Jared was in on it from the beginning

...............

According to four people familiar with the matter, in the week following Election Day in early November of that year, Kushner took charge in overseeing the development of plans to keep Trump in office — Kushner just wasn’t publicly ostentatious about it in the way Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others were. During that first week, Kushner repeatedly met with Trump and other high-ranking aides to the then-president to discuss and map out possible strategies for multi-pronged legal battles and a scorched-earth messaging war against the victorious Biden campaign, the knowledgeable sources tell Rolling Stone.

Despite all the strong evidence to the contrary, Kushner told Trump that there could still be a path for the then-president in a number of critical states, including Arizona, that had already been called for Biden. In those early days of the scheme to overturn the election, two of the sources say, Kushner also personally encouraged Trump to fight on and ignore people who were saying it was over, and to stick to the burgeoning plans and court challenges spearheaded by the 2020 campaign attorneys and senior staff. Kushner was, of course, in the room with these fellow Trump lieutenants when the plans were first being crafted. (Axios reported this at the time as the trusted son-in-law urging Trump to explore and pursue “legal remedies” to the election results.)

Earlier this week, The New York Times published an article titled, “How Jared Kushner Washed His Hands of Donald Trump Before Jan. 6” — renewing questions of just how complicit Kushner was in his father-in-law’s months-long attempted coup d’état.

“Jared was directly involved,” one of these sources, a former senior Trump aide who worked on the effort to nullify the election outcome, said. “There was a [brief] window…when it seemed like he was positioning himself to be the Jim Baker of this fight … It didn’t last long. He backed away from it, but he was there and got his hands dirty like everyone else did.” (Baker, a towering figure in the Republican Party, helmed the legal team for George W. Bush during the chaotic Florida recount that ultimately handed Bush the presidency.)

“Jared helped create what then morphed into the Rudy clown show,” the source added.

He had his fingers in everything (not that he was good at any of what he was tasked with).

7. J6 committee probably has testimony....

...from witnesses that Jared (and all the treasonous insiders) planned and supported all of the insurrectionist events that took place. The clip they showed Thursday night of that smug pos was played because he was dealing out pardons to the guilty. I can't wait for act 2. Who wants to bet he and Ivanka end up in Saudi Arabia before this is over?

and thus won't be pursued by that committee. They'd never get anything done if they had to investigate all of the Slobfather's corruption.

Investigated for those shenanigans from the get go! Haven't heard a word. Sure seems like kushner's filthy little claws were raking in big bucks stealing state emergency supplies. They didn't even try to hide it, they bagged about swooping in and stealing whole shipments out from under states, After forcing states into bidding wars against each other. It was something else! I think a lot of the American public has forgotten all the bs the Trump administration was pulling, because it was none stop crimes or scandals every damn day!

I doubt he has the brainpower to do anything else.

None of these people are very bright, and for that we need to thank jeebus. If they were, they would have succeeded.

he is deep into this cauldron of death, conspiracy and treason. Opinion: he is one of the planners. His daughter looks like she had some self-respect heard telling her daddy it was over when it was to cover her hubby's ass...since his base would believe I and J were together in this. She knew and he knew d. trump would try to overthrow our form of government.

17. I want to know how and what they communicated to Congress

There was an orchestrated plan and Republican Representatives played their role well.
Did the Reps know Trump lost and voted not to certify anyway?
I want to know how my Rep, Elise Stefanik was involved.
Did she request pardon?
