Back channel is very common in the DC area from JFK to Oboner.
Back channels in DC work for politicians, businesses and others.
Suppose Mr A knows and is on speaking terms with Mr B and Mr C. Mr B and Mr C don’t know each other. C would like to meet or talk with B. So he asks Mr A to arrange it or to pass info on to Mr B.
