After Flynn & Sessions: Trump campaign aids are coming forward admitting their contact with Russian Ambassador, Comrade Sergey Kislyak. In fact these contacts are so numerous, I am surprised that Trump just didn't make Comrade Kislyak his campaign manager.
"President Donald Trump's senior aide Jared Kushner and ousted adviser Michael Flynn met with the Russian ambassador to the United States at a time when the Trump administration's relationship with the Russians was under close scrutiny.
Kushner and Flynn sat down in December at Trump Tower with Sergey Kislyak, according to a senior administration official, who described it as an "introductory meeting" and "kind of an inconsequential hello."
Who is Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States?
Flynn was fired from his role as a national security adviser after he misled the administration about his conversations with Kislyak, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday said he would recuse himself from investigations into the Trump campaign relationship with Russia after news emerged that he too had spoken privately with the ambassador. Kushner's involvement in a meeting was first reported by The New Yorker, and Flynn's by The New York Times.
The administration official disputed the idea that accepting a meeting with the Russian ambassador could be cause for concern in light of the discussion about Russian meddling in the US election, characterizing the meeting as merely an attempt to meet key international players during the transition to power.
Another national security adviser to the Trump campaign, J.D. Gordon, also disclosed Thursday that he had met with Kislyak, this time during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July. That meeting was first reported by USA Today.
Gordon told CNN that along with national security advisers Carter Page and Walid Phares, Gordon stressed to the Russian envoy that he would like to improve relations with Russia."This is not any different than anything I said publicly and on panels," Gordon said.
Gordon had advocated for language in the GOP platform that the Ukrainians not be armed in their battle against pro-Russian separatists, an effort was ultimately successful. But Gordon says he was simply advocating what Trump himself had expressed -- that he did not wish to see major war break out over the situation in Ukraine.
(So here he is trying to Usurp the AUTHORITY OF current administration long before they even won the FUCKING ELECTION.) This is nothing but a pile of BULLSHIT. that Gordon is desperately trying to cover up.
They were in collusion with a foreign adversary to interfere into an American election. Now we've got one little birdy chirping and fairly quickly they're all going to be singing like canaries. Treason is a Yuuuuge charge, and they're not going to go down without pointing blame where it belongs right at Comrade Trump.
In a statement to CNN, Page said he would not comment on any meetings and added that he "never did anything improper" with regard to Russia.
Page did confirm that he met with Kislyak in Cleveland, however, in an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Thursday night.
"I do not deny that," Page said.

Now let's get to the phone calls.
This is going to bring this administration down, and it's going to take the entire Republican party with it.
