Shit, and all this time I thought he just had a passion for entertaining!
That's basically what this person seems to be suggesting. Like she just happened to be sitting there and Putin and all of his closest people were like, "let's go see who this lady is and what she's up to!"
I did not say it was a secret election interference meeting. Do not put words in my mouth. That's just dishonest.
Please name this particular group you think I work for beyond 'people who don't trust someone who sits at a dinner table with the dictator of Russia at a state celebration in Moscow for English-language Russian state TV.'
And you are putting words in my mouth again.
Please continue to have the conversation with the imaginary version of me you have invented because you will no longer be having one with me.
Try being honest next time. And if you want to know what someone thinks beyond what they're saying, ask them. Don't just tell them what they're saying because you'll probably be wrong.
You're arguing with antiyanks again, btw. Don't bother with any accounts made within the past few days as chances are it's just them on a new account. It's almost their 40th ban now.
Except it's not what I'm suggesting at all. I haven't suggested anything. I've posted what Stein has said happened, which she says was a dinner at a RT anniversary gala where Putin only briefly sat at their table, no introductions were made, and no English-Russian conversations happened. If you have evidence of something else happening there, as you seem to be suggesting, then provide it.
Ah, I see the problem. You aren't reading my posts. Let me help you:
I've read all of your replies. Why would I believe that happened without evidence? Have you proven that she's networked with Russians or Putin? Suggesting something might have happened isn't evidence of the thing happening.
Repeating things isn't providing evidence. As I've said in another comment, being at a dinner table with someone isn't evidence of collusion. Putin sitting at a table with someone, even if he's the one who chose to seat himself there, isn't evidence that that person is colluding with him. He's sat at dinner tables with Hillary Clinton. Does that mean Clinton is a Russian asset? You'd recognize that claim as absurd without evidence surely?
You're comparing the First Lady at a state dinner to this, which was a celebration of Russian state media's English-language propaganda channel.
Yep. You're a troll.
Oh, but as you've said, nothing has to happen at a dinner right? They could've networked outside of the dinner. In fact, Clinton has had many closed door conversations with Putin, whereas Stein hasn't spoken with him at all to my knowledge. See how disingenuous that is? And how it makes having a conversation about this a little difficult? As does calling me a troll because you have 0 evidence.
Clinton actually worked for the government therefore has reason to meet with the leaders of foreign nations.
Stein is a physician. I’m pretty certain Russia has doctors. She had no reason to be there among the others.
