear evidence there is.

Most folks are jaded about politicians anymore.  We came to it the same way we first learned what happens when you touch fire.

Well, well, well.

I always wondered when we'd first hear of Congressional Dems being implicated in the Fusion GPS scam. Seems we may have our first conspirator, lil' Mark Warner.

Conspiring with Putin's oligarchs, no less. Oh my. Gee -  wonder if Adam Schiff is involved ? 🤔

If only the Virginia GOP would run a Conservative candidate against Warner.  But that is asking too much.

OK, Rubio.....he disclosed it to the committee four months ago.  That still doesn't explain his comments on not wanting to leave a paper trial.  Someone truly interested in transparency doesn't say that.

LOL....

Basically, it seems like Warner got caught with his hands in the cookie jar and tried to say, "I'm just making sure they're all still there."

I don’t care what Rubio says, that’s dirty pool and shows the democrats are just as much in it up to their necks. Warner has some explaining to do.
