Discussion: Trump Says He Has 'Total Confidence' In Kushner As His Star Fades At WH

Speaking of Trump double-crossing people in legal trouble who were intimately involved in the Trump transition and who might have preserved documents that the FBI would love to get a look at - has anyone heard anything from Chris Christie lately?

On these latest pieces in the NYT and Politico, I sense the guiding hand of Steve Bannon, who is trying to take advantage of a guy who insists on being an idiot. The NYT piece by Haberman/Thrush felt like Bannon gave them the cliff notes (much like he did when he shopped Clinton Cash to the NYT).

My takeaway from the NYT piece is that it attempts to cast Kushner as a lone wolf actor on the ‘back channel treason’ story and other contacts with Russia. That part is clearly not true. The Kremlin is fully embedded in this administration. Their messages seem so closely coordinated that, as Josh suggests, I would assume that this secret Russian hosted communications channel does exist and Trump uses it to consult every day on stuff ranging from cabinet/personnel appointments to staffing decisions to prep for meetings with world leaders to responding to the FBI investigation. How else could one explain Trump’s approach at NATO: no commitments on Article 5, regurgitate Kremlin nonsense propaganda on funding, no speaking up for Democracy and human rights (anywhere on this trip)?

Just keep pushing these guys on all fronts and buy time for the FBI/Mueller to gather their evidence.

With any other President I’d agree. But is there really anything impossible with this one? Anything too far out there to be plausible? The stuff we already know to be true passed that threshold long ago.

Has anyone ever heard this seemingly corrupt and incompetent little weasel utter a word? Maybe it’s time for him to step up and defend himself if he thinks he’s being treated unfairly. Instead, we get photographs of him looking like a pitiful little deer in the headlights, again and again and again. What a disgrace to our country these people are.

That’s the family dining room and kitchen. Perhaps they put something metal in the microwave to exorcise Obama’s spying.

First guess is that the Orb demands blood.

Second guess would be a fire alarm in the kitchen? Trump tried cooking for himself?
