Jared Kushner and Russia's ambassador to Washington discussed the possibility of setting up a secret and secure communications channel between Donald Trump's transition team and the Kremlin, using Russian diplomatic facilities in an apparent move to shield their pre-inauguration discussions from monitoring, according to U.S. officials briefed on intelligence reports. Ambassador Sergei Kislyak reported to his superiors in Moscow that Kushner, son-in-law and confidant to then-President-elect Trump, made the proposal during a meeting on Dec. 1 or 2 at Trump Tower, according to intercepts of Russian communications that were reviewed by U.S. officials. Kislyak said Kushner suggested using Russian diplomatic facilities in the United States for the communications. The meeting also was attended by Michael Flynn, Trump's first national security adviser. The White House disclosed the meeting only in March, playing down its significance. But people familiar with the matter say the FBI now considers the encounter, as well as another meeting Kushner had with a Russian banker, to be of investigative interest. Kislyak reportedly was taken aback by the suggestion of allowing an American to use Russian communications gear at its embassy or consulate - a proposal that would have carried security risks for Moscow as well as the Trump team. http://www.oregonlive.com/today/index.ssf/2017/05/russian_ambassador_told_moscow.html
your "chicken" call needs some work....I thought only the Japanese had a hard time with the "l" sound....it's cluck....not cuck!
it's ok....el prez is spreading his bad habits.....cluck....cluck....cluck....take a breath...cluck....cluck.....cluck...the cuck version he likes is like tsup for what's up.
Anyway, this is an interesting story. I can see why Kushner and Flynn completely forgot about having this meeting.
I think about a month ago I read an article about this...apparently Kushner bragged to several Russians about his access....the old I'll scratch your back schpiel...to which immediately the Trumpettes screamed....fake news.. it rang true with me at the time...this confirms it even more.
Don't you see that this is all the fault of the media? It's getting so a man can't even commit a little treason without people asking annoying questions about it. barfo
The Russian banker Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner met with in December is viewed by U.S. intelligence as a "Putin crony" and a graduate of a "finishing school" for spies who was often tasked with sensitive financial operations by Putin, according to multiple U.S. officials and documents viewed by NBC News. Sergey Gorkov, 48, graduated from the FSB Academy, which was chartered in 1994 to educate Russian Intelligence personnel. He has long served Russian President Vladimir Putin in critical economic roles. Most recently, Putin chose him to head of the state-owned VneshEconomBank (VEB). As the Russian state national development bank, VEB has played a critical role in blunting the impact of U.S. sanctions against Russia by finding other sources of foreign capital. Before that, Gorkov was the deputy chairman of Sberbank, Russia's biggest bank, also state-owned, and also under U.S. sanctions since 2014. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...anker-who-putin-crony-spy-school-grad-n765311
Boring banker dude, it's easy to see why Kushner completely forgot he met with him. Nothing to see here.
Clear evidence of collusion. Too bad for the conspiracy theorists that it's after the election. All it does is show a lack of trust in the established Obama appointees.

Oddly, when Russia makes public statements that don't fit the press narratives, they're lying. But when it does fit, they're telling the truth.
