Russian spy chief paid undisclosed visit to Washington despite being on U.S. blacklist

Russia's SVG (Foreign Directorate) head Sergey Naryshkin

Senate Democrats expressed outrage Tuesday at reports that the head of Russia’s foreign intelligence service visited Washington recently despite being on a U.S. government blacklist that prohibits many dealings with him. The Russian Embassy in Washington said via Twitter that Sergey Naryshkin, who heads the Russian intelligence agency known as the SVR, was in Washington last week for “consultations” with his American counterparts “on the struggle against terrorism.” The embassy cited a report in the state-controlled Russian news agency, Tass.

“This is a serious national security issue,” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said. “Russia hacked our elections. We sanctioned the head of their foreign intelligence. Then the Trump administration invites him to waltz through our front door.” Naryshkin, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s, is one of several senior Russian military and intelligence officials, as well as business executives, who have been sanctioned by the Treasury Department as punishment for Russia’s actions in Ukraine, cyber attacks and meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections. The sanctions mean any assets Naryshkin might have in the U.S. would be frozen and American persons and companies are prohibited from doing business with him.

One of Putin's top spymasters - who is under US sanctions - jets in and visits with Trump administration officials last week. After that visit, the Trump administration refused to impose additional sanctions on Russian government officials and oligarchs despite CIA chief Mike Pompeo saying that Russia continues to cyber-attack the US and will undoubtedly meddle in the 2018 US midterm elections.

That kind of blacklisted just means you can’t enter without a waiver. We give out that kind of waiver from time to time when we think it is in our best interest, such as discussing counter-terrorim. This kind of thing happened under all 3 prior administrations I served under.

The point is this Russian Spy Chief visited the white house and THEN the Trump admin decided not to impose the sanctions on Russia. Anyone can see the visit and proceeding action are highly dubious together.

It does look shady. And I have a HUGE problem with Trump refusing to enact the sanctions that Congress passed and that he, the President, signed into law. That actually bothers me more than 95% of the things Trump is accused of doing.

1: Last I knew our election was not hacked. The DNC was hacked, but as far as I know that was the only thing hacked. I'm sure Mr. Schumer can provide proof that the voting machines were hacked and numbers changed? Since that is the only thing that Russians could hack that would change the what happened on election day.

2: I'm also sure that Mr. Schumer can also provide proof that Trump's Administration invited this guy?

From the article:
Schumer said the Trump administration should disclose with whom Naryshkin met in Washington, who accompanied him and what they discussed.

Unless Trump, or someone in the Administration were the ones that saw this guy then this demand would be more appropriate of asking the NSA or CIA or some similar agency...assuming that they even had that information. So by making this demand the way that he did all that he is doing is pandering to the #NeverTrumpers by insinuating that this guy was allowed to see Trump. Something which he has no proof of afaik.
 
Smoking guns, here, there and everywhere.

I think the issue is the first in a long line of dominoes. The Russian election hysteria is a MSM engineered event supported by the MIC and the Deep State. Sanity may worm its' way back into our International reality.

Your source says, "...on a U.S. government blacklist that prohibits many dealings with him."

Not "prohibits all".

Not the end of the world, I don't think.

I mean, jeez! Was JFK a Russian stooge when he allowed Krushev to speak at the U.N.?

Lol. Who or what is a Krushev in your world? In Russian "krushev" means a person who clears the land.

You don't know who the head honcho of Russia was in the early 60's? Even if I spelled his name wrong?

Funny how you're familiar with Russian, huh? Getting redeployed home, soon?
