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.

Six of the sources said there were multiple contacts between Kushner and Kislyak but declined to give details beyond the two phone calls between April and November and the post-election conversation about setting up a back channel. It is also not clear whether Kushner engaged with Kislyak on his own or with other Trump aides.

Well, it looks like we haven't seen the worst of it all yet.

"This week’s town hall event, which was broadcast to agency facilities worldwide, was therefore met with surprise and anticipation by the NSA workforce, and Rogers did not disappoint. I have spoken with several NSA officials who witnessed the director’s talk and I’m reporting their firsthand accounts, which corroborate each other, on condition of anonymity.

In his town hall talk, Rogers reportedly admitted that President Trump asked him to discredit the FBI and James Comey, which the admiral flatly refused to do. As Rogers explained, he informed the commander in chief, “I know you won’t like it, but I have to tell what I have seen”—a probable reference to specific intelligence establishing collusion between the Kremlin and Team Trump.

Rogers then added that such SIGINT exists, and it is damning. He stated, “There is no question that we [meaning NSA] have evidence of election involvement and questionable contacts with the Russians.” Although Rogers did not cite the specific intelligence he was referring to, agency officials with direct knowledge have informed me that DIRNSA was obviously referring to a series of SIGINT reports from 2016 based on intercepts of communications between known Russian intelligence officials and key members of Trump’s campaign, in which they discussed methods of damaging Hillary Clinton."

I don't think it's going to be nearly as simple as the left wants it to be or as clean an exoneration as the right wants.

Probably right. But if Trump did try to shut down the investigation as reported, to me that is obstruction and he has to go on that basis alone.

But that's me.

It seems the silver lining in this saga will be the delineation of the differences and criteria for a normal scandal, an early lame duck presidency, impeachable offense, and treason. There will be a new standard, one way or the other, when this is all finished.

Doubtful. They're all different.

Kush's response to the story is that he doesn't remember all his conversations.

WTF?

You don't remember if you and Flynn told the Russians the administration wanted to set up a secret channel to the Kremlin???

I kinda think you'd remember whether you did that!

There will be several new standards when this is all over.
