    Default Jared Kushner wanted secret communications channel with Russia

    You might not need any fire if the smoke is suffocating. This is treason.

    Obama is treasonous according to many. Trump too, now Kushner. Somehow folks have a problem with the definition, Article III, Section III of the US Constitution:

    Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

    Not treasonous. But certainly not law abiding. Then again, it appears that anyone connected with the Trump family or administration is above the law.

    Well, when the president does it, that means it is not illegal.

    Kind of hypocritical of the left to give proven crimes a pass when it's a Dem, yet, want to convict on an allegation if it's a Republican. I must have THAT part of the US Constitution where it says the left is right no matter what.

    Not to mention Kathianne pretty much nailed it. Treason is a hard crime to prove in the best or circumstances. I don't think talking to a Russian qualifies as even a local misdemeanor. You people that sling around the words "impeachment" and "treason" need to educate yourselves before opening your mouths.

    Trump isn't going anywhere. You snowflakes can just continue to cream all over yourselves dreaming up conspiracy theories. Just don't complain when you get laughed at.

    Not enough information to make any conclusion. As the UK terror details were leaked, many sources are out to undermine the administration.

    If proven, which will take much time, if ever, the crime could possibly be espionage, not treason.

    Thinking Dems don't want Trump to go anywhere. Because the next option is a lot worse. Much better to allow Trump to continue to crumble the GOP ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.

    Once again, I'll go with McMaster until I have a reason not to.

    Trump National Security Adviser ‘Not Concerned’ With Latest Reports About Kushner

    National security adviser H.R. McMaster said Saturday that he is “not concerned” with a report alleging that President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, asked Russia’s ambassador about setting up a secret communications channel with the Kremlin.

    “We have backchannel communications with a number of countries,” McMaster said in a press conference in Italy.

    “What that allows you to do is communicate in a discreet manner so I’m not concerned.”

    Default OH, how foolish, and dumb the Liberals are today.

    I suppose. All of the typical, whining, hatred filled, insulted, offended, dumb, ignorant Liberals who believe the DAILY DOSE OF FAKE NEWS...Do not remember the RED PHONE,

    secret, direct line installed in the OVAL OFFICE during the LBJ years that connected the KREMLIN with the WHITE HOUSE.
    http://www.smithsonianmag.com/histor...house-1129598/
    This is nothing new. And since our PRESENT LEADER, PRESIDENT, CIC is concerned with protecting the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Logic, and common sense would seemingly dictate a DIRECT (SECRET)(PRIVATE) LINE.

    At least it's not a HILLARY "RESET" BUTTON
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.

    According to Politico, "McMaster told American reporters traveling with Trump at the G7 summit in Sicily that the U.S. frequently sets up backchannels to countries for discreet communications." While that is true, it's usually done with knowledge by a select few in the intelligence community. It is alleged that Kushner tried to by-pass normal channels and circumvent those who need to know. Then there is the matter whether or not he was doing it as a private/personal initiative, outside the scrutiny of federal agencies.

    Suck on this Pete!

    Even the FBI stated from the beginning that he wasn't a suspect of anything, and it was all part of their investigation, many ran with this story and are trying to press and make more of it than is there. Once again, not a peep of evidence that shows any wrongdoing whatsoever. Funny how that works, no evidence but lets go full force anyway - but when it was Hillary and others, with much much evidence, we were told it was nothing, out of line, a witch hunt, and the Dems and supporters scoffed and wanted nothing to do with it.

    The overwhelming majority of the accusations out there about Russia, Trump and Russia, and Trump whatever - are lame accusations and some literally just made up. That's why nothing has stuck. It's getting tiresome, and likely expensive. The good things behind the scenes are being ignored while much is being concentrated on fake scandals. One example - folks, at least on the right, wanted defunding of PP badly. And were pissed at Trump when it didn't happen in a recent funding/budget. But it was recently announced that he has put it on the table for the upcoming budget, so of course it's not a done deal - but it's barely getting a discussion anywhere, and certainly not here.

    DHS Secretary: A Backchannel Between Trump And Russia ‘Not A Bad Thing’

    WASHINGTON ― The secretary of homeland security defended on Sunday reports that President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and close adviser Jared Kushner discussed establishing a secret backchannel between Trump’s transition team and Russian officials, claiming that it was “normal” and “acceptable.”

    “Any way that you can communicate with people, particularly organizations that are maybe not particularly friendly to us, is a good thing,” Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly told ABC’s Martha Raddatz. “It’s not a bad thing to have multiple communication lines to any government.”

    The report, published by The Washington Post late Friday, originated during a previously reported meeting between Kushner and Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak in December, before Trump became president. Also present at the meeting was former national security adviser Mike Flynn, who was fired earlier this year for lying to administration officials about discussing sanctions with Russia.
