The Russians are...already here and left

Last week,Trump intelligence officials held undisclosed meetings with each of the respective heads of the three major Russian intelligence services here in the US, at the same time. Apparently a rare event that we didn’t learn about till days later when it was talked about on RUSSIAN news services:

Sergey Naryshkin, who is under U.S. sanctions according to the Treasury Department, held talks with U.S. officials that included the "joint struggle against terrorism," Russia's ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, told Russian television.


Naryshkin is banned from entering the US but was here none the less and no explanation is forthcoming from State Dept or anyone else.

Conspiracy theories abound but no actual answers are being made available to fill that void.

Thank goodness Reuters gets stories from Russia and translates them for us or we would never know about any of this.

The inspiration for the OP, I didn’t see anything else on it so I did a little digging and decided to post it.
