A few minutes before he made those remarks, Mr. Trump met at a VIP reception with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Ivanovich Kislyak. Mr. Trump warmly greeted Mr. Kislyak and three other foreign ambassadors who came to the reception.

3. It'll be drowned out by the Wikileaks dump. n/t

[Ilsa]

4. Where did they meet up? Was it

mostly a meeting in private?

I didn't see any information on details. But the fact that 45 lied about it is yuuuuge. If he forgot, then he's too mentally done to be president.

6. They met at Trump's first foreign policy speech last year- April 27, 2016

James Baker and Kislyak sat beside each other during the speech.

5. Kislyak is a registered spy

[Angry Dragon]

8. I was under the impression that all politicians had to report that they

had met with spies after the meeting.............
if not that should be the rule

[George II]

7. Why would a presidential candidate and PRIVATE citizen meet with a foreign ambassador? He can't....

...even use the Session excuse that he was a "sitting senator".

9. Help!

I've been looking through the news feeds of this speech for pictures of Kislyak and Baker together.

If you pause this video at 0:00 you can see the heads of people in the crowd-- So far I haven't been able to find Kislyak's puffy white head.

10. holy cow, NewsMax reported this??

THE HORROR, it must be bad

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. Inadvertantly.

Back in early May they reported on it. Basically the gist of the story was "Putin loves Trump and hates Obama, so yeah Putin!"

The comment section of conservatives slobbering about Putin and how he's a "strong" leader is deliciously embarrassing.

11. k and R....nt

[Sunlei]

13. thats a dinner not a private meeting? guess newsmax needs coverage? Sending (R)campaign people

to Europe to meet secretly with Russian spies, those "Meetings" need more reporting.

[ffr]

14. Look out dRumpy Boy! The RW media is out to make you look bad now too!

Gotta figure they're doing it as a first step. The second will be embarrassing the KGOP to go after replacing you FINALLY!

[NewJeffCT]

15. More liberal fake news!

I know the WSJ is a conservative publication owned by Murdoch... just anticipating Trump's response.
