Homeland Security Secretary Kelly said on Meet the Press Sunday that high-level classified leaks, like those over the Manchester attack in the U.K., are "borderline treason."
"I don't know where the leak came from. But I... immediately called my counterpart in the UK.... She immediately brought this topic up. And, if it came from the United States, it's totally unacceptable. And I don't know why people do these kind of things, but it's borderline, if not over the line, of treason."
He added: "I believe when you leak the kind of information that seems to be routinely leaked — high, high level of classification — I think it's darn close to treason."
On reports that Jared Kushner wanted to open a secret backchannel with Russia:
"I don't see any big issue here relative to Jared.... I think any time you can open lines of communication with any one, whether they're good friends or not so good friends, is a smart thing to do."

That is the reason for backchannel communications. It's an attempt to bypass the leaking saboteurs imbedded in the official channels.
“I don’t see any big issue here relative to Jared.... I think any time you can open lines of communication with any one, whether they’re good friends or not so good friends, is a smart thing to do.”
Yes, but that interferes with the post election power sharing agreement the GOP made with the Rats. Can’t have that.
“Borderline” treason?
That sounds like someone saying that they are “borderline” pregnant...

Start 'perp-walking' members of the Deep State, including their kenyan leader!
For months Trump has been a victim of high level leaks. Some pictures of the Manchester bomb gets leaked and now it’s time to get serious about leaks?
Welcome to the party Kelly. We’ve been screaming this for months.
Question is, if true, why did they do it?
Cuz they’re true believers? Or were any coerced? Because if it’s the latter, firing the offenders won’t solve the problem.
If/when it looks like bad news for us, it's all probably fake and contrived news.
The law is the law. Either change it or follow it. Stop ignoring it, government!
“Borderline treason” is apparently not even worth an investigation these days.
When is the first arrest for espionage going to happen?
If the answer is “never” or “too far in the future for it to matter”, then we have a public policy issue that deserves to move to the top of the debate agenda.
It’s Espionage plain and simple
DC is a town full of unindicted conspirators.
Nothing “borderline” about it, General.
Borderline?!
From what I can see, the information concerning Kushner wanting a back channel was leaked a while ago.
Could this have come from Cory Louie who was ‘fired’ around the same time as the IT brothers.
