In reply to the discussion: What the Fuck was the Russian Ambassador Doing at the Republican Convention ? [View all]louis c
(8,652 posts)64. Russian Ambassador Designated as Spy
Maybe after you know the difference between an "Ambassador" and a spy, and the difference between a meeting which resulted in a change in the Republican Party Platform from the norm, you can then stop being an apologist for Trump and Trump's associates' treason against the United States.
There is evidence that a quid pro quo was struck that resulted in the hacked emails of Hillary's to be released in a timely fashion that aided the Trump campaign for this substantial (and only) change to the RNC Platform. That's the point of the OP.
The fact that some twerp nobody Ambassador from Argentina also attended the conventions as some sort of spectator proves nothing but is a naïve attempt to give credibility to Trump's smoke screen.
Do you understand the difference now?
<snip>Current and former US intelligence officials have described Kislyak as a top spy and recruiter of spies, a notion that Russian officials have dismissed.<snip>
