And it appeared to be from somebody inside the transition or inside trump tower who was concerned about what this person was seeing. And a lot of whats written or conveyed in this letter has sort of come become true over time. Its taken a while for a lot of this stuff to surface, including this detail about this discussion over a back channel or a private channel of communications with moscow. Again i just want to im trying to sort of bend over to read this as charitably as possible. So i mean is it possible that they were setting up lots of different back channels with lots of different foreign leaders . Well, we dont i mean i suppose its possible.
