A senior Russian lawmaker has dismissed the testimony of former FBI Director James Comey as insignificant.
Comey, who testified before a Senate committee on Thursday, asserted that President Donald Trump had fired him to interfere with an investigation of Russia’s ties to the Trump campaign and reaffirmed the intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia meddled in the election.
Alexei Pushkov, chairman of the information policy committee at the upper chamber of the Russian parliament, late on Thursday dismissed Comey’s testimony as a “big bubble,” adding that it “will not help Trump’s adversaries to start impeachment proceedings.”
Russian officials have vehemently denied any role in hacking attacks on the Democratic National Convention and voter-registration databases.

1. The headline refers to a pro-Kremlin lawmaker, which sounds to me like a US Member of Congress or Senator. The article is about a member of the upper chamber of the Russian parliament. It’s no shock, not even news, that he is “pro-Kremlin.”
2. The pen in the picture of, I guess, the member of Russian parliament looks like the kind of pen I receive from time to time in mail from the World Jewish Congress. Is he on their mailing list? Is he a contributor?
