e: ^ wouldn't rule out Russians trolling over a line they knew was compromised, but if it's real they could really sweat one of these guys to roll on the other

Gonna be an EFB for sure but:

Russian ambassador told Moscow that Kushner wanted secret communications channel with Kremlin

quote:

Ambassador Sergei Kislyak reported to his superiors in Moscow that Kushner, then President-elect Trump’s son-in-law and confidant, 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.

The White House disclosed the fact of the meeting only in March, playing down its significance. But people familiar with the matter say the FBI now considers the encounter, as well as another meeting Kushner had with a Russian banker, to be of investigative interest.

This is another one of the "Not technically illegal, but why on earth would you do this unless you either really knew what you were doing or had no idea what you were doing" scandals for the Trump pile.

It is kind of sad that he could actually successfully defend this by saying he just had no idea what was going on and TECHNICALLY since nothing was ever transferred over it; nothing illegal could have happened.

I'm guessing this will just be used as more grist for the "collusion" mill, assuming they have more concrete evidence.

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.

“How would he trust that the Russians wouldn’t leak it on their side?” said one former senior intelligence official. The FBI would know that a Trump transition official was going in and out of the embassy, which would cause “a great deal” of concern, he added. The entire idea, he said, “seems extremely naïve or absolutely crazy.”

Is there literally anything legally that can be done if it fully comes out, proven with hard evidence, that the GOP has colluded at the highest levels with Russia to undermine America?

If we're lucky, the pattern we've seen repeatedly over the past 4 months will continue. A rumor will come from an unverified source. Trump's staff will deny it, which should settle the unverifiable matter... Then Trump will start bragging that he totally did it.

It's not just that, the dude is extremely sexist and unpleasant. He's an MRA type who complains that "mansplaining" is a sexist term while also throwing the word "oval office" around at women who challenge him on that (he once accused a woman of "cuntfusing" the issue, apparently not seeing the irony in saying that right after calling the word "mansplaining" sexist), and also a GamerGater and such. He's basically a 4channer who happened to become a billionaire. It's no surprise no women want anything to do with him even with all his money.
