    Reports: Kushner Had Multiple Undisclosed Conversations With Kislyak, Discussed "Back Channel" Comms.....


    On Thursday, reports surfaced that the FBI was looking into meetings that President Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, had with a Russian banker under investigation in the US and with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak.

    On Friday, the Washington Post reported that Kushner had been involved in a December 1 or 2 meeting at Trump Tower between former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Kislyak in which the prospect of setting up a "back channel" communication channel between the Trump transition team and the Kremlin was discussed.

    The Post said its sources were "US officials briefed on intelligence reports," and that a former US senior intelligence official admitted that Russia, if it suspects a line is monitored, will sometimes feed false information through that channel to confuse US analysts, but that there was no clear benefit for Kislyak to feed false information at that time. He added that the idea “seems extremely naïve or absolutely crazy.”

    Reuters also reported that "Officials familiar with intelligence on contacts between the Russians and Trump advisers said that so far they have not seen evidence of any wrongdoing or collusion between the Trump camp and the Kremlin. Moreover, they said, nothing found so far indicates that Trump authorized, or was even aware of, the contacts" and that "there may not have been anything improper about the contacts.".....snip~

    This was up in the other Kushner thread. Early like Page 6......yet for some reason the leftness carried the thread for another 20 pages thinking they could get around Reuters reporting. All due to that Trump tunnelvision and TDS they are infected with.

    When the leftness gets Debunked....and their Source such as WAPO gets humiliated by a Real News Agency. It should be enough for the leftness to figure out. That they made more out of what was actually there.

    Still those on the Right shouldn't keep falling for these tactics by the left. Especially when the lefts talking point has been crushed.

    So talking to who ever YOU consider a enemy is treason.

    God almighty, you've gone of the rails.

    Look it up in a LEGAL dictionary to find the relevant legal definition. (I included it in the post you quoted, but you clipped it out.)

    here it is again:

    "ENEMY (international law). By this term is understood the whole body of a nation at war with another. It also signifies a citizen or subject of such a nation, as when we say an alien enemy. In a still more extended sense, the word includes any of the subjects or citizens of a state in amity with the United States, who, have commenced, or have made preparations for commencing hostilities against the United States; and also the citizens or subjects of a state in amity with the United States, who are in the service of a state at war with them. Salk. 635; Bac. Ab. Treason, G."

    The investigations are still underway.........Two in congress, FBI, and the Special Prosecutor all under a GOP controlled three branches. I'd say there is a lot of there, there...:). Patience is a virtue.

    Nope, no.....evidence and CNN even admits it.


    Watch: Former WH Chief Of Staff John Sununu Destroys CNN Over Their Russian Collusion Coverage.....

    Former White House Chief of Staff and New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu got into a heated exchange with CNN’s Alisyn Camerota about the network’s coverage of the investigation into whether Trump officials colluded with the Russians during the 2016 election. Camerota asked Sununu about top Trump aide Jared Kushner’s reported attempt to secure a back channel with Russians. Is Mr. Kushner is a target of the Russia probe? We don’t know. Has he been accused of any wrongdoing? No. He hasn’t. But he met with the Russians so cue the outrage, the rumors, and stuff about treason—all of which is utterly ridiculous in the absence of evidence.

    In this supposed scheme to secure a back channel, Mr. Kushner is said to have had a meeting with a Russian banker with ties to Vladimir Putin to make this thing happen. Camerota asked about motivations behind the meeting after Sununu loudly declared that he doesn’t think there’s anything there.

    “So, why would they meet?” asked Camerota. Well, let’s say this back channel story is true; Fox News’ Catherine Herridge has a report disputing the claim. Back channels are not unusual. It’s happened under Obama, with the former president reaching out to Iran and Russia. Sununu also added that everyone involved in business and politics tries to meet with as many people as they can during the ten-week presidential transition period.

    Camerota asked if Sununu would have “carved out time” to meet with a Russian banker with ties to Putin, which Sununu couldn’t answer because it’s an absurd hypothetical.

    “You’re asking hypotheticals on hypotheticals,” he said. Camerota said she was just trying to gauge his comfort level with all of this information about Russia, to which the former Bush chief of staff said, “The only discomfort I have is with folks in the media trying to create a venality without having the courage to specifically tell me what the venality I should be concerned about is.”

    “Well, you should be concerned if there was collusion,” Camerota said, but Mr. Sununu wasn’t finished.

    “I don’t have evidence of collusion. Do you?” he said.

    “No,” responded Camerota.

    Nothing criminal has been found, no evidence of collusion has been found, and again back channels are not unusual. This is getting more embarrassing by the day.....snip~

    The OP: Derp a durp, is setting up a diplomatic back channel a act of treason?

    Other poster: when did Russia become our established enemy?

    The OP: Derp a durp, Could be as the definition doesn't say they must be at war to be an enemy.

    The actual ****ing law:
    18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason
    Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

    What kind of leaks from the Deep State?
    Were they planning on doing something illegal?
    If not, what does it matter if people know what they are doing?
