So, big breaking story from the Washington Post.
Turns out, Jared Kushner met with Michael Flynn and Sergey Kislyak at Trump Tower on December 1st or 2nd of 2016 to discuss the possibility of creating a secure communications line between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin using the Russian embassy. If this sounds fucking stupid, that's because it is: the FBI and CIA would certainly have discovered such a communications line because a person of high-profile (Kushner) would repeatedly be at a place that is under intense scrutiny (the Russian embassy). The Russians, who nobody has accused of being idiots, realized that would be a terrible idea.
Not to be undone by his own stupidity, the wunderkind of the Trump family (who by no coincidence happens to be the only one that is not biologically related to the Donald) informed the Russians that some form of a secure channel was "necessary for the Trump team to be able to continue their communication with Russian government officials."
Flynn, being stupid in addition to treasonous, discussed the possibility of orchestrating a meeting between a Trump representative and a Russian contact in a third country to avoid detection. Less than six weeks later,
this asshole, who happens to be an "informal adviser" to the president, met with a representative of Vladimir Putin in Seychelles.
In closing, this Washington Post subscription is putting in some work. Money well spent. Netflix, you need to up your game. I don't advertise products often, but I will risk a warning from the mods to say that a subscription to the Washington Post is important for any proud citizen of our democracy.
