Breaking news: Jared Kushner under scrutiny in Russiagate investigation

Yaya said:
LOL, you liberals convict without any evidence.

Scrutiny, that means nothing. They are just casting a wide net and think he might have information.

And Christiefan goes bananas and thinks he is suspect, he isn't.

Do you think wanting to set up a clandestine meeting place with the Russians a criminal act, counselor?

It is common for senior advisers of a newly elected president to be in contact with foreign leaders and officials. But new administrations are generally cautious in their handling of interactions with Moscow, which U.S. intelligence agencies have accused of waging an unprecedented campaign to interfere in last year’s presidential race and help elect Trump.

i'd be more wary of Deep State leakage, as we've seen

Is it?

Can you cite any law broken other than your hurt feelings?

Statutes would be very helpful

Sorry, I'm not a lawyer. That's why I asked Yurt. I don't know if post-election secretive channels of communication are illegal, but now it's being reported that these back channel meetings between KUSHNER, the Russian government AND RUSSIAN bankers goes back to last spring, before the election. Perhaps to cover up Trump's extensive holdings and financial help from Russia?

That would be the collusion you guys and Trump are worried about, isn't it?

Now it's in the open.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and close adviser, Jared Kushner, had at least three previously undisclosed contacts with the Russian ambassador to the United States during and after the 2016 presidential campaign, seven current and former U.S. officials told Reuters.

Those contacts included two phone calls between April and November last year, two of the sources said. By early this year, Kushner had become a focus of the FBI investigation into whether there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, said two other sources - one current and one former law enforcement official.

Obviously this inconvenient mess could all be cleared up if Trump released his tax returns.

I just heard from a coworker that Mueller will be considering subpoening them.
 
the congress just subpoenaed all their campaign documents


I bet they didn't archive them correctly

BACK CHANNEL

Before the election, Kislyak’s undisclosed discussions with Kushner and Flynn focused on fighting terrorism and improving U.S.-Russian economic relations, six of the sources said. Former President Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Russia after it seized Crimea and started supporting separatists in eastern Ukraine in 2014.

After the Nov. 8 election, Kushner and Flynn also discussed with Kislyak the idea of creating a back channel between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that could have bypassed diplomats and intelligence agencies, two of the sources said. Reuters was unable to determine how those discussions were conducted or exactly when they took place.

FBI investigators are examining whether Russians suggested to Kushner or other Trump aides that relaxing economic sanctions would allow Russian banks to offer financing to people with ties to Trump, said the current U.S. law enforcement official.

The head of Russian state-owned Vnesheconombank, Sergei Nikolaevich Gorkov, a trained intelligence officer whom Putin appointed, met Kushner at Trump Tower in December. The bank is under U.S. sanctions and was implicated in a 2015 espionage case in which one of its New York executives pleaded guilty to spying and was jailed.

The bank said in a statement in March that it had met with Kushner along with other representatives of U.S. banks and business as part of preparing a new corporate strategy.

Officials familiar with intelligence on contacts between the Russians and Trump advisers said that so far they have not seen evidence of any wrongdoing or collusion between the Trump camp and the Kremlin. Moreover, they said, nothing found so far indicates that Trump authorized, or was even aware of, the contacts.

There may not have been anything improper about the contacts, the current law enforcement official stressed.

I read the whole thing thank you. I also read the paragraphs following it.

Do you really think that's all that was discussed? So Mueller should just drop the whole investigation because of that?

We're the bankers there to discuss foreign relations too?

who said anything about dropping the investigation?
It would help if you put things in context however if you care about intellectual honesty -
if not join the mindless partisans..
Nor does it seem like Trump's tax returns have anything at all to do with any of this..my opinion

Dude.... there's the question of Russian banks. Who does Trump owe money to? Where has he been getting investment capital from? How much if any interest has he been paying them?

His tax returns would yield all kinds of information about his business practices and associates.

Wake up, son.
