******BREAKING******JARED KUSHNER UNDER FBI SCRUTINY

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and one of his senior advisers, has come under FBI scrutiny in the Russia investigation, multiple U.S. officials told NBC News.

Investigators believe Kushner has significant information relevant to their inquiry, officials said. That does not mean they suspect him of a crime or intend to charge him.

The FBI's scrutiny of Kushner places the bureau's sprawling counterintelligence and criminal investigation not only on the doorstep of the White House, but in the Trump family circle. The Washington Post first reported last week that a senior White House official close to Trump was a "person of interest," but did not name the person. The term "person of interest" has no legal meaning.

9. Interesting

"Investigators believe Kushner has significant information relevant to their inquiry, officials said. That does not mean they suspect him of a crime or intend to charge him."

Sounds like a fishing expedition, maybe

[***Jared Kushner now a focus in Russia investigation

By Matt Zapotosky, Sari Horwitz, Devlin Barrett and Adam Entous May 25 at 6:33 PM

Investigators are focusing on a series of meetings held by Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and an influential White House adviser, as part of their probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and related matters, according to people familiar with the investigation.

Kushner, who held meetings in December with the Russian ambassador and a banker from Moscow , is being investigated because of the extent and nature of his interactions with the Russians, the people said.

The Washington Post reported last week that a senior White House official close to the president was a significant focus of the high-stakes investigation, though it did not name Kushner.

FBI agents also remain keenly interested in former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, but Kushner is the only current White House official known to be considered a key person in the probe.

14. I predict this smarmy little punk will fold.

He'll give up Trump and anyone else to stay out of jail.

[grantcart]

16. Except Trump is the only one to keep him out of jail.

Trump has the ultimate "get out of jail" card.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. Ehh...

I don't think he is sophisticated enough to throw someone like Drumpf under the bus. He might collude with Drumpf to throw Manafort, Page, and Flynn under the bus though.

I mentioned in another thread that there is a lot of cannon fodder out there that they can use to throw in front of themselves as protection so they can get away - sortof like this -

(and happy 40th anniversary of Star Wars day!)

15. lol everyone identified Kushner as soon as the Post reported that the FBI had a sr adviser

Including 70% of DU.

19. I'm simply pointing out the intersection of Mensch tweets and later corroboration

Something you wouldn't, though you should.

[grantcart]

21. I have and posted it extensively.

Her ground breaking post that Trump was already under sealed indictment, even though US Presidents are indicted due to separation of power

https://patribotics.blog/2017/05/14/exclusive-sealed-indictment-granted-against-donald-trump/

which was laughed out of the water

or her post where she said the Marshal of the Supreme Court had already met with Trump to notify him that impeach had already begun, even though the SC has nothing to do with the house impeachment

http://www.mediaite.com/online/twitter-loses-it-when-louise-mensch-says-marshal-of-the-supreme-court-told-trump-about-impeachment/

Or her bizarre conspiracy posts that include Putin murdering Breitbart


You on the other hand pointed out no intersections between tweets just what you think she tweeted. The identification of Kushner last week was by mainline news sources and everyone new that they were talking about Kushner.

You want an "intersection" how about this?

The whacko right is sinking under an avalanche of facts about the crimes of Trump.

their only response is led by Hannity "fake news" all fake news

Link to tweet

?lang=en


Now we have Mensch flooding her website (which you can donate to) with obvious and laughable fake news.


Both Hannity and Mensch have the same employer NewsCorp, under Robert Murdoch. How is that for an intersection.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Sure, except Mensch linked him two months ago, not a week ago like your thread.

28. You have an aggressive inability to stay on point

Nothing in your link has to do with FBI scrutiny of Jared Kushner.

The fact that Kushner and Trump cooperated on everything they did is not news.

Read what Mensch is saying. She clearly says that she "BELIEVES" is on tape talking to a Russian spy.

She is NOT saying that she has any source for this information. She has admitted that sometimes she reports from "sources" and other times she is just stating her "beliefs"

For example she said that she "believes" that Putin had Breitbart killed. She later said that people should not take her literally when she says she "believes" anything because it is not based on fact.

In any case your citing her "belief" (which she admits is not based on sources or fact) is completely off the point, the point (try and concentrate) was specific to the question of the FBI identifying a person close to the President as a "person of interest" and the other poster suggesting that Mensch beat everyone to identify who it was. I think everyone had a very strong "belief" of who it was. The news media who broke the story did everything but say "we can't tell you who it is but it rhymes to Mared Bushner".

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. You have an aggressive inability to read that which you claim has nothing about the FBI

You say "Nothing in your link has to do with FBI scrutiny of Jared Kushner."

The link says "Permission was granted for the FBI to look at intercepts that involved US persons as they related to this campaign / money laundering." She goes on to say that she thinks Kushner is on those intercepts ("tapes&quot . In March.

They hit numerous details that are pretty damning.
