On Wednesday, the Russian government posted photos of President Donald Trump meeting with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak on its official Twitter accounts.

This drew immediate criticism because the White House seemed to have allowed Russian state media to take photos of the meeting while excluding any American media outlets from doing the same.

Now a White House official tells CNN’s Jim Acosta that the Trump administration is “furious” at the Russians for posting the photos, as they claimed they were not told beforehand that any pictures would be posted on state-run social media accounts.

“They tricked us,” one official told Acosta about the Russians. “They lie.”

The official also said that the White House “did not anticipate” that the photos would ever be used by the Russians for propaganda purposes. That said, the official also slammed critics who called the meeting with Kislyak inappropriate because it came just one day after Trump fired the person overseeing the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s interference with the 2016 election.

“It is ridiculous to say that an ambassador can’t meet with the president,” the official said.

I used to be a little miffed that our own, dear HG would jump on blog pimps without hesitation, but I’ve come to see his wisdom. Consider the source, then search for the source without clicking on the source, and find out what source the source comes from. Usually, the more dramatic and far out the headline, the more BS. I realize there are blog pimps and then there are just the ignorant who think posting dreck like like this is helpful. BUT, there but for the grace of God go I.
