Trump Family Ally Is Arrested on Cyberstalking Charge

Ken Kurson, a close friend of President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, was taken into federal custody on Friday and charged with cyberstalking in connection with his divorce.

Mr. Kurson, who now runs a media company and works in the cryptocurrency industry, helped write a speech for the president’s 2016 campaign. When Mr. Kushner owned The New York Observer, the weekly newspaper, he appointed Mr. Kurson to be its editor in chief in 2013.

Mr. Kurson was also a longtime associate of Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer and the former New York City mayor.

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn accused Mr. Kurson of sending threatening and stalking messages to several people, including a friend whom he blamed for the deterioration of his marriage.

The F.B.I. has also gathered evidence that Mr. Kurson engaged in a similar pattern of harassment during his divorce proceedings in 2015, including installing software on someone’s computer to monitor keystrokes, the criminal complaint said. He also used aliases to contact that person’s employer to report false allegations of misconduct, according to the complaint.

i have family members. i think they deliberately don't think about the children because at best it makes them uncomfortable with their choice to follow dear leader.

and if they do I will know it is because of me being a patriot.

I read everyday about an employer saying if you vote for Biden you will lose your job or landlords raising rent if Biden wins.

These people are not going away or being fixed if we are allowed to cast and count votes (if we are trump cant win), they are going to continue to haunt decent people.

The SC will attack us for decades unless we do something there also.
