I don't know... I think its a bit suspect how Trump supporters label all critical news as fake news. Its a bit over the top and desperate.

Its not only the Post, it’s also the Times and the WSJ and other news outlets. There going to roast Trump!...In a huge tag team and also it’s the leakers. They are likely from the FBI. This is a powerful and organized effort.
Look at the owners of the Post and the NYT.

Haha... so you're going with pure denial... Well, that's an option.
Nope. There is no evidence. Just hearsay based on "anonymous" sources.
Surely after months and months of this "confirmed" stuff, and all these alleged officials coming forward, someone would leak an actual document or something? Some piece of paper that actually proves it?
Until then I will continue to assume this is all lies because these news organisations are simply not to be trusted anymore.

Oh no...not ANONYMOUS SOURCES again...sigh. I was going to read this thread until seeing your post. Thanks for the tip. Moving along....
Ambassador Sergei Kislyak told his superiors in Moscow that he and Kushner discussed ways to shield their pre-inauguration discussions from monitoring

Trump’s son-in-law made the proposal at a meeting in early December at Trump Tower in New York, weeks before Trump was sworn in, according to intercepts of Russian communications that were reviewed by the US officials

Current and former US intelligence officials were astonished that he would have requested a secret back channel, calling it “naive” or “crazy” given the FBI’s close tabs on Russian officials in the US, the Post reported.

In a separate development, the Washington Post also reported that the Senate intelligence committee, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential race, has asked Trump’s political organization to produce all documents, emails and phone records dating from his campaign’s launch in June 2015.

Maybe I can start my own newspaper. This stuff seems really easy. Just make up a bunch of crap with a globalist-leaning slant and add the usual buzzwords.

So why the need for secret communications?
Now, why would the Trump admin need a secret back channel if they had been colluding with Russia all along?
Kushner, then President-elect Trump’s son-in-law and confidant, made the proposal during a meeting on Dec. 1 or 2 at Trump Tower

Perhaps because the alleged links between the administration and Russia were big news in December and a secret channel was deemed necessary to avoid further scrutiny of their contacts.

Wouldn't that indicate that Trump Towers was in fact wiretapped?
Seriously, do you folks who really want this to be true, apply any critical thinking at all?

No , according to the article linked by the OP the information is said to come from intercepts of Russian communications.

If there are links between the President of the USA and an enemy power I want them to be exposed , don't you ?
I find Trumps antagonism toward the press and security services suspicious and indicative of someone with something to hide , time will tell if that suspicion is borne out .
