Today we have the Mueller team and every liberal in Washington frantically searching for any shred of evidence of even the lowest-level contact between a Trump campaign official and someone in Moscow to work against Hillary Clinton in 2016. Well, here, in this May 1983 document, we have indisputable hard evidence — an actual KGB memo — communicating straight to Andropov a direct offer from Ted Kennedy.
The lead words atop the document: “SPECIAL IMPORTANCE.” The next words: “Committee on State Security of the USSR.” That’s the KGB. Then this stunning header: “Regarding Senator Kennedy’s request to the General Secretary of the Communist Party Y. V. Andropov.”
Was Reagan vulnerable anywhere? That was the launch point of the letter, namely: seeking and securing Russian involvement against Reagan. The 1984 presidential campaign was just around the corner.
Thus, said the KGB head: “Kennedy believes that, given the state of current affairs, and in the interest of peace, it would be prudent and timely to undertake the following steps to counter the militaristic politics of Reagan.”
In the memo, Chebrikov then delineated for Andropov a series of specific steps proposed by Kennedy to help the Soviets “influence Americans.” This included Kennedy arranging for Kremlin officials to meet with certain American media. Which media? The memo went so far as to directly name Walter Cronkite and Barbara Walters. Kennedy offered to help bring Soviet political and military officials to New York and Washington to connect them with friends in the press. And further, the memo included an offer from Kennedy himself to personally fly to the Kremlin to meet with Andropov.
All of this was pursued in the deliberate service of countering this “belligerent” Reagan. Besides, noted Chebrikov, “Kennedy is very impressed with the activities of Y. V. Andropov and other Soviet leaders.”

Teddy got a pass on murder so what’s a bit of treason to libs?
Treason is LIBs’ modus operandi...as is sedition.
It’s sickening how they get away with both among all the other stuff me or you would be in the klink or executed for.
Not that any sensible law abiding type would do that stuff.
Anyone else remember seeing dear old “Uncle Walter on the yacht with Bill and Hill as it sailed away after Bill admitted the affair with “that woman”—Monica Lewinsky scandal?
At the time, I was just becoming aware of how corrupt Kronkite was, and was surprised no one on TV questioned why he was on that yacht!
It was probably HIS YACHT! He was a prominent yachtsman.
I have no doubt in my mind that, Teddy was actually looking for the Russians to do what they do best against their enemies, namely, assassination of whoever got in their way. That “attempted” assassination against Reagan: did anybody do deep research on who, what, when, where, how?
the issue is never the issue
Stalinists lie. Always
