You should add that the government can also request any case closed when natsec is involved. That was used a lot when civil liberty groups tried to sue phone providers for participating in the metadata program.

Remember when Donald Trump was business partners with the Russian government
and his company got 53 million from the Russian government investment fund
called Rusnano that was started by Vladimir Putin and is referred to as
"Putin's Child"?
Oh wait that wasn't Trump it was John Podesta.]]]
RedBeaux • 4 hours agoThe real and appropriate question here would be is who is actually stupid enough to trust Bend Over Barry and his unashamedly corrupt appointees? To date I have found no online video, public university address or even simple pictures or gestures of Obo doing anything that could be considered mildly honorable or good. The whole world hated him for good reason, but evil groups and governments were happy to capitalize on the power they garnered under his weakness and self serving deviance. One only need to look at whom sings his praises to realize what a waste of a creature he really is. That said, O has done America more damage than the whole of the Russian government is even capable of.]]]

Wow that all sounds really gay. Does Jared also massages Trump's balls or is that TSA's job?
Also LOL @ political win. Jared Doesn't know . Way in over his head.
Russians playing chess, Repugs getting played, and they're too naive to know it, exactly like the low-wage, low-education racists who got suckered into electing Trash.
Jared Kushner is in deep trouble—and his White House enemies are feeling pretty good about that
There is no "legitimate" reason why Trump's transition team should have sought out a secret line of communication with a foreign nation that the American government wouldn't know about.
Sunday shows be damned; there is no spin that makes that "better."
That's colluding with a foreign government in defiance of your own no matter how you look at it, and
is prima facie evidence that
there was something going on between the top members of Team Trump and Russian officials that they didn't want American officials getting wind of—and
that's even without considering the breaking news that Kushner had still more conversations with Russian officials that he did not previously bother to mention.
certain other people in the always-tumultuous White House, people who do not like Golden Boy and find his presence irritating, might be a wee bit happy about that.
“No one knows what to make of it because he’s there every day, making decisions, in the Oval,” [a senior administration official] said. “So everyone just tries to act normal.”
[...]But outside of Kushner’s small circle of trust – a group that includes Kushner’s wife Ivanka Trump, and advisers Hope Hicks, Josh Raffel, Dina Powell, Gary Cohn, Chris Liddell and Reed Cordish –
many West Wing advisers are simultaneously rattled by the backchannel revelations, and feeling a sense of schadenfreude. [...]
Internally at the White House, according to multiple sources, there is a feeling of resentment among people about Kushner’s special status as a family member, and a feeling that it’s about time for him to have a turn under the gun.
I don't think we have to worry about the members of this White House colluding with each other to sweep their worst scandals under the rug. The members of this White House would feed each other to passing bears, if the opportunity arose.

Why would Trump's team be happy over this? No way you can separate Cuckner away from Dear Leader in this probe.
FBI now focusing on mysterious 30-minute meeting Kushner had with Putin banker all
President Donald Trump’s adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner is now under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a meeting he had with a representative from a sanctioned Russian bank in December.
Kushner’s meeting with Russian banker and Vladimir Putin ally Sergey Gorkov in December 2016 is, according to the Times, “now being scrutinized by the F.B.I. as part of its investigation into alleged Russian attempts to disrupt last year’s presidential campaign, and whether any of Mr. Trump’s advisers assisted in such efforts.”
Kushner has also come under media scrutiny for another meeting he had with a Russian national — in December, Kushner met with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak in Trump Tower to establish a back-channel with the Kremlin.
The move is considered out-of-the ordinary for presidential transitions, and disgraced national security adviser Michael Flynn was also reportedly at the meeting.
Gorkov’s bank, Vnesheconombank (VEB), was placed under sanction in 2014 by the American government for their role as a government-owned financial ins ution in Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
According to the Times, VEB also has “been used by Russian intelligence to plant spies in the United States.
In March 2016, an agent of Russia’s foreign intelligence service, known as the S.V.R., who was caught posing as an employee of the bank in New York, pleaded guilty to spying against the United States.”

Because they are morons. It may be Pence thinking he can get away with it, which he won't.
Kushner's ups hurt the WH, and maybe some of the WH staffers GAF about the WH/Exec fuction, rather than just Trash the asshole soft authoritarian sicko ignoramus.
Because Trump has hired a bunch of a-holes interested in gaining some sort of position by backstabbing.
No honor among thieves. This is just a ridiculously bad mix of people. This is a horribly inept, corrosive group. There is clearly a group within the WH that wants Kushner gone.
Media is back to calling it a back channel. Story will be dead in a week. Wonder who the next failed target will be the pickings are slim.
I don't know how Kushner wouldn't take Trump down with him. I still think it's Priebus and his people trying to take our Dear Leader down for Pence's benefit. None of these leaks ever seem to do anything but make Pence look like the odd guy out who has no idea what's going on. The GOP doesn't give a about Trump, he was a trojan horse to get them into power but now is just a nuisance getting in the way of them passing their agenda into law.
well, 50% of media is fake news, so maybe going back to calling it a back channel is fake.
