Jared Kushner Now Under FBI Scrutiny in Russia Probe, Say Officials

Dunno if it was the guardian but i remember someone saying it's jared
It was the independent and they sourced the name from a writer who said on Twitter he had confirmed it was Jared. This is a little more substantial, afaik it's the first time he's been named as the person of interest in an article by a reporter with WH sources.

You know how Team America vulgarized arabic to "derka derka derka derka"? Now everytime someone will verbally fellate god Emperor Trump, all I'll be hearing is "dirca dirca dirca dirca".

White House aide Jared Kushner said Thursday that Mr. Kushner would cooperate with any investigations into meetings he had with Russians, amid a federal probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Mr. Kushner’s attorney, Jamie Gorelick, said in a statement: “Mr. Kushner previously volunteered to share with Congress what he knows about these meetings. He will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry.”

Mr. Kushner hasn’t been contacted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, people familiar with the investigation said. One person familiar with the investigation said Mr. Kushner’s contacts with Russians have been scrutinized by federal investigators for months.

Lolol you wish. Show me just one post of mine where I've publicly supported or praised anything Trump's done while in office. I didn't even vote for him. I'm saying he won't be impeached, nothing more.

Come the fuck on. Your posts on the Donald.

Trump could cure cancer tomorrow and give it away free, this forum would still hate him.

At this point, who cares? It's been pretty much the same exact headline for months now. Nothing has changed, business as usual...the sky is falling, the sky is falling.

Wow, a sneak preview of the next outrage. I wonder if this will top his previous outings?

Oh yeah, the arm chair politicians/detectives and hyperbole in this thread are record levels high

Another impeach Trump article? Yaaaawn.

Hyperbole, panic, and outrage oh my!

All of you laughing at him and talking trash know this one will most likely be far worse and won't easily be blocked, right?

Don't even care. Gladly eat there several times a month.

You are transparent as fuck. Posts without links are from closed threads.
 
Ok, so if they suspect you and you take the 5th, that's not supposed to mean you are guilty


If they only want Jared because of what he knows about other people and he takes the fifth...doesn't that mean his own guilt WOULD be revealed by what he says?
 
I really hope something comes out of all of this investigation. Im excited but I dont wanna get hyped only to have no charges once this big investigation is over
 
Please stop paying attention to Jon Cooper.

Yep. He's in that same boat of untrustworthiness as Mensch (who's probably actually working to undermine liberals) and Taylor.

Doesn't mean Jared's not in trouble, though. I'm sure he's got skeletons a plenty, and it's likely if the FBI has him within their scope already that they're a couple steps ahead of whatever move he's planning next.

Not a single one of those examples show any support for Trump or his policies. None of them are praising him or saying anything positive about him. The rest aren't even related to what I asked, but still, show nothing relating to supporting or praising Trump. And yes, I LOVE Chick-fil-A.

Take a look at our fucking justice system over the last 30 years and tell me you honestly think he will face any severe repercussions. I have several threads here saying I think he's guilty as fuck, but I still doubt he will ever be impeached.

He'll get impeached if his approval ratings keep going down. Its not even 6 months and he's hitting some insane lows. If the GOP finds its better to dump him then it is to keep him around you bet they'll turn on him. We'll see what the future brings but its been a pretty steady downward spiral for Donny and he's only made matters worse for himself again and again. He's his own worst enemy.

This shit needs to stop. It's not supposed to be allowed.
 
Didn't The Guardian report this about a week ago?

iirc WaPo said a senior administration official was under scrutiny and a reporter said on twitter it was Kushner. At the time no major outlet published it was Kushner, which probably meant that reporter didn't have enough sources/evidence to publish with. Looks like multiple outlets were able to confirm who it was.

These leaks feel targeted to make nervous people jump or make mistakes. Hide a transaction, retroactively file something, buy a plane ticket etc.


When a name gets dropped I suspect that person is already guy screwed and the investigation on them nice and watertight - manafort, Flynn, etc.

Oh, it's definitely something that the IC are behind. They've been coordinated as hell for the past couple of weeks with this stuff and it's been giving Trump hell, amidst everything else.

That said, given how slow this thread has been progressing, I'm wondering if we're all starting to feel a bit fatigued from the leaks? Or perhaps this report, along with the Sessions report yesterday, have been struggling to have the same momentum with the media and GAF since they're being overshadowed by the whole Body Slam scandal and its related special election?

I never thought I'd say this, but I think I am feeling fatigued from the leaks. I think part of the problem is that it's unclear what the point of the leaks is right now -- the previous leaks made sense as part of a strategy to push for the appointment of a special prosecutor, but now that we have Mueller, I'm not sure what to do with the new information. It would make sense to start leaking things to prepare the public when indictments are about to drop, but as much as I'd like to believe the Twitter randos, it seems like the consensus is that the investigation will take a long time. So what exactly is the game plan? Leak new details that stop just short of confirming collusion every day for the next year? Even if every Trump staffer met with Kislyak, a leak per staffer probably wouldn't fill up a year...

Nah, more like this and the Sessions detail were fairly expected, minor developments among everything else. These aren't bombshells, they're the small stepping stones between bombshells.

If I had to wager a guess, the IC's plan is essentially "Death by a Thousand Cuts" from the leaks. They're letting loose the floodgates to constantly barrage Trump and sink his numbers as low as possible, and possibly just keep pressuring him nonstop until he caves in and resigns.

However, it might be that they have to back off from the leaks for a while soon, so that the fatigue can wear off and they can then come back strong with more leaks and scandals.
