New Kushner-Russia Story Stokes Concern of West Wing Leakers
Polizette ^ | May 28, 2017 | Magaret Menge

Posted on 05/28/2017 9:22:26 AM PDT by AndyJackson

The latest claim stems from a supposed meeting that President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn had on Dec. 1 or 2 with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak. According to The Washington Post, U.S. officials who reviewed intercepts between Kislyak and Moscow saw that Kushner requested "a secret [communications] channel with Moscow rather than relying on traditional government systems."

...Interestingly, The Washington Post apparently received its tip about this story through an anonymous letter it received in December — whose full contents the newspaper has not revealed.

This obviously #fakenews was posted on the front page of Drudge.

There are two obvious problems

1. It is based, according to the COMPOST on an anonymous letter.

2. Why would Kislyak be communicating with Moscow on a non-secure channel? Kislyak is known as an ex-intel officer and certainly knows all unencrypted comms are monitored.

Still unable to find the statute that makes collusion a crime. Yeah, if it happened it looks crappy but then again, it only happened in podesta’s little pea brain. And spread to the msm assclowns.

I guess my question is so what? I’m far more worried about Hillary using an unsecured system than Kushner using a secure system. And the story takes the obvious question why do the bureaucrats care? Possibly because they planned to spy on Kushner?

So the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to steal the election...weeks after they had already won the election.

Smh.

No
Kislyak was consulted about mechanisms to set up back channel communication between heads of government
Which is normal and necessary
Even if your own government is not spying on you
Remember the days of “ the red phone” ?
Even McMasters gave this report a “ meh”

The only West Wing leakers that existed on December 1st/2nd was Obama’s West Wing.

It was reported by Chris Wallace this morning that an unnamed Trump administration source said it was Kislyak who suggested using a Russian secret channel. The source of the story that it was Kushner who requested using Russia secure channel came from surveillance of Kislyak’s communications.

Consider the political set up here by the Democrats. The Russians are now in the perfect position where they can bring down Trump by producing (fake) documents showing collusion with Trump. I suspect the Democrats are in really tight with the Russians.

Exactly! That's the reason WaPo did not use this “anonymous tip” until now. Even the lib pea-brains understood that it actually undermines the Russia/Trump collusion fairytale.

The Big Money Behind Fake News

FrontPageMag ^ | 05/26/2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 5/27/2017, 2:10:46 PM by ForYourChildren

What really powers the media’s fake news scandal machine.
Fake news is profitable.

The New York Times hit piece on the Comey memo earned the paper its most concurrent readers per second. Pretty good for a piece about a piece of paper that the leftist paper had never even seen and which was, supposedly, described to it by one of Comey’s associates.

But that didn’t stop it from racking up over 6 million views.

Media fake news isn’t just an agenda. It’s enormously profitable. Hit pieces powered by anonymous sources bring in over 100,000 readers in an age when live is king. For individual reporters, finding a source, real or fake, that can back up the left’s Trump conspiracy theories can put them on the map.

O’Reilly on Reports of Strife in the WH: ‘Fake’ News, ‘Crisis Is Being Manufactured’

breitbart.com ^ | 27 May 2017
Posted on 5/28/2017, 6:57:32 AM by Helicondelta

Thursday on his “No Spin News” podcast, Bill O’Reilly weighed in on CNN reporting that there was a crisis within the members of the White House.

According to O’Reilly, the supposed crisis is “fake” and is being “manufactured” by mainstream media to hurt President Donald Trump’s ability to govern.

Partial transcript as follows:

So in the midst of this big story, terror story, in England and the president speaking to the Pope and then going to NATO in Belgium, what do I see on CNN? White House in crisis. This is what they’re doing. This is what their lead was last night.

I mean, I’m saying to myself, am I not living in the real world anymore? White House in crisis. What crisis? What crisis?

There is an investigation going on on whether Russians were able to compromise people like General Michael Flynn, and Paul Manafort, who worked for Trump briefly in his campaign. Were they able, the Russians, to compromise those people in some way? That’s the investigation.

OK, that’s where we are right now. That’s a White House in crisis?

See this is all fake. It is fake. The crisis is being manufactured.

Hard to keep up with all these Russia stories. They almost cancel each other out. Rumors of rumors of rumors.

Ovomit waited two weeks before the inaugural to redo some areas of the White House... I am beginning to think those rooms were remodeled with the latest wiretapped/listening devices that can’t be detect any sort of gadgets!! It’s very fishy!!!! President Trump needs to look into that remodeling matter and tear those walls apart if need be!

Kushner wanted to setup a back channel because of concerns over leaks from Obama staff. We know this because Obama staff leaked the information, including exposing the capability of the US government to intercept communications between the Russian Amassador and his government.

There is no way that intercepted communications of that nature aren't part of a TS/SCI/SAP program. A violation of federal law.
