    • Let's set up a clandestine communications channel between the US and Russia using Russian equipment in a secure US location! What could go wrong!?face_melter
    • So this predates the Seychelles backchannel meeting in January? This is an absolutely embarrassing clusterfuck of corruption and they need to get jailed.garbage
    • allegedly or did?monospaced
    • Well, for now, I suppose it's only an allegation until it's proved in court ... hopefully it gets to that point.Continuity

    • Why would it go to court? This is not illegal, and the backchannel wasn't set up. The US has had a backchannel with the Kremlin since 1964.IRNlun6
    • Pres. Obama had a backchannel with the Iranians. It's used to prevent leaks.IRNlun6
    • Did Obama keep that info from investigators, and lie about it to the media, to the intelligence agencies and the VP? I don't think so.monospaced
