    “The question is, why would the Administration want a secret backchannel communications link with Putin when he can go through existing channels?”

    Have you been paying attention to the leaky sieve that Foggy Bottom and the Intel Establishment have become, especially when aimed at Trump? Had you been paying attention, it would be no surprise why back-channel communications (which are de rigour, btw) are attractive. You cannot be that naive.

    Find something before the election, and then you would have something.

    And yet all those guys are President Trump appointees.

    Oh yes, I can see why the President trusts Putin's folks more.

    A man that loves to argue just for the sake of arguing, can and will argue either side, pisses everybody off and has a ball doing it. Your OK in my book Don! A man after my my own heart.
    This is your mind on drugs!

    Both State and the Intel agencies are festooned with D’rat lackies and holdovers. Ya can’t kill ‘em & ya can’t divorce ‘em.

    The one thing we can be sure of is the Russian Intel and secret police do not have any of those evil Democrats in them.

    I do understand why the President feels they will be loyal to him.

    As brought up before, if he is so tight with the Rooskies, why does he need to establish new communication routes? You need to get your stories straight. And for someone so disorganized, Trump sure has done a remarkable job of hiding those pre-election communications. Your memes need work. You guys have so many, they are stepping all over each other.

    Obviously, he needs to establish communications routes secure from American Intelligence that might leak info to American citizens.

    That’s why we have a whole system of secrets, so that they aren’t leaked, hacked or purloined. If the guys or gals inside are doing any of the three above, then the reasons to circumvent the system are apparent. I assume you are in favor of compromised secrets then and opposed to defenses against them?

    When Ad. Rogers informed Trump the Obama/D’rat apparatice was bugging him, I am guessing he was looking for ways to cut them out as he has no way to defenestrate the plants in the system for years. Subsequent leaks have borne that out, plus the skullduggery exhibited in Justice/FBI come to light.

    I am not exactly in favor of Russia being the one that is keeping our secrets.

    Negotiations with foreign powers are best done without a NYTs reporter figuratively under your desk, but you can bet that the Russians would not be putting the documents on an unsecured server in his bathroom either.
