Pence is probably out, too, but even if not, he'll be a paper tiger and run into many of the same issues, and then some, as Trump.

Cant u c kushner is a spy!?

If he isn't in the US right now, I wouldn't give him odds on survival.

the other possibility is some of them (e.g. Peter Thiel who decamped to new zealand at the end of January) realised the shit they were in and mistakes they were making pre-election, and actually wanted more badly to win so trumps fixers could get into office and clean it all up quietly.
Phil Mudd is on though! Not Kingston.

Even if he's not named in collusion, he's obstructed justice multiple different times. If this comes to a head, it'll be just as bad
It's hard for me to believe that Trump didn't know about this

money.
the only billionaires that would happily mix their business with trump were Russia/Ukraine oligarchs.
Even if he is in USA his changes of keeping breathing for that much longer just cratered.

Yeah that was my reaction reading that too.
As much as I would say that is normally the case,Trump and his team have been working more closely with lawyers after the special counsel was convened. Any lawyer worth his money is likely telling his client to not comment on anything till they can formulate a statement that would not hurt their legal position.

He owes 1 billion in loans. He probably floated that money from the Russians for favors. This might have been one of them. This is what I believe I think. There's so much to his story lol

Trump is the leaker. He did say he loves chaos. Makes sense to me.

Yeah.
Nobody tells Trump what to do.
Where does it say Kushner wanted him fired?

"More centipede shoes." McCain grimaces, "If only I could do something."
There's zero chance this is all just some huge shock for him. But the real question I have is.. are they going to nail him on collusion charges or just lesser ones like obstruction of justice?
Either way, as long as he gets the fuck out, I'm happy. But I hope justice will prevail.
I believe it was according to sources. That Kushner was pushing Trump to fire him.

Let's be real, people will forget about this story by Monday. Unless there is hard proof half of America will assume nothing happened.

It was reported at one point that he was one of the ones pushing Trump to fire Comey, despite multiple others telling Trump that it would be a bad idea and make the whole thing explode.

Trump fired Comey for Kushner (according to one report) to try and stop the investigation.
He wanted to win, but he didn't want the job.

Given what we know about their relationship, I wouldn't be surprised if the leaker was actually Bannon.

I don't think Bannon is in any position to know this kind of stuff.

I finally realized what that orange coloring on Trump is, it's a teflon coat. His family and cabinet members just wear a lighter shade. It's getting ridiculous the shit that keeps coming out that would've destroyed a black or woman president. I wonder why that is?

Chris Hayes calling out Mike Pence on lying about all this. Mmmhmmm
You're joking, but this is entirely plausible.

In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power.
In their case they just want even more money and power. Oh, and probably blackmail from Trump being bailed out by the Russians. We can clearly see that he has no leadership skills.

Yeah for hardcore liberals and Trump haters, but not for anyone else.

I really hope they can show Trump had knowledge otherwise it seems like they will pin everything on Kushner, Trump will feign ignorance and let Kush take the fall for him. I mean he had to have been told by someone higher up to do this right? Why would he decide to do it on his own since it's blatantly sketchy/illegal as shit? Wasn't he named Secretary of Fix Everything Wrong With The U.S. by Trump or something?
It's the top story on Fox News
