FBI Russia investigation is 'now at the door of the Oval office', says former Obama administration s
Source: Independent U.K.
Hes the man Donald Trump considers a very smart guy, a very good guy, and a quality person. So smart, so good and with such qualities, indeed, that he blessed his marriage to his eldest daughter, gave him a White House job and tasked him with bringing peace to the Middle East.
Now, it has been confirmed Jared Kushner is a focus of the FBIs investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russias alleged effort to influence the 2016 election.
The Washington Post said investigators were looking at a series of meetings Kushner held last year with Russian officials, including Moscows Ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak.
Right now, were at the door of the Oval Office, Juliette Kayyem, a political analyst who served in Barack Obamas Department of Homeland Security, told The Independent. Its getting wider in terms of its theory, and its getting faster. All of these things explain why the President is lawyering up.

(1,588 posts)Russia would not be safe any more.
I think Putin has gotten what he wants.
I am sure moles have been planted.
Plenty of republicans bought off or videos to be shared.
I still think Flynn was bought in to gather military secrets.
Wasn't he with Trump getting briefed before Trump took office.
Flynn could got a lot information before he left.
I think that was the reason for the delay.
Mexico is the close by maybe Canada.
From there to slip away.

(21,215 posts)But I don't think Mexico would be safe for them, for some reason...
Maybe other places in South America...

Maybe in a jungle type setting.
It will have to be a place out of the way.
Maybe make a deal with a drug dealer for protection.
Lots of money.

(7,419 posts)Not to say they wouldn't do it. After all, these are some pretty stupid people with very little effort at forethought. Upon arrival at their little jungle paradise they'll surely breath a huge sigh of relief and with the next breath scream in horror at the absence of Nieman Marcus, Sax, et al. Then there's the mosquitoes.

Fancy vacation house.
I think they will get caught trying to get away.
Uncle Putin will want to clean up his mess.
It will be either max security prison or jungle home.
For me to win somebody has to run.

(19,273 posts)I think the Trump "brand" is pretty much history now. Who wants to be associated with the WORST president in American history, and the ONLY president guilty of treason? A smattering of Trumptards, I'm sure. Maybe some old friends (does he even HAVE friends?). I think you can pretty much wipe your butt with the Trump "brand" now.

(9,633 posts)I know we have been getting leaks, most likely from the White House, but Mueller's investigation might not leak like things have up to now.
I'm afraid we may not hear much about what is going on for awhile. Meanwhile, #45 will continue to swing the wrecking ball.

(258 posts)I won't say "shocking" because nothing can shock any of us any more, but here is the quote:
"Just this week, it was Kushner who sat in on Trumps meeting with Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu, while national security advisor HR McMaster was excluded."

Ooh ooh, pick Wonkette, pick Wonkette! We know about those meetings! We wrote about one of them to you in March, explaining that Jared had a secret back-door meeting during the Trump transition AT TRUMP TOWER with both Michael Flynn and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. (When we say back door, we dont mean like in the butt, we literally mean the Russian came in the back door.) Then later in March we learned about a second meeting with the Russian ambassador that Jared didnt actually actually go to (probably getting a pedicure) so he sent his deputy, which is hilarious because it means that Jared has a deputy. We ALSO learned about a third meeting, where Jared met with this other Russian dude Sergey Gorkov, who is the head of a Russian state-owned bank called Vnesheconombank (VEB). We dont know what they talked about (hair products probably) but that was a meeting Jared surely did fail to report! That bank, by the way, is under sanctions right now!
Fun fact: Gorkov ALSO used to be deputy chair of another Russian state-owned bank called Sberbank, which is currently being represented by Marc Kasowitz, the lawyer Trump has just retained to defend him against all things Russia scandal. And Sberbank was a sponsor of Trumps 2013 Moscow Miss Universe pageant, and the CEO threw a sexxxxxxxy dinner during that trip where Trump got to meet 10 of Russias finest oligarchs and OH FUCK YALL RACHEL MADDOWS GLENN BECK WHITE BOARD IS GONNA BE BALLIN TONIGHT.
