Remember when Obama's "back channels" to anti-American foreign governments was lauded by this same establishment media.

MotherJones:
"Fidel Castro Has Died. Here's An Inside Look At Cuba's Crazy Back-Channel Negotiations With Obama"

NYTimes:
"How Obama’s Undercover Statecraft Secured Three Major Accords" Excerpt:

"In plotting its Cuba overture, the administration drew on the success of its secret back-channel talks with Iran."

WashingtonPost:
"The Omani 'back channel' to Iran and the secrecy surrounding the nuclear deal"

TheGuardian:
"Secret talks and a personal letter: how the US-China climate deal was done" Excerpt:

"But American and Chinese officials had been in search of an agreement – through official meetings and back-channel negotiations – since the days when George Bush was president."

Experts in what?

Another example is the oft-praised but fundamentally problematic back-channel by John Kennedy to Khrushchev during the Cuban missile crisis. The result was a US-Soviet deal that, in part, led to the removal of American nuclear missiles from Turkey — and a denial by Kennedy that any such deal had been arrived at. Coupled with other missteps, the result was that the US military began to suspect that JFK was not fully loyal to the country.

We could always call out WaPos and CNN lacking any honor and integrity with the most vehement ways possible, but I don’t think they care much about it.

Back channels are how you go around the deep state. Like JFK did in the Cuban missile crisis when he had to do an end run around the Joint Chiefs that wanted to launch a preemptive nuclear war.

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.

Thanks for posting a list of Obozo’s back channel events.

I thought all the presidents had back channels to get immediate access to leaders for important discussions. With today’s intelligence community infiltrated with Marxist traitors, you need a back channel more than ever.

[ncalburt]

The WH needs to stop all pres conference's and move the enemy aka reporters out of the WH grounds like they first thought.

Reckless reporters like these clown should have privileges pulled .

The Bezos newsletter needs to be stopped .

Amazon needs to be brought up on monopoly charges.

They are one.
Watch the Bezos newsletter get real quiet then. These games Bezos has been behind must be stopped.

[PCPOET7]

there has been so much lying done by the media. I will believe it when I hear the so called recording of him trying to set up back channel connections.

[rhinohunter]

If Kushner needed a backchannel to Russia, why didn’t he just ask his father-in-law for one of the backchannels previously used to transmit the passwords for the MI/PA/WI voting machines?
I mean, am I missing something?
This seems like a no-brainer...

[Nifster]

And obozo had no back channel to Iran or the Muslim brotherhood

Nov 9, 2012

Today the White House denied rumors that Valerie Jarrett, one of President Obama’s top advisers, is allegedly negotiating with Iran over its nuclear program.

Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for the National Security Council, told Fox News that “there is not a shred of truth to this report. It’s completely false."

But foreign policy experts and former officials told The Washington Post such a request of the Russians would be inappropriate unless carefully coordinated with the Obama administration, which was in office at the time.

Unsourced. Bye.

[9YearLurker]

Here’s a long article on Kushner. The worst news is that he has decided to stay and fight rather than to decamp with Ivanka to NY.

Let’s hope that is still an option they are open to.

"Experts" question it....More WaaaaaPo fake news.

Akin to their headline that Merkel says Germany can no longer depend on the US - her actual words were to the effect that the days when they could rely on others is near at hand and they must take responsibility for their own destiny into their own hands - IOW, she got the message about self-responsibility/reliance vs. expecting to be a welfare recipient.
