WASHINGTON — Sergey Kislyak, Russia's ambassador to the United States and a key player in his nation's interference in the 2016 elections here, is being recalled by his government, according to a report released Sunday.

Citing three unnamed sources, BuzzFeed News reported that Kislyak is scheduled to leave Washington next month, following a July 11 going-away party for him at the St. Regis Hotel, just two blocks away from the White House. 

Kislyak, 66, had been reported to be heading to New York to lead Russia's delegation at the United Nations. His return to Russia will mark the end of his 10-year tenure as Russia's leading diplomat to the United States and makes him another casualty of the growing controversy over the Russian activity.

Kislyak has been a key figure in the growing investigation by a special counsel and multiple congressional committees into Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election that put President Trump in the White House.

3. what this really means...

Kislyak is being watched to close by the US now and he simply can't collude easily with 45's white house anymore. so they need to get him out and get someone new in that isn't as well known to the american public. this is russia basically ditching a car they used in a crime in favor of a different one the police won't be looking for.

4. RIP Kislyak then.

Whenever the hell he was born, 19?? - The day after his plane lands in Russia, 2017.

5. Don't see Putin being angry at Kislyak, who ran a WILDLY successful intelligence operation.

Edited to add: As a reward, there will probably be a very nice Dacha waiting for him.

7. The UN job was supposed to be the reward... a ticket back to mother Russia is not a good sign

For Kislyak .... if he is very very lucky he will be assigned to a remote position somewhere in Siberia....
If he is less fortunate, he will be honored with a beautiful ceremony celebrating his long life...
which will have ended unexpectedly (?!)
after a faulty bannister gives way or
the shower stall tiles are found to have been unusually slippery....
