WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE PEOPLE????????
Washington (CNN)The President's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, continued to have private conversations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman following the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to The New York Times.
Kushner offered the de facto Saudi ruler advice "about how to weather the storm" following the death of Khashoggi, the Times reported on Saturday, citing a Saudi source familiar with the conversations.
Although White House protocol stipulated that National Security Council staff be present on all phone calls with foreign leaders, Kushner and bin Salman continued to chat informally after Khashoggi's death, the Times reported, citing two former senior American officials and two people briefed by the Saudis.
The White House did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment on the story.

Sure, it sucks when your action becomes public knowledge, but hey, you gotta turn that frown upside down, and realize that sunshine will follow the storm!
Bitter, bitter

No one should ever listen to Kushner.
