Two Russian state institutions with close ties to Vladimir Putin funded substantial investments in Twitter and Facebook through a business associate of Jared Kushner, leaked documents reveal.

The investments were made through a Russian technology magnate, Yuri Milner, who also holds a stake in a company co-owned by Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior White House adviser.

The discovery is likely to stir concerns over Russian influence in US politics and the role played by social media in last year’s presidential election. It may also raise new questions for the social media companies and for Kushner.

Mueller just got a lot of new material to work with.
More suspects, more evidence. The investigation should be long.

And Facebook asks Twitter need to be watched closely.

1. GOOD GRIEF what a tangled web we weave...

They're all inter-twined - and all roads from all things trump continue to lead to Moscow. (And I DON'T mean Moscow, Idaho!)

2. Kushner should NOT

atill have a job in the administration, since he lied to get high security clearance. Clear violation of the rules. Imagine ANYTHING like this in an Obama or Clinton administration? The gop would have half a dozen "committees" in place, all vying to get their faces on TV.

9. Just who....

would do anything about this? No one in the Trump administration gives a hoot about rules or laws. They believe they're completely above the law. They'll continue to break the law right up until the steel bars go clank in prison, and then they'll break as many laws as they can over the phone and in letters. They cannot exist within the law. That's part of their psychosis.

3. Facebook, Russia, Twitter, Trump Campaign, Mercers, Bannon, Wikileaks, RNC talking points, ....

.... unending and unneeded hearings into HRC, Fox News, Putin, Bank of Cyprus, Flynn,
Manafort, Kushner, FSB, Prevezon Holdings, and so on all one and the same.

5. Wow. Could explain why Trump has been trying to distance himself from Jared lately.

Jared is dirty as hell.

10. There's Ivanka's...

grounds for divorce (and I think that's in the cards within a year or two).

Just look what Jared did to her poor father!

6. Sounds like a bombshell!

7. What are the chances that Kushner didn't lie about this to the FBI?

8. Facebook admitted publicly they had Facebook employees physically placed in Trump's campaign.

11. Kushner going to prison like his Daddy.
