Putin Spokesman: Russian Ambassador Also Met With Members Of The Clinton Campaign

In an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria broadcast on Sunday, Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed growing frustration with the inconclusive first two months of relations between Moscow and the Trump administration, which started off with hope for reconciliation and have instead devolved into a perpetuation of the Obama (and Hillary Clinton) imposed status quo. The election of President Trump, who had spoken approvingly of Putin and called for improved US-Russia relations, had raised hopes in the Kremlin. But Peskov - just like Syria leader Bashar al-Assad yesterday - said there are no signs of progress yet.

“Unfortunately, we don’t have a proper understanding of when this dialogue can begin,” Peskov told Fareed Zakaria (Peskov's take on the Trump administration begins 14:20 in the video below). "We certainly would expect our contacts to be more frequent, more in depth. We had quite a significant pause in our bilateral relations." Trump’s early campaign statements had initially led to speculation that the US would drop sanctions imposed on Russia for its interference in Ukraine, however that approach appears to have been indefinitely delayed following recurring allegations of proximity between the Trump campaign and Moscow. Furthermore, quoted by CBS Peskov said that "Russia will never initiate putting this issue on the agenda."

In an ironic twist, we reported last week that not Trump, but the Clinton-affiliated Podesta Group, run by John Podesta's brother Tony Podesta, had been retained by Russia's largest bank Sberbank CIB to "proactively seek the removal of various Obama-era sanctions" according to TASS. That particular story has yet to make US primetime news.

Peskov also said Putin never voiced support for then-presidential candidate Trump. “You would probably recall that President Putin, during election campaign, had never answered directly a question about his candidate of his support. He kept saying that we will respect a choice of American people,” Peskov told Zakaria.

The Kremlin spokesman, however, did concede that Putin preferred Trump over Clinton, saying, “If you ask him whether he had mentioned the then-candidate Donald Trump, I will answer, yes, he had.”

He also suggested that Putin found Clinton hostile toward Russia, while Trump was open to thawing U.S.-Russian relations. “The candidate Hillary Clinton was quite negative about our country in her attitude and in her program, declaring Russia being nearly the main evil in the world and the main threat for the United States,” Peskov said.

“And to the contrary, the other candidate, Donald Trump, was saying that, 'Yes, we disagree with the Russians ... in lots of issues, but we have to talk to them in order to try to find some understanding.' Whom would you like better? The one who says that Russia is evil or the one who says that, 'Yes, we disagree, but let's talk to understand and to try to find some points of agreement?'” he asked.

* * *

Touching on a more sensitive subject, Peskov denied any collaboration between the Russian government and President Donald Trump’s campaign, and said the U.S. is humiliating itself with its obsession over Russian meddling.

“The answer is very simple. No,” Peskov told Zakaria when asked about Russians colluding with Trump's allies last year. “And the fact that Russia is being demonized in that sense comes very strange to us. And we are really sorry about that, because this — the whole situation takes us away from the perspective of getting our relationship to a better condition.”

“We don’t know what’s the reason for these words. We’ve never seen any evidence, and we’ve never heard something trustful,” Peskov said. “What we have seen - an open, a public part - of a report by one of the agencies, speci

And did they also lie about it, like the Trump team? Because if they did that's suspicious.

Well, first let's see if the MSM makes a Big Fucking Deal about it. IF... IF... the DNC comes under pressure then we can get to see how they handle it. Dollars to donuts, tho, the MSM never "investigates" the "links" between Hillary and the Russians.

They're not going to make a big deal about it because it's not a big deal.

The only reason they're making a big deal about it with Trump is because it's Trump.

Zerohedge so didn't read.

They will change the context by adding, subtracting or spinning stories. They hide their identities SIG. They are dishonest. You quote them instead of the actual source of the story because you too are dishonest.

I'm pretty sure it's not fake news. As T said, the article was by zerohedge and was probably subject to a lot of negative spin. Clinton's people meeting with a Russian Ambassador before becoming President is one of the least objectionable things she's ever done in her career. Remember, at the time EVERYBODY was telling her that she was a shoe in for President, and she was also throwing out not-so-veiled threats of war with Russia.

I'm absolutely fascinated at how quick Russia has become the new Emanuel Goldstein. Even (and especially) if Russia is this great threat to Americans, why are diplomatic relations with them so bad? They could be a great ally in the wars in the Middle East for us. We've got a couple of huge oceans buffering us from that bullshit. It's all happening right in Russia's back yard.

Hillary staffers met with Russians.

So now we know why at least some of those 33,000 'personal' emails were scrubbed.

I'd say it was only because the Hillary campaign was planning this Russia-Phobia in the future. Unless there was any particularly damning stuff going on with her and Russia at the time, I don't think anybody would have been freaking out about it at all. It wasn't until Hillary and the MSM brought on this new wave hatred for Russia that even having a conversation with them brings about McCarthyism style talk.

Well, jeez then that means that those sneaky fucking Russians were hedging their bets by meeting with both presidential candidates.....

Oh, this is HOT NEWS...Sound the Alarm!!! Quick before Hilary is pardoned by Trump. As a matter of fact, I heard a rumor that Trump and Hilary were an item

lol... I was going to use that for Lenin in the other thread, but it didn't seem right. McCarthy was what was missing in that joke.

As for "Hillary Who?", I said that it was no big deal that Hillary met with Russians, and that was the least objectionable thing she probably did in her whole career.

I'm almost 40 SGG. Not only am I old enough to have seen Snake Plisken lead the US Hockey Team to victory over the Russians, but I went to school when they were still teaching kids how to read and do basic math.

US and Russia have not been enemies for the last several decades. That hasn't been true since the early eighties. We might not have been besties, but it wasn't until Hillary went around campaigning on WWIII threats that relationships have been more tense with them than they've been since before the Scorpions released Winds of Change.
