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.

And along with them come others to agree.


Yes...correct

You can bet some of the more liberal folk on here want to “Akin” Rep Stockman. They will dance with the liberal media to trash a conservative candidate

More like a Russian mail order gold-digger.

I was hopeful about Stockman, but this seems weird to me.

If neither our intelligence agencies nor Obama’s State Department will give Congress the truth about Benghazi and other goings-on in the Middle East, perhaps it has become necessary to get the truth from Putin and Russian intelligence.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Not to mention that Snowdon may have a few witheld files up for bid.

Move over Austin Powers, Steve Stockman IS “the International Man of Mystery.”

Doing the job Sen. John Cornyn refuses to do.

It seems to be the thought process they used.

Starting with that whole “second most conservative senator” thing Cornyn claims. I was wondering in his mind which one of the two does he consider himself more conservative than, Sen. Cruz or Sen. Lee?

Stockman must be a threat to the elites if they are trying to silence him. The elites are protecting their own interest; not yours. Cornball needs to go and not be replaced by another Cornball.

The AP writes a story Steve is missing all while their reporter is at a press conference with him.

MSNBC airs a chopped up version of Huckabee's "libito" statement.

In the MSM; Journalism is dead, Propaganda Rules.

And you got that 'flak' opinion by reading too much MSM.

He's was on official State Dept. business, he isn't some senile old fart who got lost!

I really hope the Tea Party has the good sense not to back this guy. He’s got flake written all over him.

Maybe not.

From the article:

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."

Daily News Egypt reported Jan. 20 that Stockman was part of group of five lawmakers who traveled to Egypt as part of a congressional delegation led by Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California. Inquiries to members of the delegation and the House Foreign Affairs Committee have not been returned.

According to the electronic communication reviewed by Breitbart News, Stockman said he was leaving for Russia to meet with Putin several days before the Daily News Egypt report.

Good call. Thanks for calling attention to the psychology ploy.

You're right. It's just like last time, and those before, like an watching an aging bar band playing cover tunes.

Some of the same names, too. No surprises, just the same old illusions and sales techniques.

Speak for yourself. He's challenging the PTB, of course he's going to have ugly stuff written about him.

The Houston Chronicle, the source of the stories, is on the other hand pro-gay (if not gay themselves), pro-abort, pro-Hildebeast, and ninety-six other kinds of perverted, subversive, and nasty. What's to wonder about? That they're backing a bending reed like Cornyn against Stockman?

This guy is my congressman, and yes he is bat shit crazy.

That is one way of putting it. Voters need to really do some research about his history.

Thank you, thank you, thank you both very much. Please give my regards to "Mr. Blossom" Karl Rove and the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. We owe them all so very much.

Thud-bump.

I'm concerned, too ..... concerned about the phony concern of concern trolls, trolling for the RNC, the RNCC, and Karl Rove.

<John Cornyn, singing> "What a friend we have in Karlrove
What a friend, what a friend in deed!
What a friennnnd we have in Karl Rove,
Slinging mud at the Tea Parteeeee!!"

Karl Rove? If you say so, I don't doubt it.

Let me guess, you don't like Steve Stockman and you earnestly desire that nobody else like him either, so John Cornyn can go on helping your business interests.

See you later.
