about this meeting with mr. kislyak and the meeting with the bank official. and mr. flynn didn t put down his meetings either. i think we re not going to have an issue of not getting to the fire and finding out what s going on here for some time. these people have been engaged in a lot of questionable, dubious activities. before we go, i know we re out of time, but the fact that jared kushner, mike flynn, jeff sessions, all missing information on those security forms, we ve heard rumblings that, well, the person they were working on it with, the fbi people said you didn t need to share that necessarily. does that hold water based on your reporting? we need to let the investigation run its course. these are complicated and there are technical issues here. to be honest, i think mike flynn has deeper problems than improperly filling out forms. there s indications of money going back to the turkish
trouble you? not at all. to be honest with you. it doesn t trouble you. no. jared kushner was involved in the campaign on policy. involved afterwards in the transition. to me, it s not inappropriate at all for him to be talking to people about, at least the substance what i heard about, we don t know this to be true, was, hey, will the russians back away from iran? that s a good thing to be talking to russia. with a back channel, to ask if he can have a communications channel directly to moscow as a member of the transition team. to me, look, there are all sorts of back channels established in lots of different capacities, and he s clearly a very close confidant of the president and for him to have a back channel doesn t bother me in the least. it doesn t. it s in a context, rick, he fails to disclose meetings with the russians on his security forms.
capacities and he s clearly a very close confidant of the president and it doesn t bother me in the least. doesn t. it s in a context, rick, he fails to disclose meetings with the russians on his security forms. there are p in the team, 18 failures to disclose contacts with russia. jim comey is fired for investigating russia. mike pence is lied to about russian contacts, so the question really is why all of this secrecy? what is going on underneath? it s classic conflation. this is a common sense question. is it about the fact that donald trump has got financial interests that benefit his ogss and he doesn t want people to know that? is it payback for the russians helping him get elected? covering up the michael steel
core. jared kushner shouldn t have been in any of these meetings in the first place, he is an unqualified real estate developer, everyone knows he wouldn t be in those meetings if he wasn t married to trump s daughter. once he did the meetings, tried to establish a secret back channel to russia and lied about it, trump fired the fbi director who is investigating his son-in-law. this is beyond partisan debates. people that are defending as normal behavior are deluding themselves, this is not normal behavior for a president to do. if you want to discuss syria with another foreign power, you can do it openly, don t have to do it secretly, don t need to lie about it, fail to disclose it on security forms. people need to take stock of this, say do we want to defend this behavior, it is rotten, there s something to it, needs to be investigate rapidly. either the president s chief adviser, one of his main advisers is compromised or has dubious dealings, either way it
he failed to disclose that from security clearance form. that s a violation of the law. he now fails to disclose these reuter contacts that the roeutes talked about. why we are calling russian ambassadors. why is the administration doing that, if you were to do that, jared kushner would have remembered those. michael hayden suggested that the reasons behind some of these, could it be that? do you agree? suggesting a back channel communication with russians who are not our allies maybe because jared kushner is naive but to do it to say that we need to use russian equipment at the russian embassy, now he s trying to hide something. there is a pure lying under his security forms. those are serious offenses. congressman,
