This should be a national news story:

Nancy Pelosi , and a group of Democrats, visited Kyiv recently. Everyone knows what the visit was about.
Fourth of July 2018, a larger group of Republicans visited Moscow. What did they talk about?

The press gives endless oxygen to manufactured Repuke scandals, real scandals not too much.

4. Seven senators & one rep. I read Jill Stein also went.

Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-AL) Shelby chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee and has limited foreign policy responsibilities.
Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT)
Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND)
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI)
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA)
Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS)
Sen. John Thune (R-SD)
Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX)

The most info I've found is they went "for talks with Russian lawmakers and officials."

To my knowledge, no one has attempted to find out why she was on that plane. It was long enough ago that no one will ever try to find out.

What happens in Russia stays in Russia.

Just don't get out of line, or your extracurricular activities will get leaked to international news sources.

... offering underage playthings and then surreptitiously recording the activities and using them for extortion and blackmail. I GUARANTEE Putler* has much more than just a "pee tape" on tRump*, who was known in certain circles for his fondness for underage girls, especially the blonds that looked like his daughter.

I did suspect that the 'pee tape' on The Former Guy wasn't a tape about peeing at all. I suspect it's about him raping girls who looked like Ivanka.

I'm going to go get the brain bleach now and pour it in my head.
Back in a jiff!

The traitorous gathering, Rand Paul went to Moscow (paid by tax payers) to hand deliver a letter from servant Trump. These assholes should be asked what and why every time they stick their mugs in a camera.

Abrogating the NATO treaty, militarizing the arctic, a border wall with Mexico, and aggression towards Canada. The plan was to tell the rest of the world to fuck off as climate chaos impends.
