Intel expert describes Kushners alleged actions in one word: espionage
By Alison R. Parker | May 27, 2017
Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, reportedly discussed the possibility of a secret communications channel with the Kremlin. Intelligence expert Malcolm Nance minced no words in his assessment: If the account is true, Kushner's actions are "indicative of espionage ... in league with a hostile foreign government." Others agree.
The recent reporting that Jared Kushner, Donald Trumps son-in-law and senior adviser, is a person of interest in the FBIs investigation of the Trump teams ties to and possible collusion with Russia was a new bombshell related to this administration.
And only days later, it was compounded by yet another. The Washington Post reports that Kushner and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak discussed the possibility of setting up a secret and secure communications channel between Trumps transition team and the Kremlin, using Russian diplomatic facilities in an apparent move to shield their pre-inauguration discussions from monitoring.
Intercepts of Russian communications show that Kislyak told his superiors it was Kushner himself who broached the idea, one that Kislyak was taken aback by, due to the inherent security risks.
The Post notes that, to some current and former U.S. intelligence officials, the proposal was confounding. In the words of one official, it seems extremely naive or absolutely crazy.

(10,749 posts)As a former intelligence officer, believe me, when a potential source either contacts an intelligence officer or it is finally revealed to a potential source that he is in touch with a hostile intelligence officer, that is not a moment you overlook. That moment when you realize that you are about to commit or in fact have committed treason is not something you forget about or fail to remember later on.

This slime tried to set up a secret channel direct to Putin. He's a damn Russian spy and a traitor. I don't remember ain't gonna cut it!
