Hillary Clinton's Team Met With Russian Ambassador, Says Kremlin Spokesman
The Telegraph ^ | 03/13/17 | Harriet Alexander

Posted on 03/13/2017 7:02:05 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Hillary Clinton’s team members met with the Russian ambassador during the election as well as Donald Trump’s, the Kremlin spokesman has alleged, as he set out to dismiss the “hysteria” surrounding Mr Trump’s links to Russia.

The house intelligence committee will hold its first session on Russia on March 20, with the heads of the FBI, national security agency and CIA expected to appear, plus previous intelligence chiefs.

“This is his job,” said Mr Peskov, speaking on CNN’s Sunday morning politics show. “He was talking about bilateral relations, about what is going on in the United States, so we have a better understanding in Moscow.

“This is what happens all around the world.”

He said that members of Mrs Clinton’s team had also met with Mr Kislyak, although he did not give specifics.

“Well, if you look at some people connected with Hillary Clinton during her campaign, you would probably see that he had lots of meetings of that kind,” he said. “There are lots of specialists in politology, people working in think tanks advising Hillary or advising people working for Hillary.”

Mrs Clinton's team is yet to comment on the allegations. But Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary for Vladimir Putin, said on Sunday that America was “self-humiliating” in insisting that Russia hacked its election.

And he defended the actions of their ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, whose meeting with Michael Flynn, Mr Trump’s choice of national security adviser, caused Mr Flynn to lose his job. He was fired after just 24 days when it became clear that he had lied about meeting the Russian, and misled the vice president.

Just as Clinton fired 92 U.S. Attorneys in one day during the Janet Reno days at his DOJ. It’s fine with the Democrat media when Democrat presidents do things that they bludgeon Republican presidents for doing. ‘Twas ever thus.

Expect the MSM to drop the “Russians interfered” headlines now, so that they do not need to report this.

” It’s fine with the Democrat media when Democrat presidents do things that they bludgeon Republican presidents for doing.”

Because Republicans do not know how to play the dirty trick game. It’s a commie thing and Democrats are good at it. Republicans, when faced with Alinsky tactics should shove the book down the rats throats with a warning that the next time won’t be as civil.

The left’s jammies are in a wad because Trump isn’t playing their game and the republicans jammies are in a wad because they are still afraid that Alinsky’s tactics can cause them an election.

Notice the word they used to describe the Clinton Clan ‘meeting’: “allegations”.

But with Trump, it’s a fact.

Look, get with the program.

If Hillary Clinton killed and ate an infant on the Capitol Steps, the “news” media would fawn over her choice of barbeque sauce and inform us that the baby had it coming.

If Donald Trump sat quietly in a church, the “news” media would howl and shriek in rage, and relentlessly call for his impeachment for Loitering.

Doesnt matter. What does matter is when people become comfortable enough with winning they’ll just stop caring about proving that there is a double standard

We all know that liberals would be fine with a president Hillary giving Putin an office in the White House - sheDID supply the home with our weapons grade uranium - nothing she could ever do could land her where she belongs in a constitutional America

Liberals are moral relativists We can accept it and move ahead the way Trump does, or we can react to Tapper’s duplicity and the support he gets

I find the problem right now to be liberal unconstitutional corrupt republicans like Ryan. Not even McCain who - who is a blabbing puppet, whomever he works for. But McConnell and Ryan are the spooky people.

A story that will go nowhere even if you put greased wheels under it and shoved it down a steep hill.

I’m sure the evening news will tell me about this when they remind me about Trump and the Russkies.

Isn’t it amazing we get more news from British papers than our own media?
