That comment is, I think, something I read off the Volokh Conspiracy some time ago. Obama and another senator got held in a Russian airport after inspecting some Missile sites. I couldn’t get any more info on that. That trail dead ended. It was in some newspapers at the time. I seem to remember the NY Times did a piece on it. The senators got held for a few hours and then allowed to continue on their trip.
Well, it would be a side issue EXCEPT if you want to think that Russia knowing the truth about zero is the reason zero is mulling over giving Putin sone of our soon to be former secrets...and also maybe why Obama made that decision that pissed off Czechoslovakia regarding the missile shield we scrapped that Russia didn’t want.
The potential for huge blackmail would be too much to resist. And meanwhile the big zero flies around at 180k/hr (plane only cost) enjoying his excellent adventure.
