From Washington Post<\/a>: <\/font>Russian government officials conferred with members of Donald Trump\u2019s campaign team, a senior Russian diplomat said Thursday, a disclosure that could reopen scrutiny of the Kremlin\u2019s role in the president-elect\u2019s bitter race against Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

The statement came from Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who said in an interview with the state-run Interfax news agency that \u201cthere were contacts\u201d with the Trump team.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we know most of the people from his entourage,\u201d Ryabkov said.<\/p>\n

There’s the proof. Not only is Herr Reichsfuhrer Drumpfenfarten (R-#NotMyPresident) is Putin’s dog, but also, he seditiously conspired with a foreign government to hoodwink US voters.<\/font><\/p>\n
