GOP Congressmen Use Steven Seagal To Find Boston Attack Clues in Russia

[Lakhota]

MOSCOW (AP) — The head of a U.S. congressional delegation said Sunday that its meetings in Russia showed there was “nothing specific” that could have helped prevent the Boston Marathon bombings, but that the two countries need to work more closely on joint security threats.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican who led the six-member delegation, described discussions with Russian parliament members and security officials as productive. Some of the meetings, he said, were made possible by American actor Steven Seagal.

Seagal, who attended the news conference in the U.S. Embassy, is well connected in Russia. He met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in March, and last week paid a visit to Ramzan Kadyrov, the strongman who rules Chechnya, a province in southern Russia that has seen two brutal wars between federal troops and Chechen separatists since 1994.

The congressman repeatedly thanked Seagal, who took credit for arranging the congressmen’s meeting at the FSB, and said it helped avoid the experience of past foreign trips when all of the meetings had been arranged by the U.S. Embassy.

“You know what we got? We got the State Department controlling all the information that we heard,” Rohrabacher said. “You think that’s good for democracy? No way!”

Rohrabacher and King were full of praise for Russian Orthodox Christian traditions after attending a service at Moscow’s main cathedral on Sunday morning. The cathedral became a rallying point for Putin supporters and the opposition alike last year when punk group Pussy Riot staged an impromptu protest against Putin’s merging of church and state, earning them worldwide notoriety and a two-year prison sentence for “hooliganism.”

The congressional delegation also included Michele Bachmann, but she made no public appearances and left before Sunday’s news conference. The Minnesota Republican arrived in Russia last week shortly after announcing that she would not seek reelection in 2014.

I like Steven Seagal, but this seems strange to me. Why won't Republicans work through normal channels?

Maybe Obama will listen to Steve Seagal since he couldn't be bothered to listen to the warning about the brothers he got from Putin

Normal channels would be the state department and the US embassy, who can't be trusted.

Why can't they be trusted? Because Obama appointed them?

 

[Katzndogz]

Mostly they can't be trusted because obama appointed them. When someone dedicated to the destruction of the country makes a point of appointing incompetents on the basis of the amount of damage they would cause, they should not be trusted.

Can you provide the "names" of these "incompetents" who can't be trusted? How about Ambassador Stevens? Did you trust him?

He's a badass. I won't go into his life history, but despite Putins KGB training Seagall would still choke him out in a cage match

Besides the fact that Putin didn't personally warn Obama about the bombers, there is also this from the op:

I guess the GOP congressman is in on it too, huh?

Start with John Kerry. obama had Ambassador Stevens murdered because obama didn't trust HIM. You might go further back to Hillary Clinton for sheer incompetence.
