On Kushner, There’s No Innocent Explanation
Here I’m talking about Jared Kushner’s attempt to set up a secure line of communication to Moscow, as well as meeting with the head of that government-backed Russian bank.
we’re hearing a variety of possible explanations.
The first was that this was an attempt to hold confidential discussions over Syria
heard it suggested that the issue was Kushner’s naïveté or inexperience in government. Perhaps he simply didn’t realize that this would be a problem. Let’s call this the ‘naive Jared’ theory
it’s now treated as a given that the Trump Team was wary of being monitored by the Obama administration. But is there really any evidence of that? Not really.
The idea that Kushner and Flynn would use Russian secure communications facilities to
set up a secure channel to Moscow is so inexplicable and beyond the pale that it almost beggars the imagination.
Critically, this key part of the story has not been disputed by the White House.
The only possible explanation of this effort is that Flynn and Kushner (perhaps others, but at least them)
wanted to discuss topics that
would not only be hidden from Obama administration political appointees but from everyone in the US government –
people who would continue to make up the government long after the Obama team was gone.
There’s simply no innocent explanation for that.
Not naivete, no fear of Obama snooping, not plausible deniability.
The only explanation for that level of secrecy and security,
that level of collaboration with an adversary foreign power is that
they were doing something wrong,
something that had to stay secret.
What it was I don’t know.
It wasn’t innocent.

Russians claim to have 'derogatory' financial information that can be used as leverage over Trump
One source described the information as financial in nature and said the discussion centered on whether the Russians had leverage over Trump's inner circle. The source said the intercepted communications suggested to US intelligence that Russians believed
"they had the ability to influence the administration through the derogatory information."
… a series of very deep studies published in the [Financial Times] that examined
the structure and history of several major Trump real estate projects from the last decade—the period after his seventh bankruptcy and the cancellation of all his bank lines of credit. ...
The money to build these projects flowed almost entirely from Russian sources.
In other words, after his business crashed, Trump was floated and made to appear to operate a successful business enterprise through the
infusion of hundreds in millions of cash from dark Russian sources.
He was their man.
What seems to be clear is that the Russians thought—think—they have details that put the Trump regime under the Kremlin’s thumb.
CNN has not been able to verify the allegations about the derogatory information in the dossier, but current and former US officials say
some of the Russia-to-Russia conversations in the dossier have been corroborated.
These were the Russians bragging among themselves about their hold on the Trump regime. That makes it seem unlikely this was part of the broad distribution of propaganda used to assist Trump.
Considering that Manafort obtained a mysterious loan immediately after leaving Trump’s campaign and used that to leverage the purchase of multi-million dollar oceanfront property, looking into his finances seems like a fair bet.

Sergei who? Why investigators are concerned Jared Kushner met with Sergei Gorkov
New questions are being raised over a meeting between Jared Kushner — Donald Trump's son-in-law and special adviser — and a Russian banker named Sergei Gorkov.
“Gorkov is a longtime associate of [Russian president] Vladimir Putin,”
“He’s a veteran of the Russian intelligence establishment.
And he is the head of a bank that essentially functions as a slush fund for Vladimir Putin’s pet projects.”
Moreover, Gorkov’s bank, Vnesheconombank or VEB, has been used in the recent past as a front for Russian espionage activities.
Kushner met Gorkov in December 2016, apparently at the suggestion of Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak, not long after Kushner met with Kislyak.
But Kushner failed to disclose the meetings with Kislyak and Gorkov when he applied for security clearance in January.
VEB has been used as a front for espionage activities in the recent past.
"A few years ago," explains Groll, “a Russian spy ring was rolled up in New York City, and one of those operatives, Evgeny Buryakov, was working in New York, using the cover of being a Vnesheconombank executive.”
That case was overseen by the former US Attorney Preet Bharara. (... fired by Trash for investigating Trash)
the bank’s creditworthiness, and the bank’s credibility as a financial ins ution is closely linked to its ties to the Russian government.”
Both VEB and Sberbank are funded by the Russian state. The head of the board of VEB is none other than Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev.
“Anytime that the bank has run into financial trouble,” explains Groll, “the government has bailed it out.”

Kushner "forgot" that he met with Pootin's BANKER!
He filed the meetings the next day and the FBI cleared him. Non-story.
Cleared who? Kushner is not cleared.
cleared as in given security clearance after disclosing the meetings the next day.
(CNN)Fired FBI director James Comey plans to testify publicly in the Senate as early as next week to confirm bombs accusations that President Donald Trump pressured him to end his investigation into a top Trump aide's ties to Russia, a source close to the issue said Wednesday.

ok so how is that them reporting allegation as fact?
the allegation is that trump pressured comey to end the investigation
cnn is citing a source who claims that comey will confirm the allegations
that is different than CNN saying "we know with certainty that trump pressured comey to end the investigation and this is a fact on the record"
Is this the longest the MSM has ever promoted a conspiracy theory?
I think Don Lemon only spent a day or two on whether a black hole may have swallowed the Malaysian airliner.
it coulda crashed in africa.
A large portion of CNN readers will take it as fact and CNN knows this. NBC reported the facts properly.
