Here's why Jared Kushner belongs in prison




Unrolled in Tami Burages' Threadreader:

What Paul Manafort wouldn't give up to Mueller's team:
He was never the campaign point person with Russia. Jared Kushner was.


Shortly after the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, the Kushners made a trip to Russia. They spent 4 days there and hung out with oligarchs VERY close to Putin.

Roman Abramovich: billionaire oligarch, Chelsea owner, Kremlin ally – and, apparently, pals with Jared and Ivanka

While there (Feb 2014) the Kushners attended a gala alongside the heads of Alfa Bank and LetterOne.

And according to this article, "Since that night, a cone of silence seems to have descended on many of the attendees, usually gossipy folks who now refuse to talk about it."
Most of the talking points around Trump collusion with Russia involve the Trump Tower meeting or Manafort/Kilimnik.

But what almost everyone misses is what Kushner was doing.
While Trump was publicly running down how he would execute Putin's wish list if he were President (e.g. "NATO is dead," "We don't need sanctions," "Let's move out of Syria) ...

KUSHNER went to a pro-Russia think tank to get advice on Trump's foreign policy team.
Why ON EARTH would Kushner go to Dimitri Simes for this?
Remember who Kushner interfaced with in Russia in February 2014?
The heads of Alfa and LetterOne. THEY told him who to hook up with.

Then Vlad gave Trump a call & reminded him who's really the boss.

It's hard to guess how stupid he really is. Also it's hard to guess how much of this is his idea, or is he doing what Big Daddy Chump wants?

In a perfect world, he would occupy the cell next to his father-in-Law.

The country that sent his dad to prison. We know this is a big thorn in his paw because of his work on prison reform and his hatred for Chris Christie, who prosecuted his dad as US Attorney. He would seem the most likely of the people in Trump's orbit to switch national allegiances.
