Just wondering what your reaction was to that comment at the time? (Bet you had a freaking cow!)
Also, wonder if you might see a difference between the conversation you posted that was done IN FRONT OF CAMERAS AND THE PRESS and this:
Jared Kushner and Russia’s ambassador to Washington discussed the possibility of setting up a secret and secure communications channel between Trump’s transition team and the Kremlin, using Russian diplomatic facilities in an apparent move to shield their pre-inauguration discussions from monitoring, according to U.S. officials briefed on intelligence reports.

Do you see no difference? Or are you just blinded by your political bias? (No need to answer.)
Yes, I see a big difference... But first the commonality: Both Kushner and Obama were setting up 'back channels' to communicate with Russia. You're naive to believe conversations between the Obama admon and Russia weren't 'secret and secure communications channels'.
The difference is, Obama stupidly established this channel in an open mic situation; something that was meant to be kept secret. I know you're a REALLY REALLY smart person, so you're able to see that Obama is leaning over to Medvedev and talking in a most quiet tone to make sure others couldn't hear the conversation. It appears Obama was too ignorant to realize that a mic might just be open and recording.
This is the insanity about this whole Trump "back channel" fake scandal crap... Presidential adminstrations open 'secret and secure communications channels' to just about EVERY country. 'Secret and secure' meaning CLASSIFIED. You damn leftists love to pretend this is something that just started with Trump. You're so desperate to find that there was some sort of collusion in the election hacking nonsense. And when this 'back channel' crap turns out to be just that - CRAP - you'll jump on the next made up scandal in order to prove Trump colluded with the Russians.
TJ, I know you think we're all morons and too stupid to see what's going here. So this is a waste of bits and bytes... but we can clearly see what liberals are up to. And when Trump is still in the White House 4 years from now, having won his second run, you leftists still won't get that Americans are rejecting this crap that you're up to. So, while you're so busy trying to point out what morons everyone is, I'm pointing and laughing at people like you who are obviously too ignorant to see what this last election was about and how your stupid sophomoric these tactics are; and most Americans can see it.
