MISSING CONGRESSMAN STEVE STOCKMAN SAYS HE TRAVELED TO RUSSIA

by BRANDON DARBY & JONATHAN STRONG

AUSTIN, Texas—Missing Texas Congressman Steve Stockman told an associate he was headed to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin, according to an electronic communication reviewed by Breitbart News, and now says he is in London.

The new information offers tantalizing clues both to Stockman's whereabouts and purpose as speculation continues to build about his unusual absence in the weeks since launching a quixotic primary challenge to Senator John Cornyn.

Stockman broke his silence on the matter in a text message sent to Breitbart News at 3:26am central time.

“I am on a bipartisan codel. I'm on foreign affairs. Part of my work,” Stockman said, adding that he doesn't know why a Houston Chronicle reporter said “I'm missing” because “we met with the press every day.”

Stockman also said "I am in a meeting now - London."....

Maybe the trip to Russia is just a cover story and he was really hiking the Appalachian Trail.

He's coming back with evidence that will force Ubama to flee the country or face a firing squad.

The problem is a guy like this can get elected in a conservative House district but will get shredded by the national MSM and lose a statewide Senate race.

Who’s going to replace him in the district? I read he gave up his re-election bid in order to run for the Senate seat.

There are 12 candidates now in the primary for CD 36. It should be a
lock for whichever one wins the primary.

Look at the above link to CD 36 and there is a listing.

Lots of country club republicans from all over the country trolling this thread. Corny must be running scared.

I don’t want ‘em.

Not your state, you don't have to worry about it. You have all those strong conservatives out there in California representing you.

Stockman just has to take votes from Cornyn. There are other candidates besides Stockman. It's going to take all of them to keep Cornyn under 50%.

I really hope the Tea Party has the good sense not to back this guy. He’s got flake written all over him.

You failed to qualify your brash statement - which should have been followed by - 'IMO'. Personally I don't share your ill-informed opinion. IMO, the TP would do well to support Congressman Stockman at every opportunity. I know I will.
