The liberal mainstream media excitedly reported on Jared Kushner’s attempt to establish a secret channel of communication with Russia before the president took office.
Kushner met with Russian officials briefly in December as part of his role in the transition and as a diplomatic conduit to the State Department.
However, according to FOX News, it was the Russians who suggested setting up back-channel communications — NOT Jared Kushner.
Now, thanks to Wikileaks we know this was nothing new and the Obama Transition Team actually had back-channel communications as part of their transition strategy.
In August of 2008, the Obama transition team planned “President elect and senior officials (to) begin confidential policy consultations with key actors in US and abroad” for the time period from THANKSGIVING (2008) TO INAUGURATION DAY (2009). It is in the attachment, Phase Three, Item #3.
The information was posted by Wikileaks from the leaked John Podesta emails.

Democrat Hypocrisy Reaches New Low!!
Yes, keep building Hussein’s true legacy...
As has been said many times: "The Left will always accuse its enemies of what it itself is doing."
Yeah but it’s ok because he’s Obama mmm mm mm. Yes we can.
The rules are ALWAYS different for democrats.
Here, the strategy against DJT is to accuse him of doing the same things they did, but spinning their doing it as something sinister.
I hate those SOBs. Someday they will have their final day of reckoning.
“More flexibility after the election”....Do you understand....Yes, I will give the message to Putin....
I’m sorry, but the Obama administration opening back channels to foreign governments never happened. I know that because NBCCBSABCCNNMSNBCNYTWAPO have not told me that it happened. And even if it had, it would not have been bad, because the Obama administration were good people. #Trump=Bad
(do I need a /sarc?)
That’s another stunt that has VJ written ALLLL over it!
Why didnt this come out two weeks ago, before Brennan testified. He was a major role player in Barky’s ‘08 campaign as an FP and Intel adviser. Gowdy could and would have asked if these reports are true and if so how are they different than anything Trump or his aids and advisers did. He would be answering under oath.
I remember O’s ridiculous “office of the president elect” seal. I wish he would just go away. All the republicans quietly fade away. But not the democrats. Even the presidential losers keep making noise.
