A 'back channel' is nothing new. Other officials have had that. It's established in order to work toward a goal without political opportunists and the media interfering and messing up diplomatic discussions.

It doesn't automatically mean something nefarious is going on.

Mueller, being the partisan that he is, probably is not the best one to investigate this.

Making calls from the Russian embassy to avoid monitoring by U.S. intelligence is not "back channel." It's covert communication and if you have links about other U.S. officials doing this, please post.

Of course, it's nefarious. What possible innocent purpose(s) would there be to using the Russian embassy communication lines?

Mueller is far from partisan and widely regarded as a lawman of intelligence and integrity. Attempts to smear his good name have been promptly swatted down by Democrats and Republicans alike.

Might as well go back and get some other talking points. These ones are bogus.

Making calls from planet Earth pretty much guarantees monitoring by U.S. intelligence.
