Former Trump administration officials are attempting to tarnish the reputation of Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law and a top White House aide, according to White House lawyer Ty Cobb.

Cobb told The Washington Post that he believes senior White House aides leaked internal discussions about whether Kushner should be forced from the White House to hurt Trump's son in law. But he suggested Kushner's enemies are no longer within the White House.

"Those whose agendas were and remain focused on sabotaging him and his family for misguided personal reasons are no longer around," said Cobb, who was brought aboard in July to specialize in the Russia inquiry. "All clandestine efforts to undermine him never gained traction."

Cobb wouldn't say which former aides were behind the smear campaign, but the most likely culprit is ousted chief strategist Steve Bannon, a bitter rival of Kushner's during his time in the White House. In April, "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough said that Bannon was trashing Kushner to members of the media. “Reporters were the first to start telling me 3 weeks ago that Bannon was starting to regularly trash Jared to anyone who would listen,” Scarborough said in April.

1. Tarnish his reputation as a republican TreasonWeasel?

Hardly necessary. Decent and honorable folk already get it. republicans are choosing to keep their heads up their assess about russia's ongoing ACTS OF WAR* against the USA with the skanky, heinous, evil coordination of Comrade Casino and his Cabal of Corrupt republican cronies.

* per dick cheney and all 17 US Intelligence Agencies

4. Don't worry we'll get them all

We'll get Bannon in due time, but Kushner goes down first. Along with Donnie Junior and Trump's inner circle.
There's enough incrimination to go around, and Bannon will get his turn too.
