    And yet, Russia seems to be the only nation they were interested in secretly communicating with. Hmm.

    Just keep pushing on that rock, I'm sure you'll get it up to the top of the mountain if you just try a little harder.

    Its funny to see people acting like Trump invented corruption. He very well may have done some shady shit but at least be honest with yourselves and acknowledge all the worse things your Democrat messiahs have been complicit in.

    Quit acting like this shit is unprecedented. You all had your thumbs up your asses while Obama was drone-striking Libyan children and Hillary was selling Uranium to the same evil Russians you can't seem to shut the fuck up about.

    Now that a non-"liberal" is in office you suddenly become political watchdogs?

    How is this any different than the "conservatives" under obama?

    Oh yeah, it's not.

    The opposition party will always be this way, no matter which one is in office. Might as well get used to it bro.

    How do you know Russia was the only nation we sought this kind of relationship with? Kushner met with dozens of representatives of foreign nations.

    The pushing the rock thing is the whole Russia narrative. Keep pushing it, while I laugh at it.

    "We have back-channel communications with any number of individual (countries). So generally speaking, about back-channel communications, what that allows you to do is communicate in a discreet manner," McMaster said.

    "So it doesn't pre-expose you to any sort of content or any kind of conversation or anything. So we're not concerned about it."

    Related because it's the swamp that needs to be drained. These same organizations are leaking classified material to maintain the status quo.

    I'm rooting for the swamp to be drained, and it will be.

    http://www.lifezette.com/polizette/new-kushner-russia-story-stokes-concern-west-wing-leakers/

    Inside the West Wing, discovering and prosecuting those responsible for the constant drumbeat of leaks has become a top priority. While most of the focus has been on current U.S. intelligence personnel and former Obama administration officials...​

    When the polls said people believed Obama was a muslim or not born in the USA, it was fodder for ridicule (I agree). So is this.

    http://dailycaller.com/2016/12/27/poll-52-percent-of-democrats-believe-russia-rigged-voting-tallies/

    Despite repeated assurances to the contrary from the Obama administration, and despite the lack of any supporting evidence, a majority of Democrats believe a conspiracy theory in which Russia tampered with the voting tallies in last month’s election to rig the outcome in favor of Donald Trump, according to a new Economist/YouGov poll released Tuesday.

    According to the polling results, 17 percent of registered Democrats said it’s “definitely true” that “Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to get Donald Trump elected president, while another 35 percent said the conspiracy theory was “probably true.”

    The Obama administration has consistently said that the November elections were “free and fair” and that no hacking of voting machines took place.

    I have a hard time with accepting "Trump denied this" as a result ...or somebody on his staff denying anything under oath.....that's what yes men do. Your chart has lots of conservative spin.......not corroborated by anyone.....he was joking....more hysteria....hit piece......what a load of spin...Trump's tactic of fake news and refusal to answer questions is becoming the culture of the White House. The guy surrounds himself with fall guys....if any shit gets close to him, he'll throw one of them in front of it...he has all the signs of being not only addicted to adulation, but a coward when confronting his own mistakes.

    I don't think the vote is the main issue....it's the backdoor access and sharing of information... you can let Kushner slide...I'm not willing to do that. Maybe stick to the current administration and address the concerns we have NOW.....

    Is "conservative spin" all you got?

    The media is off the rails, doing nothing but yellow journalism. They cite nothing but cowards who will not step forward as whistleblowers or use the actual whistleblower mechanisms in place in government. They scream "the sky is falling!" over ridiculously petty things.

    The odd spin here is that Trump is a moron, mentally deranged, and whatnot, yet he's brilliant enough to concoct this incredibly complex scheme to do (what? I don't even know what the accusations really are anymore).

    You don't, but obviously those polled do.

    Tell me more about these "deplorables."

    I don't know any but hey.....I know there are plenty of whack jobs out there....I did call the Nazi killer in Portland a deplorable...although having never met the man, that was a projection on my part.......basically your swamp draining dream is leading to violence and division...not American pride.

    no, but apparently it's all you've got......I'm still waiting for some libertarian wisdom and options to come out of your camp but I'm pretty convinced you're a Trump fan now. I never will be....choices

    So, how did we negotiate this (awful) nuclear deal with Iran, if not for "secret backchannels?"

    OMG! The sky is falling!
