Good that the State Dept will have a rep there. Who knows? Might be some Russian LGBT athletes who want/need asylum in the U.S. Especially if they have adopted children who might be wrenched away from them by the Russian govt. I hope and pray it's not too late to get some of those families out. Good god, the fear they must be enduring! Breaks my heart.
