    Exactly as we have been saying to the foamy-mouthed, TDS PS left, sine they first tried to pretend this was, somehow, a "GREVIOUS WRONGDOING", instead of the bullshit Fake News that it is.

    You guys get more unstable daily. But don't stop...it's FUN TO WATCH!!!
    Kind of like lemmings on crack...



    Homeland Security chief says back-channel talks with Russia would be 'normal...and acceptable'

    Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly came to the defense of Jared Kushner, saying it would be “both normal… and acceptable” to seek back-channel communications with Russia, but that if those communications used Russian equipment, that "would be considered to be … somewhat compromised.”

    President Trump[/a], talked with Russian Ambassador
    Sergey Kislyak in December, prior to Trump's taking office, about establishing a back channel for communications about Syria and other policy matters, sources told ABC News.

    Kelly told “This Week” co-anchor
    Martha Raddatz on Sunday that with countries such as Russia that are not allies of the U.S., any means of communication “is a good thing.”

    All communications gathered through a back channel would be “shared across the government, so it’s not a bad thing to have multiple communication lines" with any country, Kelly said.

    Raddatz pressed Kelly about whether it would be OK for these back-channel communications to be conducted using Russian diplomatic facilities, as, according to the Washington Post, Kushner sought.

    Kelly continued to insist that any line of communication “to a country like Russia is a good thing," but he said "using their equipment, you know, that ... would be considered to be, you know, kind of somewhat compromised."

    Hillary had a private server set up which MIGHT have compromised secure emails.

    "LOCK HER UP, LOCK HER UP"

    Kushner wants to use THE RUSSIAN'S OWN COMPUTERS to transmit top secret stuff.

    "Oh, perfectly acceptable, completely alright by us"

    You guys would be funny if you weren't so dangerous.

    There is no comparison. Hillary set up an insecure server in her bathroom and paraded state secrets that could have, and perhaps did, endanger people's lives. She also has a suspiciously long tail of "mysterious" deaths of people who could testify against her. There is also a very obvious problem with the intelligence community leaks.

    All military operations have backdoor channels as do all presidencies. That is why it is called "normal". Does not equal "insecure". Does not equal "collusion". Does not equal "criminal".

    You guys have such an illogical and immature view of how the world turns.

    After Mueller looks into this, I'll go with his assessment. Till then, it stinks BAD.

    And when we don't like Mueller's assessment? This is the greatest crisis of trust in government ever, either side you're on. And I wish there were something we could do to get us all on the same team again.

    It was the Russian Ambassador that suggested it.

    - Obama did it with Russia and Iran
    - Reagan did it with Iran
    - Teddy Kennedy did it while a Democrat to undermine Reagan

    All of the sudden... it's not allowed.

    Liberals... such revisionists that it hurts the common sense mind.

    NO ONE "lied about it". They were required to tell no one, in the 1st place, and not telling you something, is not lying.

    They left it off their security clearance docs. That's lying and they were required to disclose it

    Yes, the same FBI that you adored before they started sniffing through Trump's mountains of dirty laundry. That FBI.

    I guess that's why we write laws down, rather than making them up on the fly so we claim someone we don't like "violated" the "law" we just made up?

    Publishing laws... What a concept!
