This week, Keith Olbermann, host of the GQ's web show The Resistance, launched into an unhinged rant and openly called for the arrest of White House adviser and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner for doing something that isn’t even illegal. Finally having found a home at GQ News after being fired from other outlets for breaking ethics rules, Olbermann has become a leader of "the resistance" to the new administration by playing to the hard left on his "news segments" posted to the magazine's YouTube channel.

The segment, titled "Shouldn’t Jared Kushner be Arrested?" began with Olbermann accusing Kushner of breaking virtually every law, saying “if he should not be suspected of money laundering, racketeering, and influence peddling than he should be suspected of obstruction of justice and espionage, and possibly worse. There is no other option that can be reasonably entertained.”

Olbermann went on to read the Espionage Act, insinuating that Kushner was not just creating a back channel with Russia, but that he was spying on the government for them. What was his proof? Mainstream media articles about a leaked phone call the Russian ambassador had on an unsecured phone, saying that Kushner said he wanted to use Russian infrastructure to establish a back channel.

Again, Olbermann was calling for the arrest of a White House official, an official that has passed countless security checks to gain that position, because of a leaked conversation about another conversation. Expert Stephen Vladeck on the subject of presidential back channels even said that this was “light years away from either a Logan Act or an Espionage Act investigation” in a recent USA Today interview.

This conversation was caught because of heavy surveillance of Russian officials in the United States by the intelligence community, something the Russians know is happening. This is why Russia has built a strong system of encrypted communication channels to be used by its officials when discussing sensitive information between them, which is why many found it odd that Ambassador Kislyak chose not to use those lines of communication, but instead one that would be expected to be under surveillance. Olbermann could have mentioned any of this information, but instead, he chose to yell “Arrest Kushner now!” directly into the camera.

As it looked like this was about to end, Olbermann went on to something else, as if thinking that this segment was not yet embarrassing enough. Speaking about members of the Trump administration, Olbermann stated:

These people do not believe in the law. These people do not believe in patriotism. These people do not believe in the United States of America. These people, Kushner, his wife, Trump, General Allen, General McMaster, General Flynn, [and] the others are, in their souls if not under the law, traitors to this country and no matter which excuse Jared Kushner has for proposing to talk to Russia using secret Russian communications while surrounded by Russian spies, inside Russian territory, there is but one answer: arrest Kushner now!

That’s right, Keith Olbermann has now decided that one four-star general and two three-star generals, along with many senior members of the executive branch, are unpatriotic traitors to this country.
