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."....

[conservaKate] What? I want conservatives that are NOT flaky.

"Flaky" is a term of art described by Media Leninists to describe people who are not reliable Leninists like themselves.

"Flaky" (in Media's judgment) is exactly what the country needs, to start curing the damage the dystopian totalists have done to the world's greatest-ever experiment in freedom and self-government.

When you’ve got a bag of ripe and juicy apples to pick from then you’d be right to want the best....but our political candidates are not that anymore....unfortunately you’re stuck with the bruised ones....but better than a rotten apple!

Those who would be the best candidates are pushed out quickly. if they can even get to first base.

You’re dreaming if you think for a minute things are black or white....those clear lines have been long gone. So you get those closest to the line you can get.

This seems to be a false claim by Stockman, it is no longer on Stockman’s website, and further research shows an earlier statement by Gohmert that he is NOT endorsing in that race...

If Stockman is a flake, we need another 500 flakes in congress.

What happened to the good old days when Congress scheduled their junkets for when they were in recess? Now they’re skipping work to go vacation on the government dime.
