The Daily D'oh: Kushner Now a Focus of Investigation

  • 5 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

There is so much breaking news lately on the ever-widening allegations about Russian ties to the Trump campaign that it can be difficult to keep track of everything. With that in mind, we’ve created what we’re calling “The Daily D’oh!” to help you stay up-to-date on President Trump and the rest of the White House staff as more news emerges about Russia, James ComeyRobert Mueller, special investigations and everything else related to this ongoing crisis…

 

♦ D’OH!
We’re going to just stick with one “D’oh!” today — and it’s a doozy. From the Washington Post:

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.

This is where the Russia investigation gets much trickier for President Trump. With family members starting to pop up as persons of interest, Trump may soon have to decide whether he wants to make a deal with federal investigators to save his kin.

  1. Bannon probably got the ball rolling on this investigation as payback for Jared trying to muscle Bannon out of the West Wing…..

  2. Trump not only is NOT draining the swamp, he's adding to it. The odor of sleaze, along with the leaks emanating from it, make this the worst administration in modern times, in just slightly more than 4 months in office. At least there are people like McMaster and Mattis around; also the new head of the VA.

  3. Where there's smoke, there's огонь?

    The Washington Post has broken a story on Jared Kushner's interaction with the Russians:

    Jared Kushner and Russia’s ambassador to Washington discussed the possibility of setting up a secret and secure communications channel between Trump’s transition team and the Kremlin, using Russian diplomatic facilities in an apparent move to shield their pre-inauguration discussions from monitoring, according to U.S. officials briefed on intelligence reports.

    1. Meanwhile, back in New York . . .

      . . . we're starting to get just about enough Russians now in close contact with TeamRUMP to fill a new Dostoevsky novel — The Idiot, 2016.
