Imagine the exchange.

gop senator: so our Senate Intel Committee confirms you interfered in our last election to elect putin's trump

lavrov: and?

gop senator: we just wanted to greet you personally so close to our Independence day celebration.

lavrov: welcome

gop senator: in light of this damning information, we'd like to meet putin since we flew to russia

putin: no time for that nonsense

of why the Republican's have not turned on Trump is that when the Russians hacked the RNC they hit pay dirt. The fact they all are now lining up to kiss Putin's ring makes me think the Russian's hit the motherlode.

It sounds like they slobbered all over the Russians and were still not allowed in to see Don's master. Every so often Kennedy (in the background) slips and utters the truth so maybe he'll show an iota of remorse for having gone.

Republican lawmakers come to Moscow, raising hopes there of U.S.-Russia thaw

MOSCOW — Republican members of Congress sounded a newly conciliatory tone in meetings with Russian lawmakers and officials here on Tuesday in a rare visit to Moscow and a preview of the looming summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.) told Russia’s foreign minister that while Russia and the United States were competitors, “we don’t necessarily need to be adversaries.” Later on at the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, members attending a plenary session greeted the Americans with applause.

“I’m not here today to accuse Russia of this or that or so forth,” Shelby told Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin. “I’m saying that we should all strive for a better relationship.”

The Republicans’ meetings in Moscow — coming after the lawmakers visited St. Petersburg and took in the ballet “Sleeping Beauty” — helped set the tone for the July 16 Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki. Their Russian hosts said they hoped the Americans’ newfound willingness to meet marked a turning point after years of almost no direct contact between lawmakers in Washington and Moscow.

To them, the Russians didn't interfere. To Republicans, the Russians "helped out."
