Jared Kushner and Russia’s ambassador to Washington discussed the possibility of setting up a secret and secure communications channel between 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 Sergey 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.
This article is a bit old, but considering the constant MAGA whines of “No Russian collusion!!!” it is important to remember who was actually running our government for 4 years.
“according to intercepts of Russian communications that were reviewed by U.S. officials.” !
Wow. Very interesting.
“Russia at times feeds false information into communication streams it suspects are monitored as a way of sowing misinformation and confusion among U.S. analysts.”
That was my thought too.
The White House literally confirmed this meeting happened.

I don’t doubt it, but what I was getting at was that I wonder if Kushner hasn’t had more serious investigations into these allegations because it is hard to 100% prove and the article brings that up. Obviously Kushner isn’t going to say anything to the FBI, and Flynn is also being silent so the FBI has to rely on a potentially sketchy source. Not much to stand on given that I’m hoping we get to see Kushner in jail one day.
Wow look at that reaction! You guys think I’m a MAGA or something because I quoted this?
