U.S. Senator Invites Russian Lawmakers to Washington for Talks Source: Bloomberg U.S. Senator Rand Paul said he invited Russian lawmakers to Washington, after talks in Moscow that his hosts called a signal to President Donald Trump of a desire to build ties. Paul told reporters Monday that he issued the invitation at a meeting with members of the international relations committee of Russia’s upper house of parliament, including the chairman, Konstantin Kosachyov, and Sergey Kislyak, the former Russian ambassador to the U.S. The Republican lawmaker, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “has access” to Trump and top U.S. officials “and we expect that we will be able to convey through him our signals” of a desire to establish dialogue, Kosachyov said, according to the state-run RIA Novosti news service. The visit to Washington may take place before the end of the year, he said. A bipartisan group of senators introduced legislation last week to impose “crushing sanctions” on Russia for interfering in U.S. elections, amid warnings that November’s midterm elections may be targeted. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign, after the U.S. intelligence community concluded that President Vladimir Putin ordered efforts to undermine Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and aid Trump. The Senate is also probing the alleged meddling. Read more: www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-06/u-s-senator-invites-russian-lawmakers-to-washington-for-talks

GROAN..... no matter how many times we in the IC say Russia is a problem.... Russia isn't our friend.... Russia likes to manipulate and meddle in other nations affairs.... Russia is STILL a threat to the US... these guys from Trump on down just wanna cuddle up to Putin and I just don't get it... Has anyone really thought that the Russian Mafia has a hand in this? I mean did someone get an offer they can't refuse?? *snort* but seriously the idea of Russia being a "buddy nation" just rubs me the wrong way... I grew into my career with the aspect that certain nations you have to watch... and Russia was at the top of that list.....not just historically with the Cold War but even as a so called "Federation" the tactics remained the same with them... they may be called FSB but trust and believe.... they are still KGB with a different name..... I really hope once Trump and Co. are erased from memory... that this Russian fetish will also die out....
