I must be a sleeper concern troll.

Politician's stories of secret getaway missions for the good of the country usually turn out to be somewhere between lies and delusions.

He was meeting with Putin on a "bipartisan codel"? WTF is a codel? WTF is bipartisan? Can he name what Democrats back his secret mission?

It's fun to watch Putin rub Obama's nose in his own foreign policy turds, but I wouldn't trust that guy to take my garbage to the curb.

Maybe it happened like Stockman says. Maybe there's some solid American patriotic reasons for him to secretly fly off and meet with one of our shrewdest political enemies. I'm just a bit skeptical.

Thank you...I was wondering what a “codel” was myself. I thought maybe it was “text talk”.

WTF is a codel?

Congressional delegation.

Or just easily manipulated by those who are.

He is the member of Congress that is actually looking into Bozo’s history. He was trying to gather support in Congress as well. Mike Zullo has met and worked on things with him.

I don’t think it is a good sign for the administration that Mr. Stockman went to Russia....

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 ▼]
