Drip of Russia revelations puts damper on Trump’s ‘home run’
Describing his decision to recuse himself from investigations related to the presidential campaign as “insufficient”, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., reiterated her call for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign on Friday.
He linked to a Politico story that reported that Pelosi had said she had never met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
The Ambassador was incidental to the 2010 meeting between then-Russian President Medvedev and then-Speaker Pelosi.

Schumer was also shown to have met Putin – which led to Trump calling the senator a ‘total hypocrite’. Who is this man that keeps getting Trump administration officials in trouble, just by meeting with them amid these tense times with Russian Federation?
“.@realDonaldTrump doesn’t know difference between official mtg photographed by press & closed secret mtg his AG lied about under oath”, Pelosi’s tweet stated.
During his 2003 trip to the United States, Putin traveled to Camp David to meet and hold a press conference with Republican President George W. Bush.

Trump has called any developments about links between Russian Federation and his campaign officials a “total witch hunt”.
Mr. Beller’s Neighborhood, a local blog about NY, reported that Schumer recommended that Putin try the glazed doughnut from Krispy Kreme.
Clearly the Russians did not help Chuck Schumer win, they did not help Hillary Clinton, in fact they hacked the Democrats after they couldn’t get into Hillary Clinton’s emails.
He’s been in the headlines for meetings with members of US President Donald Trump’s team during last year’s presidential campaign. “It is entirely possible that there could have been improper or inappropriate contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence without USA laws having being broken”, Zeidenberg wrote in the Washington Post. Sessions may find himself without his party’s safety net – something the GOP has so far been willing to provide the Trump administration.
