I guess my point is this, aside from Russia story: What if a story came out today that Trump sent a white house official to Tehran to set up a back channel early in his Presidency? How would that story play in the press today?

I don't have a problem with them, the issue at hand is what the back channel is being used for. Same goes for Tehran too. If he was using it for good reasons I wouldn't care, if he was using it to make shady backhand business deals that don't benefit the public I would absolutely care.
