1. How much did that coaxing cost Trump?

At this point, who wouldn't take the money and run like hell?

2. Reporters: Please ask Sec. Kelly and others in the Trump Administration this

question: WHY is Jared establishing a back channel with Russia a "good thing" for the USG?

3. Jared was a private citizen concealing communications with a hostile country.

6. If it was a good thing why did he omit it from his SF 86

And is it a good thing to use Russia's communications apparatus?

7. Hillary's emails the end of the world as we know it

Republican espionage against America = a good thing...right wing logic.

Obviously Homeland security has been comprised by Putin as well as the White House.

8. What a toady.

9. And, heck, communicating from a room at the Russian embassy would just be a convenience.

10. "Nobody could have anticipated......" another quisling in support of Trump/Kushner. It wasn't a mere

(!) "back channel":

Jared sought a secure line IN THE RUSSIAN CONSULATE, FGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11. didn't he want to use Russian tech and secure spots to avoid

US ( his own country's) Intel services? If so, that pretty much shows where his loyalties lie.
