The elephant in the room this morning is the recent discovery of top White House Staffer and son-in-law, Jared Kushner's (alleged) efforts to establish back channel communications with known spy recruiter and Russian Ambassador, Sergey Kislyak. Naturally, the once-surging Santorum carried water for the (alleged) abhorrent actions of First Lady-Daughter Ivanka's dear husband.
Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm was dumbstruck by Santorum's defense of this clearly historic level of malevolent intent to cozy up to a hostile foreign adversary like Russia!
DANA BASH: Kushner is now the focus. A focus I should say of the FBI's investigation for his contacts with Russia during the transition. Senator Santorum, does this trouble you?
SANTORUM: Not at all. To be 'honest' with you. Jared Kushner was involved in the campaign on policy, involved afterwards, to me, it's not inappropriate at all for him to be talking to people about, at least the substance, we don't know this to be be true. Hey, will the Russians back away from Iran. that's a good thing to be talking to Russia.
BASH With a back channel? To ask if he can have a communications channel directly to Moscow as a member of the --?
