Senior adviser to President Donald Trump Kellyanne Conway told “Fox and Friends” Tuesday that son-in-law Jared Kushner had every right and responsibility to set up a secret backchannel with Russia. In fact, “back channels like this are the regular course of business,” she said citing senior military advisors.

“Back channels like this are the regular course of business and that’s really all that we know,” she said.

Conway refused to comment.

“Because there is no reason to, frankly,” she said. “This entire thing is just a rush to judgment. We have been talking about this for about 8 months and yet … it’s a lot easier to scream Russia, Russia, Russia every day.”

4. Definitely not in the normal course of business during BHO's presidency; besides, at any rate, Jared

wouldn't be authorized to "hide" communications pre or post-inauguration, especially with Russia.

It is in the normal course of business for the president and/or high-ranking officials -- Jared is neither. So why was he needing to hide Russian communications pre-inauguration.

3. Not "like this"

This was far more like the Iran Contra arrangement. It was apparently designed to NOT be detected by American Intelligence. It would have been heavily dependent upon Russian intelligence however.
