Jared Kushner and Russian ambassador discussed creating a secret comm channel to the Kremlin

Hey, you left out something...

 

All Trump roads run through Kislyak. I guess these knuckleheads didn't consider that we've been buggin that motherf#cker for years. When he went back to Moscow and names like Manafort & Kushner were dropped, US IC was all over it.

 

Bears guys, get the symbolism right. Tigers would be for Southeast Asia...

 

Smoke!!!

Just watching it now on Rachel. Its getting really fascinating.

 

Jared just wants to make Russia America great again.

 

I'll say it.

Treason.

 

They're on tape colluding with a foreign power against the USA. Absolutely treason. I don't see how there's any grey area here.

 

Poppy Trump will just pardon his son-in-law.

Problem solved!

Right?

 

There's not. I wonder if the concern level of the GOP will be elevated or not.

 

1) Trump stated repeatedly during the campaign that he hoped to have better relations with Russia.

2) This allegedly took place after the election. I =

3) There is nothing illegal about Kushner talking with the Russians.

Yawnnnnnnnnn. People are really starting to tune this crap out other than the haters who wanna believe there is someone more there than there ever proves to be.

 

Unless it's treason:

The rest of the article is worth reading too. I found this passage intriguing as well:

I'm thinking maybe Kislyak sent the letter to the Post.

 

Well, Reuters is now reporting that the contacts preceded the election. Not that it really matters. "Back channel" contacts, especially when the administration isn't actually in office, is still a no-no.

James Fallows can be kind of brutal ...

Revenge of the IC. They may have individually voted for Trump out of some kinda dopey idea that Hillary was far worse for America. But now that they're putting the Trump/Russia puzzle together, they're scared for our sovereignty and are leaking like a sieve.

 

Trump's days are likely numbered. Now, whether this issue of a back-channel is actually treasonous or not remains to be seen. It's the intent of the channel that will determine that.

Back-channel comms are a part of life. We used them with the North Vietnamese, the Iranians, Cubans, etc.

 

Usually though, the IC sets them up, no?

 

It depends on how many Republicans stick with their base and decide that they weren't colluding against the USA, they were colluding against the Democrat party.

We'll see how many, or few, can put country above party for once.
