The Kremlin announces another trip by Republicans senators being planned for August. Wonder which senators will go and whether they will tell their constituents or wait for the Kremlin to reveal the details?

from what I'm able to read in that tweet. Not that it is definite.

The Russian Federation Council says of course. That doesn't mean it's a done deal. Is there a US news source that has this story?

I don't understand your last sentence.

16. This could very well be disinformation put out by the Russians.

Who is Olga Lautman? Why is there no confirmation in any US news media? A Russian legislator is your "confirmation"? Sorry, I'll wait to see a story in the American press about this "significant" tweet.

You can say you're inviting people to dinner; you can say that it can or may happen; you can confirm that of course you have planned it! Until your GUESTS confirm that they are coming, it's not a done deal.

If I'm arguing anything, it's that people shouldn't be so gullible, so ready to draw conclusions. It's a Russian story that is only hinting that something might or might not happen.

but he didn't mention field trips to Kamp Kremlin.

Let's see if this one catches the Corporate Media's short attention span.
