The most blatant and damning of the evidence is Jared Kushner's seeking to use the Russian embassy's communications channel to avoid being heard. That is a treasonous act. The fact that Kushner is in The White House as an advisor is an insult to every citizen. The Trump's have stabbed American democracy in the back while mugging Lady Liberty.

"Jared Kushner Reportedly Discussed Setting Up Secret Communication Channel With Moscow
Another possible piece in the Russia puzzle.
By Mollie Reilly
Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s adviser and son-in-law, reportedly discussed opening a secret communication channel between the administration’s transition team and the Russian government, The Washington Post reported Friday.
According to the report, Kushner discussed that possibility with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, in December, before Trump’s inauguration. Specifically, Kushner reportedly asked about using Russia’s diplomatic facilities to secure the channel to avoid being monitored.
That suggestion surprised Kislyak, who is widely believed to be involved with Russia’s spying operations, according to the Post:
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."

Manafort in Russian spotlight
ReplyDeleteBY KATIE BO WILLIAMS AND BEN KAMISAR - 05/27/17 05:56 AM EDT 804
Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort is back in the spotlight in the myriad of investigations into Russia’s involvement in the U.S. election.
Manafort had taken a backseat in the cast of Russia-linked characters to former national security advisor Michael Flynn, who is currently defying a subpoena in the Senate investigation into Russian interference.
But the longtime Republican operative has by far the deepest and most well-documented ties to Russian businessmen and politicians.
The New York Times on Wednesday revealed that Russian spies had strategized during the election how best to leverage Manafort to influence Trump. The report came on the heels of testimony from former CIA head John Brennan that Trump campaign associates were in contact with Russian officials.

The Republican Party was duped and infiltrated by the Russians. It has lost its viability as an American institution.
