WSJ’s Strassel Destroys Stacked Anti-Trump Panel on ‘Meet the Press’ With Facts
newsbusters.org ^ | 5/28/2017 | Nicholas Fondacaro

The liberal network shows were all busy Sunday morning pushing accusations and speculation about President Trump and his adviser Jared Kushner. Their discussion was drive by more anonymous sources telling The Washington Post that Kushner tried to set up a backchannel discussion between Trump and the Russians to talk about Syria. CNN even accused the action of being “treasonous.” The hysteria was also present on NBC’s Meet the Press, but theirs was shattered by The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel after she introduced facts to the discussion.

“I think we are having a discussion that is absolutely divorced from reality this week. It is astonishing,” she quipped as she reminded them of how then candidate Obama (not President-elect Obama) set up a highly covert back channel with the Iranians:

Let me set the scene for you: It’s 2008, we are having an election and candidate Obama, he’s not even president elect, sends William Miller over to Iran to establish a backchannel, and let the Iranians know should he win the election they will have friendlier terms. Okay? So this is a private citizen going to foreign soil, obviously in order to evade U.S. intelligence monitoring and establishing a backchannel with a sworn enemy of the United States who was actively disrupting our efforts in the military in the Middle East.

You would be wrongg. Use google to look at my posts in 2016. Someone already tried it but wouldnt admit she couldnt find me saying trump shouldn’t be elected

American thinker has a line I steal....

Not being a never trumper doesnt make you an always jared

Think about what you are doing.you are advocating that it is okay to commit a felony on the security clearance form

Take out kushners name and insert chelsea clinton Into it..would it be okay???

Admittedly..dems wouldnt be in an uproar if it was chelsea

Kushners paper reporter is saying he has another bombshell today..maybe you should try to figure out why their reporter is trying to take out the administration

Trump had been elected. This was a meeting to try and get Russia to agree to work with the US to destroy ISIS particularly in Syria.
You can hate Kushner all you want This was NOT a meeting with a foreign government or agent for any reason other than govt business. This is not. covered by the security requests.

Cool your jets

Obama’s Iran cash. How’s that for a back channel. Hundreds of millions in cash delivered to them by airplane. Practically room service. In cash! No curiosity by the MSM about kick backs or theft.

That poster has quite an unhealthy obsession with Jared and Ivanka and I am starting to suspect him/her as a paid troll. Almost every thread he/she comes in with some negative spin or tries to throw a squirrel to divert the conversation. Quite interesting.

I tend to agree with you. Remember Cinncatus Wife? Almost sounds like her. Regardless, she definitely has a burr in her saddle. (assuming the poster is a she, but you never know nowadays)

Perhaps Kerry was referring to his meetings with the North Vietnamese in Paris in the early 1970s.

LTC: Rummy Chick has a long history of anti Trump comments. She and I have gone back and forth on that a couple of times. It’s easy to see how her previous posts make a pattern in that regard. I think many are something like “the wall will NEVER be built, the swamp will NEVER be drained”, etc.

Well..if it makes you feel better..nyt is reporting kushner has changed his mind on paris..which means I was right that he was for it..but also means he is coming around..so that is a good thing...

And yes...I dont think the wall ever gets built for a number of reasons..many dont have anything to do with trump.....and I dont think swamp gets drained for a number of reasons...deep state is deep....it may get somewhat drained...but deep state is deep.....just ask the ghost of Kennedy..he took on intelligence community... ...And wanted to get rid of federal reserve
