McCain: Kushner’s Reported Push For Russia Backchannel Not 'Standard'
-
In an interview with an Australian media outlet published Monday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that he does not believe Jared Kushner’s reported suggestion that the Trump transition team establish a secret backchannel to the Russian government followed typical procedures.
“I don’t like it, I just don’t,” McCain told Australian outlet ABC regarding the Washington Post report that Kushner asked the Russian ambassador to set up a secret communications channel between the Trump team and the Kremlin using Russia’s embassy in the U.S.
“I know some administration officials are saying this is standard procedure. I don’t think it’s standard procedure prior to the inauguration of the President of the United States by someone who is not in an appointed position,” McCain told ABC.
McCain also told ABC that he sees Russian President Vladimir Putin as a greater threat than the Islamic State.

Any reason why Trump doesn't fire Kushner and actually "drain the swamp"? Is it because he is Ivanka's husband? Ah nepotism, how I loathe thee.
I'm tired of Trump supporters always blaming his "globalist" cabinet members and never the person who actually put them in place.
It is very possible Russia could have some leverage over Trump, considering that hackers have not released any data on the Republicans during the election cycle.

I wish someone besides McCain would speak up. Trumptards have deemed him to be a traitor ever since Trump said nasty things about him.
He likely is a traitor. That's why they nominated him for President….Trumptards hate America.
