Are they stupid or just evil?..Yes.
If that's their goal then Harry Reid and John Boehner are not the ones I would have picked.

And do what?
See what the Russians have to say.
They can have back channel discussions, which is what I think the Ruskies wanted but they should not be meeting in an official manner. The democrats were doing this out in the open when Bush was president and it was wrong.
I'm not sure what they would have to say that we don't already know. And the group you mentioned are already against Obama's war so I don't know what they could accomplish.
For one, they wouldn’t have been making imaginary red lines and then claimed they never did in the first place.
The current occupant is certifiable. (which most likely is the ONLY thing for which he has credentials)
