13. Yes. I have to wonder what any ambassadors have to do

with the Republican Convention. There's something wrong with that, I think. Our elections should not include foreign ambassadors showing up to lobby at those conventions.

That's more troubling to me than the fact that Sessions talked to Ambassadors. That happens a lot, and is a fairly normal thing. But for a bunch of Ambassadors to be hanging out on the fringes of the GOP convention? That's passingly weird. And having a meeting hosted by the Heritage Foundation? What is that right-wing group doing hob-nobbing with the Russian Ambassador in the first place?
