Trump to reporters, Feb. 16
“I have nothing to do with Russia. To the best of my knowledge, no person that I deal with does.”


[h=1]Three Trump Associates Who Changed Their Story on Russia[/h]

By WILSON ANDREWS and KAREN YOURISH MARCH 3, 2017​

Three people associated with Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign or administration amended earlier denials related to contacts they had with Sergey I. Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States. The F.B.I. is conducting an investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election.

[h=3]Jeff Sessions[/h]Attorney General

Mr. Sessions, one of Mr. Trump’s earliest and most prominent supporters, said at his confirmation hearing that he had not met with any Russian official during the 2016 presidential campaign. He later admitted he had met with Mr. Kislyak on two separate occasions.​

Senate confirmation hearing, Jan. 10
“I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign, and I didn’t have — did not have communications with the Russians.”

After reports of the meetings, March 2
“In retrospect, I should have slowed down and said, ‘But I did meet one Russian official a couple of times, and that would be the ambassador.’”

[h=3]Michael T. Flynn[/h]Former National Security Adviser

Mr. Flynn denied that he had any substantive conversations with Mr. Kislyak. He resigned Feb. 13 after it was revealed that he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about the nature of his conversations with the ambassador.​

Mike Pence on “Face the Nation,” Jan. 15
“What I can confirm, having spoken to him about it, is that those conversations that happened to occur around the time that the United States took action to expel diplomats had nothing whatsoever to do with those sanctions.”

Mr. Flynn’s Feb. 13 resignation letter
“Unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the vice president-elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian ambassador.”

[h=3]Carter Page[/h]Former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign

Mr. Page told Judy Woodruff on PBS’s “Newshour” that he did not have any meetings in 2016 with Russian officials, either in Russia or outside of Russia.​

Feb. 15 interview on “Newshour”
“I had no meetings, no meetings.”

March 2 interview on MSNBC
“I’m not going to deny that I talked to him,” Mr. Page said about his interaction with Mr. Kislyak at the Republican National Convention in July.

Sessions met with and spoke to the Russian Ambassador while he was a Senator. As these pictures demonstrate, it's part of the job.

HOW SWEET: President Donald Trump went after Democratic Senator Charles Schumer by retweeting this photo of Schumer and Russian President Vladimir Putin

President Trump tweeted on Friday a photo of Sen. Chuck Schumer enjoying a doughnut with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying there should be an investigation into Schumer's ties with Russia and calling the Senate minority leader a hypocrite.


But pause. What's actually happening in that photo?


The photograph was taken during Putin's 2003 visit to New York City, Schumer's office confirmed. Schumer, then in his first Senate term, and Putin were at the opening of a Lukoil gas station in Manhattan. Per Getty Images, which had photos from its archives of that day, the senator spoke about U.S.-Russia relations.


The senator retorted on Friday to Trump's tweet, saying he'd "happily" discuss his meeting with Putin:

And that they were eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Trump's tweet came as the photo was making its rounds on the right-wing sites, such as The Gateway Pundit and Infowars. Trump's director of social media, Dan Scavino Jr., tweeted the photo at Schumer earlier on Friday.


Per White House pool reports, deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders also pushed Friday the Schumer-Putin connection, wondering why it wasn't considered a story, given the attention paid to Attorney General Jeff Sessions twice meeting with the Russian ambassador in 2016. Sessions on Thursday recused himself from overseeing investigations into Russian interference in last year's election.



Schumer spokesman Matt House declined to comment on Sanders' statements, instead noting that the senator did not take issue with anyone meeting with ambassadors or officials.

"The problem is that Sessions lied to the (Senate) Judiciary Committee about it, and is in charge of the investigation into contacts between the two sides, to which Sessions has ties," he said in an email.

Sessions said during his Senate confirmation hearing that he didn't meet with Russian officials last year, a claim that was shown to be incorrect Wednesday night in a story by The Washington Post.

Trump has access to the best security briefings in the world, yet gets his news from InfoWars. Hilarious.

Donnie reads at about an 8th grade level so IB are virtually indecipherable to him.

Maybe best photo I've seen so far is of him sitting at desk approx 2pm weekday in early February. The daily IB is to his right under a pile of papers and the bag has not yet even been unlocked

There nothing wrong in meeting with Russian Ambassador. Yet, they did it in secret and lied about it for months.

People who use terms like libtard aren't really interested in discussing the issues. It's just blind hate. You cannot view anything objectively. You support a side regardless of actions or truth or facts. Ignorance is bliss.

So, Trump is accusing Schumer of having coffee and donuts with Putin. Go ahead, investigate.

Meanwhile, Trump is accused of hiring hookers to piss on his face in Russia and trading away diplomatic favors to Russia for $20 billion. So, yeah, let's investigate that too. Bizzaro world indeed.
