3. Did Huntsman organize this?

He is in the pics - only non-senator shown in the ones I have seen.

I think he is now the ambassador to Russia after years as such for China under Obama.

Always thought he was smarter than to put on a dog and pony show like this. Apparently craven like all the rest.

8. Huntsman's face in those photos screams surrender

4. And on the Fourth of July?

Maybe they thought no one would pay any attention to the news about them on that holiday.

5. No - how Putin and his cronies' money is spent - in the US

7. Except Thune

He's Conference Chair but not on Appropriations
