Discussion: Senior Kushner Aide Leaving WH For Family's Real Estate Company

It’s call consolidation.
Gather the pieces you can steal and get the hell out of town before the floor begins to shake.
Another words: RATS jumping ship.

It’s also called “couldn’t get security clearance”. We’ll see many departures in the near future of untrustables wanting to spend more time with their families…

Brooke Rollins, a former aide to Texas ex-Gov. Rick Perry who heads the Texas Public Policy Foundation on Prison Reform.

Prison reform is usually something conservative ex-cons do, so not sure what to think of this woman.

She’s smart, a good lawyer, a staunch Republican.

During the campaign she served on Trump’s economic advisory team. Since then, she has been helping him review judicial candidates.

I doubt she’ll have much trouble getting any required security clearance; I suppose there’s a small chance of some conflict of interest involving her husband (he’s in the energy business).

So the head of the “Office for American Innovation” will be headed by someone who used to work for a guy who thinks fossil fuels are the future. Got it.

So you are saying his aide can get a security clearance but he can’t.

Makes sense.

When Trump proclaimed he was going to “drain the swamp,” that was hilarious. Actually, it was sickening in its grotesque hypocrisy.

Oh, for the good old days when wingnut welfare was funded by billionaires instead of directly by the taxpayer.

And, who according to @cervantes has been helping President Trump review those only qualified by ideology judicial candidates with whom the Administration and Mitch McConnell are rushing to pack the federal bench. So much like the Reagan Administration all over again.

Kushner says, “We are grateful to have her join the Office of American Innovation.”
Where she will be giving remedial on the job education to Kushner on his disclosure forms. Apparently Harvard did not have a course on how to fill out disclosure forms honestly. while Kushner was in attendance.

Yes, exactly:

The panel meets in private, like a secret society. No one who serves on it is elected, and probably few Texans even know it exists. But it has an enormous influence on selecting the people President Trump nominates for lifetime appointments to the federal district and appellate courts, as well as U.S. attorneys. It is the Federal Judicial Evaluation Committee.

Sounds like an ACLU immediate FOIA Request and litigation waiting to happen. Government functions arent supposed to be conducted in secret, without recording of minutes and decisions. This sounds like a Government function. I love how the GOP always uses the Transparency standard against its adversaries, but has no intention of ever applying it to themselves.

The group she’s part of feeds its recommendations to Texas senators Cruz and Cornyn, who weed out the few rational suggestions and pass the rest on to Trump for his royal consideration.
