[QUOTE](Reuters) - Senator Dan Coats had a quick explanation for how he ended up speaking at the wrong hearing - the Russians made him do it.
The Indiana Republican went to what he thought was an appropriations hearing on the defense budget on Wednesday and was posing an appropriate question on that subject when someone handed him a piece of paper.
"I just got a note saying I'm at the wrong hearing," Coats said.
He had thought he was at meeting of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Subcommittee but instead was at a gathering of the Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee.
"I think the Russians have been messing with my schedule," he tweeted on Thursday.
Last month Moscow included Coats on a list of congressional leaders and White House officials banned from entering Russia in response to U.S. efforts to sanction Russia for taking over Crimea from Ukraine.[/QUOTE]
Its ALWAYS the Russians. No matter what.
shit how did he find out
Thanks Putin

It would seem so, actually.
is this proof they just spew bullshit 24/7?
If ya'll would read he made it clear that it wasn't an [B][I]actual[/I][/B] accusation of Russian interference. He's just poking fun at the recent serious situation.

You really can though. That tweet is the most obvious joke I've ever seen.

Yeah you can if you have a modicum of reading ability.

thanks moscow

Thanks Obama

Big reveal: Russians are secretly Canadians. Or the other way around, I forgot.
Don't tell anyone.
Oh no, Putin banned members of Congress and White House officials from going to Russia? What the hell are they missing out on? Beating gays in the street? Gulag tours? Russian Disneyland?
