House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday that she’s never met with the current Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak.
“Not with this Russian ambassador, no,” Pelosi told POLITICO’s Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer during a Playbook interview, when asked whether she had ever met with the Russian envoy.
But a file photo from Pelosi’s 2010 meeting with Russian President Dmitriy Medvedev shows Kislyak at the table across from Pelosi — then House speaker — and Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). Medvedev had been in the country for a meeting with President Barack Obama a day earlier and stopped in on Capitol Hill to meet with congressional leaders as well.
Asked to square Pelosi’s comments with the photo of the meeting, a spokesman said Pelosi simply meant she never had a solo meeting with Kislyak.

She’s hardly the only Democrat meeting such Russians. There are photos of plenty of them.
There are half a dozen men sitting at that table, who says she knew who most of them were. Go to a chasunah and sit at your table, chances are you don’t know some/many of the other people there, the photographer comes by snaps a picture. Because you’re in the same picture means you know Yankel?
And neither did sessions
What a hypocrite
