John Kelly: Any channel of communication back or otherwise with a country like Russia's a good thing

1. Fine and dandy

Let's allow this with North Korea next, in the name of "better relations"!

2. In the name of deception

and profiteering, of course.

3. Another loyal Trump appointee who's on the take & probably gets $ from Russia.

He also said leaks are possibly treason. Note that he didn't say the same thing about colluding with Russia to interfere with our democracy. He said that ONLY about leaks, parroting Trump's "the leaks are the issue!" meme.

This administration is so corrupt. I've never seen anything like it. Worse than Nixon's administration.

4. Appeasement. Pure and simple.

5. Wow, back channels to Russia are now OK?!

He just set up the main right- wing pundit misdirection talking point for the week. I can hear Rush Limbaugh now "The Secretary Of Homeland Security says nothing to see here".

6. WOW! You Know That This Guy Is a Certified Trump Stooge

And that he took the ass-kissing loyalty oath to Trump that Comey refused to take. This is beyond ridiculous - it flies in the face of all governmental and diplomatic common sense. IF these are legitimate communications with Russia, then why set up a BACK channel for them? Why sneak out the back door if everything is on the up and up??? But that's how credulous these Trump supporters are!

[YOHABLO]

7. This is a back channel to avoid scrutiny of illegal money transfers and laundering.(No?)

Not a back channel to repair our relationship with Russia.

8. Hey Kelly FU, Treason is Treason, your about as credible as a piss ant

your boss, that other piss ant, has a nepotism adviser wanting to sell what to whom ass****
