Dog, johnny thinks that by setting up back channels like other Presidents have done, Jared was not doing anything questionable or illegal.
First, he dishonestly fails to mention that "back channels" in politics and government are for enemies or those with whom we don't already have diplomatic relations. They allow communication between two parties who can't talk officially.
Trump insists Russia is a friend AND we already have diplomatic channels, so a back channel with Russia serves no purpose but to hide shady dealings from Congress, law enforcement, and the American people.
It also doesn't occur to johnny to question whether "back channel" communications should be sent over encrypted foreign systems instead of systems our own government can monitor. In other words, he's fine with the FSB and the SVR having access to the highly classified information exchanged, but he wants to be sure the NSA, CIA, or FBI don't get it.
Gee, what could be wrong with that?
In other words, johnforbes thinks that once again Russia should have more information than the U.S. does.
That's why he was here recently defending the idea that America should be content to get its news from PRAVDA concerning what goes on in the Oval Office. (I'm not making that up.)
There is only one reason Trump would want access to an encrypted Russian communications system, and that's so that America and American law enforcement can never find out about what he is actually doing while he's telling us he's doing something else.
Trump couldn't care less if the Russians know more than Americans do about his dealings with Russia. In fact, he's counting on it.
And for some mysterious reason all this doesn't raise a warning flag for "America First" Forbes. :shock:
