It's all perfectly reasonable:

    “I don't know who leaked this supposed conversation, but just think about it this way,” Graham told CNN’s Dana Bash. “You have got the ambassador to Russia reporting back to Moscow on an open channel, ‘Hey, Jared Kushner is going to move into the embassy.’ I don't trust this story as far as I can throw it.”

    He added, “It makes no sense that the Russian ambassador would report back to Moscow on a channel that he most likely knows we're monitoring. The whole storyline is suspicious.”

Because obviously if Kushner and Kislyak are communicating, it must be on an open channel and we must have gotten the intel on something Kislyak know's we're monitoring it's literally the only possible explanation.

You know how 2008 we had a recession that wasn't a depression and a recovery that wasn't a recovery? I think in 2017 we have an impeachment that isn't an impeachment and a recovery that isn't a recovery. Merckel's "you do you" speech is pretty much spot on.
