hhhhmhmmm…has anybody here ever met a banker who didn’t want to discuss business at the exclusion of every other possible topic under the sun? I haven’t.

For months talking heads on TV have assured us that Mueller and his team are thorough. This though–like other aspects of the report–strikes me as anything but thorough. Why did Mueller let so much slide on the conspiracy front? From the report:

The investigation did not resolve the apparent conflict in the accounts of Kushner and Gorkov or determine whether the meeting was diplomatic in nature (as Kushner stated), focused on business (as VEB’s public statement indicated), or whether it involved some combination of those matters or other matters.

Folks, the headline could read: “Kushner Passes Top-Secret Info to Putin” and the GOP would shrug and claim he’s “new to politics”. There is no one minding the store. The GOP has devolved into a mafia organization bent on brute, ugly power grabs and total disregard for the US Constitution. And, in the end, nothing will be done about it. Just watch.

He’s right. They weren’t discussing business. They were discussing bribery in exchange for helping America’s enemies and how to avoid getting caught. I doubt there was any legitimate business discussed at all.

See, turns out Gorkov is a huge Monster Truck fan! And so am I! That’s what we discussed. Motors, suspension systems, you know. Yeah, that’s it.

Of course they didn’t discuss business. They spent the entire time together talking about Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” album.

Well, technically is planning treason really “business”?

It’s more of a not-so-secret mission for Donnie and his GOP enablers.

And Jared was just there to deliver the Starbucks order.

“The President tweeted Tuesday that he was pleased with his son-in-law’s performance.”

We all know that “performance” means acting or playing a role or offering a pretense.

Look, at this point nobody in this administration has any credibility. Just Jared can’t even remember to properly fill out his security clearance forms. I wouldn’t trust this dilettante at all.

He is so slimy and characterized the Russian interference as a few Facebook ads. Fuck him, it was more than F.B. and he knows it. Subpoena this punk and make him testify on camera.

I want to see this pencildick on the hot seat before a House committee. I want to see the little pisher squirm for hours under the lights. Go ahead and lie to them, dickweed.

Kushner met with Gorkov on Dec. 13, 2016 upon Kislyak’s urging, days after the first public reports that U.S. intelligence agencies had concluded that Russia had worked to help Trump’s campaign and hurt Hillary Clinton’s.

Kusher was still serving as chief executive of Kushner Companies at the time, and VEB was (and still is) subject to U.S. sanctions as a result of Russia’s annexation of Crimea, raising questions as to the purpose of the meeting. Gorkov later said that he met with Kushner in Kushner’s capacity as a CEO.

Kushner’s statement Tuesday is yet another insistence from the senior White House adviser that the meeting was meant to be diplomatic and unrelated to his business.

This doesn’t even come close to passing the smell test. Even if the meeting was for “business” why was the son-in-law doing business within the purview of diplomacy when his father-in-law just won the election? I know that Jared thinks he’s being very slick here but it just makes him look bad no matter which way you slice it.

Would he say the same thing if he was talking to the FBI?
