MISSING CONGRESSMAN STEVE STOCKMAN SAYS HE TRAVELED TO RUSSIA

by BRANDON DARBY & JONATHAN STRONG

AUSTIN, Texas—Missing Texas Congressman Steve Stockman told an associate he was headed to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin, according to an electronic communication reviewed by Breitbart News, and now says he is in London.

The new information offers tantalizing clues both to Stockman's whereabouts and purpose as speculation continues to build about his unusual absence in the weeks since launching a quixotic primary challenge to Senator John Cornyn.

Stockman broke his silence on the matter in a text message sent to Breitbart News at 3:26am central time.

“I am on a bipartisan codel. I'm on foreign affairs. Part of my work,” Stockman said, adding that he doesn't know why a Houston Chronicle reporter said “I'm missing” because “we met with the press every day.”

Stockman also said "I am in a meeting now - London."....

Lots of concern trolls popping up in the run up to the election. Just like last time.

__________________________________________________
The trolls are starting to get nervous. Stockman talks to Sissi, then he talks to Putin. Since these are face to face meetings, NSA is out of the loop. Furthermore, his staff has maintained a blackout on his activities. Prediction: Tomorrow the WH propaganda media will start a blistering campaign to discredit Stockman.

When my congressman “disappeared” for about a week a while back, the local liberals played it up as him doing something dirty.

Turned out he was on an unannounced Afghanistan trip along with several other representatives and senators. I assume it saves money on security when they don’t make a lot of noise about it.

Lots of country club republicans from all over the country trolling this thread. Corny must be running scared.

There may be a few country club republicans, but the major are Obots coming out of the woodwork. Whenever you see a flurry of Obats, you know they are sweating bullets in the WH. I haven't seen as many show up on this site in a long time. They try to be cute with their phony cover names, but they aren't fooling anyone.

He’s got Stockman and 6 other challengers gunning for him in the primary. He needs to break 50% to avoid a runoff. I imagine the GOPe IS a bit worried.

Can’t say but there’s not a lot to verify. About all anyone can do is verify the number IF they had recieved texts from that number in the past. Or verify it came from a phone registered to his office. Even if they called the number, anyone could claim it’s his office. I’m just throwing stuff out there and there could be a million reasons no one has seen him. Not running out for tin foil just yet.

You’re right, there really isn’t much to verify. I was thinking along the lines of something like his wife calling Breitbart and saying “yep, that’s him”. B^)

Well, look at it this way...We will know for sure about where the Houston Comical falls when they endorse Cornyn to continue doing whatever the hell he thinks he is doing for this state up in D.C.

I used to have a lot of respect for Cornyn back in the day, and he was certainly better than the cheerleader Hutchinson or the longest time...But since her departure, Cornyn has developed into a true establishment, anti-Tea Party type republican...like many others in that situation...

I don’t know why, but I just thought of Sister Aimee Semple McPherson.

Stockman is VERY Conservative. I absolutely do not care how flaky he is — he’s what we need.

We need a VERY conservative flake?

Are you sure about that?

Dont recall ever hearing this phrse, but it pops up over the last several years:

codel (plural codels)

Abbreviation of congressional delegation., government-paid trips abroad, designed to give lawmakers first-hand knowledge of matters relevant to their legislation.  [quotations ▼]

LOL. I don't think it's quite gotten to that level yet! B^)

Theories and innuendo abounded: that she had run off with a lover, she had gone off to have an abortion, she was taking time to heal from plastic surgery, or she had staged a publicity stunt. Nevertheless, her disappearance produced a turmoil that convulsed Los Angeles, and enthralled millions of spectators who watched the unfolding drama in the press and on radio.

Are you sure about that?

I forget the name of the Conservative non-flake who is challenging Cornyn. If you refresh my memory, I'll do my best to support your man.

Unless, of course, your man is Cornyn.

Snowden told German news that he is no longer in possession of the NSA docs.

That would be true, if Snowden gave Stockman the Docs, say last week

FWIW...Personally, I'm anti-Cornyn. When he announced, I was attracted to Stockman. But some research led me to believe he was, quite literally, a flake -- somebody who goes off on tangents, like this one. Or, as one voter in his District has referred to him on this thread, "Stockman is batshit crazy".

Apparently, Stockman shares his conspiracy Kool-Aid with Alex Jones. Apologies if you're a fan...but I'm not.

Currently, what I've heard about Darrell Stovall has intrigued me...and I'm doing further research on him.

Knocking out Cornyn -- even in a run-off -- is going to be a formidable task. Clearly, the odds against us are much longer than they were in the Cruz-Dewhurst race. But I intend to vote for the guy who'd make the best Senator, not Cornyn...and then vote for his opponent, whoever it is, if there is a run-off.
