22. But was Kushner the main link into the system?

Trump has ties to Russia, sure. And there is certainly dirt there too. But Russia would not want him directly involved for obvious reasons, so was Kushner the go between? He has HUGE influence with DT but is basically a cipher in the press. I read his voice had some sort of calming effect on Trump. When he got overly anxious during the election, the reports were that Kushner would just talk quietly to him calmly for long periods of time in on the plane and Trump would chill. But Kushner never talks TO the press, so I have no idea what his voice even sounds like. That is so spy-like in itself. The guy on the margins who doesn't talk much but pulls all the strings. He would be the perfect go between.
