Picking his way through the Soviet archives that Boris Yeltsin had just thrown open, in 1991 Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times, came across an arresting memorandum. Composed in 1983 by Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB, the memorandum was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR. The subject: Sen. Edward Kennedy.
“On 9-10 May of this year,” the May 14 memorandum explained, “Sen. Edward Kennedy’s close friend and trusted confidant [John] Tunney was in Moscow.” (Tunney was Kennedy’s law school roommate and a former Democratic senator from California.) “The senator charged Tunney to convey the following message, through confidential contacts, to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Y. Andropov.”
Kennedy’s message was simple. He proposed an unabashed quid pro quo. Kennedy would lend Andropov a hand in dealing with President Reagan. In return, the Soviet leader would lend the Democratic Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. “The only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet-American relations,” the memorandum stated. “These issues, according to the senator, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign.”

Great find! Besides, there is a grand canyon wide difference between actually asking Soviets to sway the election and asking Russia to send Hillary’s ILLEGALLY deleted emails to FBI.
Sounds like treason to me.
But Kennedy is still dead, right?
I don’t want to take any chances....
Interesting.
Trump should demand that they press charges if they think he committed a crime. He should demand it in every speech.
Hey Donald, are you listening? We know you were tongue in cheek, but ole Chapaquitic Teddy actually plotted.
Democrats are Democrats first.
Being an American is way down on their list.
He is dead but still votes.
So, today’s Democrats are simply projecting. Again.
Bookmarked.
