If Russian news agency TASS wasn't in the room how would we know Kislyak was in WH meeting w/Trump?

WH readout of Lavrov meeting does not mention Kislyak. W/o Russian MFA photos, would not know he was there. Convos w/him got Flynn fired.

1. Guarantee Putin also has an audio tape of the meeting.

Why wouldn't they? And they probably took the recording devices out with them so they wouldn't be found if security swept the room after.

Those Russians in that picture are probably laughing about what new Compromat they just got on the big Cheeto.

He'll reap the whirlwind along with his lickspittle.

4. "Lickspittle". What a word, and appropriate too.

5. Putin is clearly in the driver's seat

...don't believe there's ever been a more Russian-friendly U.S. president.

He certainly scored big yesterday.
