THANK YOU Esme @emquiry for putting up a separate thread for this YUUGE story!

Malcolm Nance is about to burst an artery right now on MSNBC and he is demanding that Kushner’s clearance is pulled immediately.

Says that there is no way this can be chalked up to naivete or inexperience.

It’s not like regular channels would work. Needed an illegal backchannel.

I’m guzzling, huffing, snorting, toking, shooting, and freebasing schadenfreude.

I’ve completely lost control.

For G-d’s sake, somebody stage an intervention!

The fact that Kisliak was dumbfounded by this request and that the reason we know about this is because Kisliak spoke with Moscow about it, should tell the American people - even the “hear no evil” deniers - that this admin is 100% compromised!

Damn!! I work out in my garden all day to come in and see this! There is evil afoot I tell ya…and they’re inside our own fucking government. Hell, they are the government. What The Fuck. When do we actually get to call them spies, because I’m well past my limit on this shit.

Ya think now these Rethugs in Congress will get off their asses and do something? Nah. Rules shmules…Those things only apply to Democrats.

“Espionage activity working with a hostile foreign government” that would get any other person’s security clearance yanked.

per Malcolm Nance

Tramp’s security clearance needs to be pulled, too, or there’s simply no reason to pull anyone else’s.

@srfromgr - spies? How about we go straight to traitors?

Well, the inexperience and blundering are why we’re finding out about it now.

@srfromgr Hahaha, it’s super-duper-stupid evil. Kushner needs financial assistance with 666 Fifth Avenue.

Well step #1 is you’ll have to define compromise and #2 what a back channel is and why they thought they needed a back channel.
