Discussion: WaPo: Special Counsel Looking At Jared Kushner's Business Activities

I think when its all said and done PP, Jared, Ivanka, Frick and Frack, Manafort, Flynn, and Page will wind up either in prison, witness protection, and/or reclusive pariahs.

They’ll more likely be busy writing ‘tell-all books’ to get one last cash-in. The grift must flow.

The upside to them being corrupt and sneaky is that they’re not very good at hiding it.

Last night I watched the president speak before the congressional ball game and extoll the national pastime I could only think of his dad and him telling New York players Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays and Elston Howard and their families. All of whom, unlike the Trump’s served honorably in the military, that there are no apartments for rent in Trump owned complexes.

That is a major blessing, what if someone half competent did a ‘Trump’ ? The USA would be in real deep shit…

What they’ll find is he isn’t a particularly good businessman. Sad!

"…where Kushner reportedly floated a secret line of communication between the Trump transition team and the Russian government…"

….one of the requirements being that no words would ever be spoken aloud.

Jared was born into another grifting family.

We know Comey is a master chess player & uses precise language. I wouldn’t be surprised if what he actually said to Trump was in correct legal language that Trump mistook for exoneration, not understanding it was temporary at best.

Leaving him just enough rope…

Carter Page already on it

Page added that he was writing a book on his experience and that he was “still in discussions” with publishers.

It is all about the emoluments, not collusion. Please let the special counsel dig and dig into Trump family finances going back at least 10 years - nothing will drive Trump over the edge faster or reveal the real corruption underneath this stinking pile of an administration.

Don’t think for a moment that Putin is unable to silence uncooperative partners. If Trump is still blabbing it is because Putin finds him still useful.

Trump was already a friend in greed of the Russian kleptocracy having been used to launder billions of ill-gotten money in safe US real estate LLCs. Putin had an objective in being introduced to members of Trump’s widening coterie to compromise them for longer term purposes. While Trump is a gifted con man (I mean this as a compliment), he is surrounded by amateurs, like his son-in-law, not well-schooled in the art of the (shady) deal. They will cause his downfall.

The marriage between the Kushners and the Trumps is what passes for aristocratic inbreeding in America. The Republican shot callers will not let go of Trump until they have done all they can to perpetuate the ruling class by elimination of the inheritance tax, granting of a massive tax break to the wealthy and repeal of all of the anti corruption laws in Dodd-Frank. Once that is done, even if he is impeached, he will be considered the most successful Republican president since Ronald Reagan though it might not be spoken aloud in front of commoners.

Yes. That Trump lived large and stayed out of jail for fifty years says a lot about the level of corruption and lawlessness in the NYC real estate industry .

Most likely scenario: found guilty of various forms of corruption and treason, but pardoned by President Pence. Then they all write books and go on RWNJ talk shows for the next 20 years.

Maybe he’ll run into a few of his former tenants, who tolerated living in his slummy apartments and were wrongly dinged for overdue rent.

I wonder in which country-club prison his dad served his time?
