The team was early in the early stages of transition in december. What would make more sense at that this stage. To transition into the many complex areas of government or to talk about syria to someone without security clearance? Kushner's first reason for establishing a back door was to talk to russia about syria. I find it hard to believe that anyone that early on in the transition process and without an official position was briefed on syria. It seems more likely to me that it was related to finances. Then there's still that pesky detail that you didn't catch about kushner conveniently forgetting about his multiple russian contacts omitted on his security application. It's a felony, but he's part of the family so that's supposed to be okay right? These are sketchy people with multiple conflicts of interest. The way trump is alienating our allies and praising dictators seems like an intentional attempt to undermine our country to me. Something that would make putin very happy. Lets get to the truth however long it takes. Always country first.

It's Trump's administration that is sinking into a pit of dubious Russian contacts.

Sore topic I know. Hypocrites scurry from the truth faster than a cockroach from light.

And trolls twist the truth to suit their own paid agenda. Yawn. You're getting boring with the same empty fact less rhetoric. But Hillary. That's laughable.

It's just all made up hoopla designed to fool the meatheads.

Yes, but understanding the proper protocol and working with the intelligence agencies is the key. We have a secretive president that won't be transparent about his business dealings and a son in law that was alleged to have tried to open up a back door to the Kremlin while Trump had not been sworn in and while he had no specific position in the white house. The optics are indeed disturbing. So is the new buzz that he may lift the sanctions on the Russian's and give them back their residences that Obama took away in retaliation for interfering in our election.

There is talking to Russia and there is talking to Russia. Doing so with the blessing of the intelligence community is the right way. Doing it in a secretive manner, quite another thing.

Wandering off topic? I was completely on topic. The administration doesn't need permission from anyone to talk to foreign leaders. Now do YOU want to stay on topic or wander around aimlessly?
