“This meeting was known because it was turned in in the background checks in April, actually, for Jared Kushner,” Lankford said on CNN.
Then your first question, Cletus, should have been, “Why the fucking delay?”
“Because really, if a Republican does it, can it actually be treason? I didn’t think so. Which reminds of Hillary’s email server…”
“Jared, this meeting with the Russian lawyer on your background check, what the fuck was that about”
“Thats where we set up the deal with Russia and wikileaks”
“How come you gotta tell them about it?”
“They’ll find out anyway like Kislyak. it’s better this way.”
“Who else was there?”
“Fredo. And Paulie.”
“Fuck.”
“This meeting was known because it was turned in in the background checks in April, actually, for Jared Kushner,” Lankford said on CNN. “So it was a known meeting at that point. Getting the emails and getting the details of that meeting was not known.”
my effing god.
They’re deserting him. The rats are jumping ship. May they all drown.
I keep thinking about her as all this is revealed. It makes me furious.
So wait…I read something this morning claiming that this meeting only came to light because Kushner “recently” changed his background check… APRIL is “recently”?
Or was this meeting on the original application, and there is/are OTHER meetings he “recently” revealed?
CONFUSED.
Exactly.
Could be that Lankford is full of shit and an idiot. What a Baptist pastor is doing on the Intelligence Committee is beyond me.
Oklahoma is electing dems to the state legislature lately.
See my edited post above.
OT, but even Inside Edition’s reporting tonight looks bad on Trump. Showing people “Praying for an embattled president.”
This is one of the mindless TV shows the average hayseed gets their news from.
So why the hell does Kushner still have a security clearance? And why has he not been indicted for falsifying his security papers?
Republican congress.
OK, the reporting on IE looks not bad but very, very bad.
Edit: Seriously, everything was laid out in a way that impressed me. Simple yet concise.
So why the hell does Kushner still have a security clearance?
We don’t know that he does. WH spox refused to answer recently, when asked if Kushner still has his security clearance. Either a yes or a no answer would have been a liability for the WH, so we just don’t know and can’t even guess the status of that.
Now, I would not be surprised if there was a secret Russian cabal in the Senate. The Russian FSB had clear lines of communication with Jeff Sessions. They might have successfully recruited other white christian conservative Republican senators and members of congress sympathetic to Preshitident Anusmouth-Putindickholster’s character and his values. Several senators and members of Congress have been behaving as if their main allegiance is to Russian interests.
Totally OT but it goes much deeper than that
McClatchy DC discusses how Robert Mueller’s team is checking out Saint Jared’s data gathering operation.
No knock on @emquiry, @nicole_lafond or any of the other intrepid womyn doing their level-headed best at TPM. This level of reportage is available from a mid-level regional newspaper chain, offered without paid subscriptions or firewalls. Got that, @Millet?
I’m cautiously optimistic that the cluster*uck that is the Administration will end in a flame of ignominy, too large for the public to ignore.
Then I remember that the talking point from the GOP seems to be collusion is not a legal issue.
So what did the committee do with the information, Senator?
Maybe it’s about time someone on the Senate Intelligence Committee went through every single meeting on Jared’s disclosure form to gleen every detail. Makes me wonder what other kegs of dynamite are hidden there.
A bit disconcerting that Mueller reportedly didn’t know about this and the Senate Intelligence Committee just sat on it.
