Top Dem: Kushner reports a 'rumor at this point'

Source: The Hill
BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 05/28/17 09:56 AM EDT

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on Sunday said he expects the special counsel named to investigate any Russia involvement in the 2016 election will get to the bottom of recent reports related to White House senior adviser Jared Kushner.

"The bottom line of course if we now have a special counsel in Bob Mueller. I have the highest level of confidence in him, and I hope that he will follow all the evidence, all the leads and all the suggestions and I'm sure he will," Durbin, the Senate Democratic whip, said on "Fox News Sunday."

"This is a rumor at this point and whether it is something that should be followed up on, I'll trust Bob Mueller's judgment."

The Washington Post reported on Friday that Kushner in December sought to establish a backchannel line of communication during a meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. That channel was never set up.

12. He is right though because right now its just an investigation to find out what if anything happened and who did it. [thats what we can a witch hunt]
And dont forget the Russians have planted false flags in the past and they probably have a number of them ready to go in order to create as much chaos inside the US as possible as well as to throw the investigation off the trail of who Russia was really working with so any investigation is going to have be careful and double if not triple check the evidence.

13. Please be fair. He's a Senator, therefore he will be a JUROR in the Senate trial after the impeachment.

He is SUPPOSED to not prejudge or make his judgment on a partisan basis. You should view every public statement of his through that prism.

But if the House impeaches DT and the case comes to Durbin, he will NOT be complicit in any evil.

14. McMaster confirmed the backchannel meeting but said he was unconcerned

McMaster did not deny that Kushner, Flynn and Sislyak were discussing setting up secret backchannel but dismissed it as unimportant and normal, so I don't see how we can call it just a rumor.

Maybe Durbin is embarrassed and overly cautious now because he believed and spread rumor claiming Comey had asked for more resources right before being fired, which has turned out to be untrue.

Anyone who really knows the Government isn't concerned because this happens all the time... just like when Barry did it in 2008.

6. Do you know anything about Senator Durbin?

He is a very good Democrat, liberal and person. He is not in anyway "complicit".

10. How is Durbin complicit?

For starters he's a crooked insider trader.

Chicago Sun-Times: As U.S. stock markets plummeted last September, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, Dick Durbin, sold more than $115,000 worth of stocks and mutual-fund shares and used much of the money to invest in Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

The Illinois senator's 2008 financial disclosure statement shows he sold mutual-fund shares worth $42,696 on Sept. 19, the day after then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke urged congressional leaders in a closed meeting to craft legislation to help financially troubled banks. The same day, he bought $43,562 worth of Berkshire Hathaway's Class B stock, the disclosure shows.

A "very good Democrat, liberal and person" who described American soldiers as Nazis, Soviets, and Pol Pot.

Dickless Durbin is a worthless piece of shit.

Leftofcool either doesn't know Durbin as well as he thinks he does or just doesn't care.

The Palmer report will be releasing a BOMBSHELL of a report in 24 bidness hours starting at 1800 Greenwich meridian time, sometime this week.
Unreported anonymous sources have reported that Kushner conspired with the Russians to have her Thighness, Hitlery Clintoon assassinated, stuffed and put on display at Lennin's Tomb. There was to be a 4 ruble 6.5 Kopeck charge per person for this , Half of which was going to be deposited in a secret Nigerian account for the Trumps.

In a totally unrelated report from the Sergeant at arms of the Denny's across form the capitol, Upon returning from his World tour President Trump has formed a war room and they are planning to interrogate democrats on the hill this coming week. They have invited agents from the KGB to do the dirty work.

More information will be provided exclusively on the Rachael Madcow show later in the week.

Well stated!

[Ausonius]

In 110 A.D., Pliny the Younger, Roman governor of what is now northern Turkey, wrote a letter to the Emperor Trajan about how to handle Christians. 

 

Pliny specifically mentioned a booklet - anonymously submitted to him - with names of supposedly secret Christians.  He asked Trajan what to do, since he had never dealt with the problem before.

 

Trajan famously replied that Christians are not to be hunted down.  And as for anonymous sources, "they are to be ignored, for they are not worthy of the tenor or our times."

 

How far have we fallen!
