Moscow: We Met With Clinton Team As Well
Posted On 13 Mar 2017
In an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Russian ambassador to the U.S. didn’t just meet with Jeff Sessions and other members of the Donald Trump campaign team. Peskov said that Ambassador Sergey Kislyak also held meetings with people close to the Hillary Clinton team as well.
“Well, if you look at some people connected with Hillary Clinton during her campaign, you would probably see that he had lots of meetings of that kind,” Peskov said. “There are lots of specialists in politology, people working in think tanks advising Hillary or advising people working for Hillary.”
Peskov said there was nothing suspicious or wrong about the diplomat holding talks that would improve “bilateral relations” between the U.S. and Russia and that the meetings had nothing to do with Vladimir Putin trying to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
“There were no meetings about elections,” he said. “So if you look at it with intention to demonize Russia, you would probably say that, yes, he was trying to interfere in Hillary’s activities. But it would be nonsense, because this is not true.”
Peskov noted that Putin did not come out publicly in favor of one candidate or another.
“You would probably recall that President Putin, during election campaign, had never answered directly a question about his candidate of his support,” he said. “He kept saying that we will respect a choice of American people.”
However, Peskov admitted that Putin was not exactly neutral in his private preferences.
“The candidate Hillary Clinton was quite negative about our country in her attitude and in her program, declaring Russia being nearly the main evil in the world and the main threat for the United States,” Peskov said.
“And to the contrary, the other candidate, Donald Trump, was saying that, ‘Yes, we disagree with the Russians in lots of issues, but we have to talk to them in order to try to find some understanding.’ Whom would you like better? The one who says that Russia is evil or the one who says that, ‘Yes, we disagree, but let’s talk to understand and to try to find some points of agreement?’” he explained.
Peskov’s interview comes as Democrats are pushing hard for a thorough congressional investigation of the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russian government officials.
Were there any contacts that were inappropriate? Perhaps. Time will tell.
But so far, we’ve seen nothing that indicates that any Trump official crossed the line. There’s nothing wrong with the Republican nominee for president holding talks with representatives from the international community, and none of this would have been an issue had it not been for the DNC hacks. It’s time to pony up some evidence or move on.
But Trump is the criminal?
Gary to say that makes u the criminal and a foolish lier
In the minds of the far left socialists (whether they are more progressive-communist or progressive-fascist in the details) EVERYONE who opposes or exposes them is a master criminal (since the days of Woodrow Wilson, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler and so forth). Wilson had a private force of over 100k thugs who were instructed to beat up people or destroy their business is they didn’t show enthusiastic support for Wilson’s anti-American makeover agenda. You won’t find any mention of this in the leftist written suckup articles such as found on Wikipedia. They claim Wilson “was beloved” – people in North Korea supposedly say that about their “Great Leader” as well. Smile, clap, jump for joy – or starve to death in a labor camp.
Most of us 2017 “pwogwessives” have very mixed feelings about President Wilson.
The main criminal is obumer. 20 trillion in dept
Clinton was responsible for deaths of 4 active duty military, FBI, CIA, and other civilians in Benghazi. Not to mention Hilary Clinton email server.
only people with something to hide go to the trouble of using bleach bit to cover up the crimes they committed and remember Hillary saying that only she would be their to answer the phone for that 3am emergency call and you know she might have to if she had ever given ambassador Stevens the real contact number !
No one ever said Hillary was perfect; contrar, everyone knows she is Matriarch of the Clinton Cartel. She only wants to do good; good for herself and screw the rest of US.
Convict Hillary of treason and all of the Demorats will come crawling out of their holes.
We keep going round and round about all of this, but when is President Trump going to back up his pledge to see Hillary and the rest tried for their many crimes against the United States? I grow tired of seeing the same accusations made with no response outside of a bunch of people who can’t do anything about it except rehash old news. I guess it’s enough to make comments, see your names listed, and be satisfied with that.
Yes according to Honest Chucki Schumer (who would never lie) Chucki who reminds me of the Batman enemy- ‘the Penguin’.
I doubt the media traitors will utter a single word about this, except maybe FOX….
Of course not. Anything that has even the slightest tinge of something positive about Trump and/or negative about Clinton, the media become completely deaf. But if Trump even blinks more times than the media considers as normal, well then he must be secretly communicating with Putin about top secret stuff. It’s pathetic, disturbing, unfair and getting on my last nerve!
Was it President Trump that sold one third of our urainum deposits to Russia; or was it Hillary Clinton’s OK on the sale, while she was Secretary of State that gave the Russians this advantage? Where is the Free(for Democrats) Press on that point?
Rush Limbaugh SAID that we sold that uranium?
35 Million into the Clinton Foundation !
Ever hear of the Hoover Foundation?
Herbert Hoover oversaw the Food For Belgium program.
A relative of his, Margaret Hoover, directed the Hoover Foundation.
She also sat on a Belgian “education” panel.
KICKBACK?
Did Trump, EVER, denounce that organization?
I had never heard of the Hoover Foundation . I must look it up ! I did hear that the Trup Foundation donated 19 Million to St Judes Hospital .
He CLAIMS that he donated more to the vets!!
And Thank God he did. That’s where my stainless steel mytral valve was donated from when they brought me back to life. Thank you Mr Trump..
Hoover Foundation? Seriously comrade, you really ARE desperate aren’t you!! It would be hilarious if it weren’t so dam_ Sad!!!
I can find nothing negative about either The Foundation or Margaret, who, as far as I can tell has nothing to do with the Foundation itself.
Repeating that same old out dated bullshit again aklady.
The media uses RELIABLE sources!!
That’s the “amusing post of the day” winner!
Sessions specifically said that he didn’t meet with them
To discuss the campaign.
You are wrong.
He said I didn’t meet with the Russians.
In fact he met with them twice
Not regarding the campaign. He met with them as do many in Congress. Like the Hildebeast people.
NO RAY U ARE WRONG AND A STUPID A##
Hey Ray,
Since you’re so adamant and hung up on Sessions meeting with the Russians, do you know under what circumstances and what was discussed?
Would you consider it a “meeting” if Sessions was leaving a meeting with various Government Officials including a Russian Official who happens to walk over and shake his hand exchanging pleasantries? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d8834f583432beb3820d98f0005905d0cc3cca214b70048c5a36a3f6b295e8cf.jpg
You have a condition called,CNN on the brain.
Ray; get back in your crib, mama told you to take your nap; from CNN!
Keep smoking that bad dope Ray. It’ll give you good dreams, of sugarplums and Fairys.
They met to discuss the useful idiots like yourself, people who will think whatever the far left progressive-fascist media wants you to. Tell us, are you old enough (at least 26) to voice an opinion? If over 26, you have at least a 10% chance of seeing the leftist media for what it is – agitation propaganda outlets. If you are over 50 (and not a leftover hippy) you should be 90% aware of this.
Ouch! That hurt!
I was being facetious when I responded to the idiots (Ray Mooney) asserting that Sessions lied when he was asked if her met with the Russians.
I know he (Sessions) met in the capacity of his role as a Senator like they all do. And inferring that he did not meet the Russians just to discuss the Trump campaign.
Apologies accepted.
Ah! My error. Sincere apologies for mistaking you for one of our common enemies – progressives!
Sessions was asked specifically if he had met with the Russians to discuss the campaign. That was the question he answered. Russia is a diplomatic presence in Washington and many members of government, both parties, meet with them. The question was specific and limited in scope.
But he went beyond the scope of the question and said I never met with the Russians. In fact he met with them twice
Fool he answer the guest ion as it was asked
So Ray, Pelosi and many others on the far left (progressive-fascists) met with various Russians in 2016. Pelosi lied about it even with photos showing her across the table from their foreign minister. If you don’t know this, then your only source of news if from the far left “mainstream media” and all the far left blogs (Wash Post, Huff Post, Slate, Vox, Business Insider, Politico, dozens more).
He never met with the Russians to discuss the campaign. What about that statement can’t you understand? Sessions did not lie; he answered the question he was asked.
Agree! I was always told, by an attorney back in 1980), NEVER offer information. Just answer the question asked.
That’s the G-d’s honest TRUTH!
Sessions with democrats were meeting with Russians on committee as elected House and Senate. But democrat’s failed on disclosure thinking somebody wouldn’t find out.
Over the campaign issue.
It makes since that the Russians would try to curry favor with the Clinton Campaign since they were thought to be the sure winner of the 2016 election! Why would the Russians bother with the Trump Campaign losers?
The Clinton team meeting with the Russians cannot be true. It was never reported by NBC or NYT.
AMERICA FIRST.
Rummy Walker NBE, NYT, Washington Post etc..
Supporters of Hilary Clinton’s team backing democrats objective of status proque. Only attacking Trump’s team with negativity and twisting everything. Failed, disclosure of democrats in House and Senate meetings with Russians.
Icey, you are becoming a liberal. You are losing your sense of humor and your sense of irony.
Overheard at a Liberal Protest when learning of the Clinton Russian Pre-election Meetings Revelations;
“But…But….Trump is Evil!”
Brainwashed by the left wing professors the communists quietly snuck into our education system over the decades. They could not beat the American system at the POLES so they are trying to subvert it thru our education system. Let a Conservative teacher express his/her ideals their quickly fired.
This all started long ago.

Tears and fears from the left. Needs to be a song.
Yes it’s in titled, “If I only had a brain!” I could see Nancy Pelosi as the lead singer, and Hillary as the base or baritone.

I believe Vlad is saying, “You limp wrist little weasel. If you point that fist at me one more time I will stuff it up your ass and extract your tonsils.”
When you try to defend someone by saying, “well she did it too” it’s not a defense. It’s a juvenile response. What fuels this story is the repeated denials and lies from the Trump campaign. If they would just come clean and tell everything they know the story would go away. Provided everything was innocent, they have nothing to worry about.
This already happened in October when the FBI, CIA, NDI all flatly stated there was no “Russian story”. This was fabricated by the Clinton suckup media and they lost, but need to continue to hate “Us” (real Americans, not Marxist globalists like the Dems).
Suckup media is a mild term for LYING MEDIA!
The only thing fueling this is bias MSM and demotard cry babies, how mean times u have to be told the same thing ooooo you can not fix stupid
You,Vincent, are walking,talking,living,breathing proof that you cannot fix stupid.
WHY DON’T YOU GO BURN SOMETHING YOU LEFTIST DEMOTARD
can your brain comprehend a question ? And it takes a person with and IQ no higher than there shoe size to call a person a liar when they can’t even understand what the question is. Your just one dumb hater plain and simple. But one thing for sure, the next 4 years of hating your sure to be doing, is gonna be a cake walk for you compared to the next 4 years after that Cause we gonna re-elect him again . You people are just to damn dumb to get back in power. Your actions & behavior shows everyone that. Who wants a leader that acts like yall ? No one in there right mind !!
Happy days are here again; 8 years of President, I said President Trump!!!
I know you were Mark I was replying to Eric P. posting.
Eric democrat’s are good with lie’s to deflect attention in another direction.
Just like it’s juvenile to play “Gotcha” games like the Democraps and lamestream media.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is running in overdrive! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a11e0c8747a0f6d0c793a3e067925175cc4d2c3fe0890f4279831705f4c243f0.jpg
This should be hung over Hillary’s bed. Maybe she’d come clean; just like Lady MacBeth she’ll never get the blood off her hands.
What fuels this story is repeated lies by the liberal media and people like you. It’s hard to come clean on something that never happened. Liberals need to keep it up because this will assure more victories in congress come 2018. Meanwhile we finally have a president in office that loves this country and is trying to undo the damage perpetrated on the American citizens for the last eight years.
How about ; if the Clinton Cartel comes out with the truth about Obama using his Presidential powers to aid the Hillary campaign. Like free Presidential flights to Hillary’s rallies?
Since Hillary was predicted to be the winner, of course the Russians would meet with her campaign and continue to donate to the Clinton Foundation. Putin likely favored Hillary because he was expecting to acquire more US uranium. Then after she lost, the crooked liar turned it all around that President Trump was involved with the Russians. This wicked witch takes a licking and keeps in ticking to quote a Timex ad.
Hillary started the crap early in her campaign ,that Trump had ties with Russia . Now that it comes out Hillary had ties everyone is silent , WHY ????
Because most of the US Press are communist leaning, and don’t project positive ideas of the conservatives. I was a young Democrat for John Kennedy in the 1960 election campaign; but today’s Demorat party is not the Democrat Party of Jack Kennedy. It is an in bedded self serving money maker for rich cynical Rats such as Nancy (poor me, with millions) Pelosi, Al Franken (a not so funny comedian), Hillary ( the gangster) Clinton and many other RICH (They have and control MILLIONS OF DOLLARS), but to hear it from them they’re just middle class slobs (that’s what they think of us – the great unwashed.) The Demorats tell us how they have our welfare at heart; but, really they are growing their fortunes.
I know I thought one of our great Presidents was Harry Truman , he was all for America and our Citizens ,He has probably turned over in his grave as the Communists took over the Democrat party and a couple of RINO”s like John McCain !! the song bird!
Yep and McCann and Graham should be ousted from the Republican party. They are traitors to the conservatives especially the present administration. They go on all the idiot stations and bad mouth the President as well as the administration. Term Limits!
People must be getting a kick out of wiping mccain’s ass for him. He surely can’t do it himself any longer..
KUDOS, and take a hard look at Ryan.
McShame the traitor–no hero. Should never have left Vietnam. The one-armed bandit.
Mc Cain, a true TURNCOAT.
He needs to go! He is a Demoncrap, not even a RINO.
Learn a little, Truman was the cause of the Korean and Vietnam wars. He negotiated those countries into split countries with the communists. What he should have done was let the USSR impose their form of government on one and allow the US to install a government sympathetic to us in the other. Both wars would have been avoided.
I was in the Korean war and was in Korea in 1950 , The UN devided Korea as they had declared war on Japan at the last minute , just before we dropped the 2 A- bombs on Korea ,We ere loosing a lot of good men , McArthur might have won but he spent his time in japan while we went North in temps of 30 to 55 below Zero , I know ihave read many things , but it was Chinks that were coming at us , Like about 120,000 to our 30,000 and we lost or missing 15,000 good men , We did not need the UN then or do we need them today ! , Truman had many tough desicians , remeber Berlin Air Lift and the A- bombing , we did warn the people what was to happen !
Pete,
Sorry, but Korea and Vietnam, Republic of.. were a lot more complicated than one Presidents’ folly. I bow to Mr. Shick concerning Korea, and Vietnam was more the fault of the French than anything else.
You just described the Trump cabinet, Mark. Are you really that delusional?
NO he is totally on the mark.Not only are you the delusional one but your defllection of his comment was comedy at its best.Nice try though maggot.Oh and I couldn’t help but BLOCK you.See ya, flybait
I couldn’t agree more. The old Blue Dog Democrats are long gone, replaced by a bunch of Communist/Socialist who literally are out to destroy America, and anyone who actually believes this bunch isn’t the most heinous political criminals since the conception of this country are either Communist or just plain stupid. They are so transparent, blatantly lying time and again, especially telling Americans the attack on Benghazi was the result of a lame movie that came out months before with not one Muslim knowing what it was about. BO and Hillary continued the lie, the Marxist Media allowed it as their job was to protect BO and Killary and his Regime from being exposed for the enemies they were to our country.
She was the first to raise the birther issue too.
McCain did not ask for instant Proof on that at the time.
Because it’s a great big ‘double standard’ – There have been so many top officials saying President Trump ‘does not’ have ‘ties’ with Russia, what more do these corrupt Democrats need??? They (know) that he is (not tied) to the Russians, they’re attacking President Trump just to be nasty and hateful, that’s (who) they (are.)
killary is the one who owes Putin and not just for the $50 million.
To get to the truth with Killary and BO, you actually have to listen to what they say, then believe the complete opposite is true.
To Retired,
I know your comment was a rhetorical statement and you, along with everyone else with a normally functioning brain and sufficient intellect know exactly why nothing is being said about the Clit. They have all retreated to their sanctuaries, and have pulled their pink pussy hats close around their heads so they don’t have to listen to the truth about their savior. Added to that is the fact that the majority of news outlets subscribe to the liberal left mentality and can’t admit they were misled.
You got that straight .
Better yet, “A bad penny always rolls back!”
You are correct except for “keeps on ticking” part…The clinton’s, The clinton crime cartel, the corrupt clinton foundation…etc. are ALL TOAST !!!… Jail the crooked, corrupt, criminal felon…witch. That’s exactly where she belongs
You got that right, if anyone else had done 1/2 of what that witch has done, they would be put in prison for the rest of there lives…
True Gary ….. but she could not have gotten away with it if it was not for the stupid American people. Half of this country is bringing us down because of ignorance , apathy , big government parasites, special interests,etc. The hard working silent majority should have turned the establishment upside down instead of sitting back and letting the handful of loony left make all the noise.
It’s the Saul Alinsky rule: Attack your opponents for whatever crimes you commit yourself. It’s the Democrat Bible. Sick!
True and right out of the CLINGSTONES Arkansas PLAYBOOK.
but who would want to lick that ?
Why would the Clinton Crime Cartel NOT want to talk to Putin operatives, and vice versa!!!
They sold 20% of our purified uranian, gave them the middle east to the Kremlin…Shads of the HItler-Chamberlain deal.
Hitlary had promised to disarm America, retreat from the world, and reduce the USA to a “banana republic”!
Bathhouse Barry promised Medvedev in 2012 pretty much anything once stupid Americans made him president again….
Your answer is right on…
Why does Our (free?) press avoid these facts as well as the “open mike” aside Obama made tp Putin?? Questions any real journalists would ask.
Because THEY ALL work for soros. He tells them what to do. A well trained SNIPER could fix that, if we could just find one..
Clintons and Poloski met with Russians as well as Schumer… Get the FBI out and rolling on a complete investigation immediately now ! Oh wait they only do that to Republicans and conservatives. Dems are a total disgrace to the human race,all of them.
Amen to that!

Wow, a raging, narcissistic Communist and the President of Russia, sharing a donut!
That’s freaking great…lol
This is all a rouse by the DNC to try to deligitimize the Trump admin. Watch what happens now. Since Hillary got caught with her hand in the cookie jar, and it looks bad for the DNC, they will want to drop the investigation. It is not hard to understand what they are doing? They are trying to set Trump up with a scandal just like Hillary had hanging over her head for the whole campaign. They know there is no evidence. They know Sessions did nothing wrong. They don’t care. They don’t care about what hurts the American people. They only care about what benefits their agenda.
the half breed and his cronies are still trying to destroy the US
Halfling, he’s no highbred!
Yes, and the little bastard is living no more than 4 blocks from the white house, scheming and planning with his refugees (army) for his dicktastership. When is someone going to help him and the rest of the liberal crooks to get to Gitmo??
COMMON SENSE, That Russia will hold talks with both the Hillary Camp, and the Trump Camp, after all there are so many problems existing between the two countries. It is another reason why the GOP will make a better job in dealing with the problems that exist throughout the world. The Dems. tend to act first and negotiate afterwards, and act rashly at that. A sensible person talks first.
PESCOV had to inject the sense in the Democrats paranoia about Russia / Putin involvement in the USA elections.
They still cannot come to terms with their defeat, and neither can some GOP’s ‘wannabies” about Trump’s victory over them.
ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC & CNN
ZERO COVERAGE
Typical for the dishonest, open border, Socialist loving leftstream media.
Did get good coverage on FOX NEWS.
The left or wrong side of US politics is on a downward spiral to nothingness. Their constant crying and lying is like an infant’s trying to get attention. When will the ‘you can have it, without earning it crowd,’ ever learn that the Democrats make promises they never intend to keep! The old Bible saying; ‘Give a man a fish, he can eat for a day; Teach a man to fish he can eat forever!’ Holds true to this day; good employment mean a good life.
She also got millions for our uranium donated to the Clinton Library while she was SOS. She should be thrown in jail for her part in that. She also should be in jail for sending top secret information over a non secured site which is a criminal act.
You have Putin’s word on that!!
This is hogwash and it is really scary that people actually believe it.
CHIT – she took enough money from them – her and podesta…..
Anyone running for President in this day and time of international affairs would be wise to meet with leaders of other nations to exchange ideas. Clinton however, probably was more of the mentality of “How can you help me get elected” rather than discussions of world affairs. Yeah, it isnt very hard for me to get inside her head.
Fareed probably crapped all over himself when he heard that. Not suppose to expose anything bad about Hillary on CNN. Does Fareed still have a yob?
What’s the old saying?….I believe it is that— “birds of a feather stick together”.
………And we decided to help Trump there and them. That woman knew too much to fool with
With Trump….if he turns on us, we have the Golden Shower video
Besides Comrade Trump likes golden trinkets like we Russians do
Socialism, communism, collectivism—–they are working in the same way to control people!
How freakin stupid can one Libtard be…Really ???…is rachel maddcow…the lead Libtard Moron from msnbc fake news really that Stupid?… in her attempt to boost ratings for the bottom feeding, floundering agency… she reports she has President Trump’s tax return… Then it quickly proceeds to backfire in her face as it only shows President Trump paid more taxes than obama, romney. and nbc’s parent company…comcast……..What a Huge and Ignorant BLUNDER…Just more Libtard Failure…They’re too stupid to realize it but they are putting their Libtard cohorts in hollyweird out of business with their nonstop Fictional bullshit entertainment… Makes our day !!!..Keep on comin with it…You ignorant Morons
I agree with Authur Alex, Erndo,Gary Von Neida and all the rest of these posts. But,come on folks. You should know by now that if the Demorats do it,it’s acceptable and if the Republicans do it it terrible and Trump should be impeached. I wonder if Trump can undo the sale of 20% of our uranium Killery sold to Putin?
Ah but what did they talk about ?
As Secretary of State, Hillary, did a pay-for-play deal with the Russians. She SOLD THEM NORTH AMERICAN URANIUM FOR THEIR LARGE DONATIONS TO THE CLINTON FOUNDATION. They will make lots of nukes with that uranium and some could destroy American cities. A real American NOT. She should be put in jail or sent to Russia. http://www.ifactit.com/
This is what I have been saying all the time. This is something that happens in every election. Both major candidates have reps meeting with foreign governments before the election and the winner after the election. We learned this in civics class back in the 70’s. Putin probably wanted Hillary as she would be easier to blackmail but would rather work with Trump as then he would get what was promised.
Not everything that happens is newsworthy. A lot of what happens is “accidental.” Not everything that is said during a political event of any kind is carefully thought out and tailored. Not every “bugging” is planned by one of the participant’s campaign staff and you can be sure that the principals did not direct it because the participant must retain plausible deniability, nor does the participant candidate need to “direct” things that may look bad sooner or later. As Roosevelt (FDR) is said to have said: It doesn’t matter what I want done, there are two hundred people who wilt gladly do it. (And probably nearly as many trying to think these things up.) These comments apply to everything that happens during a political campaign. Somebody is checking everything that either candidate says and there is a lot said. I even doubt that either candidate “deliberately” lies.
So…I did not want the USA to “support” the rest of the world. “Socialism” in all its forms is probably on the road to obvious failure. When Marx was doing his research, the idea of intelligence was very crude. The clever will always figure out how to succeed and how to improve the world they live in. (They also know that a “failed” world is a poor place to live and will try to make the world a good place for them to live…as well as everyone else.) It is likely that the world will never be a place of “equality” as long as people must do the work.
5th day – same old story – Last Fall everybody knew that the HILL-BILLY Team met with Russia and made a lot of money off it tool. With everything happening in the World – how about some news?
I AM SO SICK OF THIS CRAP, WHY CAN’T WE JUST MOVE FORWARD, THIS IS ALL HISTORY, ONE MINUTE AGO IS HISTORY SO IS ALL THIS RUBBISH!
