Kushner Showed Up, Was ‘Not Combative’ In Testimony To Jan. 6 Panel

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), a member of the Jan. 6 Select Committee, said Jared Kushner’s testimony before the panel last week was “precise” and anything but “volatile,” the bare minimum for the often-combative members of Trump’s inner circle.

HIs convicted felon father obviously gave him some tips. Shame, I was hoping the arrogant plastic toy would have behaved as if he was the smartest guy in the room and ran his mouth off.

I hope he snitched his FIL out with his wife’s approval.

He’s not programmed to be confrontational. Remember Scaramucci? The “front-stabber”? Jared’s the kind of “back stabber” he was talking about.

Jared isn’t and hadn’t been a combative member of the Trump’s maladministration. I don’t remember him running to Fox or any other Trump friendly outlet and go ballistic.
With that said why was Jared in Saudi Araba? Didn’t we pay for his trip? Where’s his work product?

Except for the plaid, that’s Jared to a T.

“Not combative” sounds like pretty low bar but it’s frankly better than some of the first-and-last dates I’ve been on over the years.

On the whole, I don’t think canaries are thought of as combative. Stool pigeons are a bit more feisty.

Jared seems so lifelike.

I can’t make head, tail, ass, or elbow of this sentence.

Yes, but they gave him this weird voice, there are child actors that have more adult voices than our Jared.

Speculating on Motives & Actions Here:
JK is supremely entitled for sure and likely a white-collar-criminal type given his prior real-estate wheelings/dealings. As such, he looks for opportunities to exploit for filthy lucre. Being Pres. Trump’s Trusted Best Boy was a good fit, however temporary. It allowed him access to Fed-Money ripoffs, ME payola money (in the guise of diplomacy), and loads of connex for future biz deals. So he didn’t bite the Royal Hand and stayed pretty mum during the 4 awful years. It appears that he didn’t want to get fully absorbed into the public family-crazy (see DJT jr). JK doesn’t really need the Old Man any more; that purpose has been served. Acting innocent, detached and aloof of The Insurrection works for him here, especially if it gets the Old Man out of his life forever.

It’s supposed to deepen once his testes drop and he passes puberty.

So, if Trump festers with paranoia that Kushner is cooperating, and Trump goes after Kushner, not necessarily having him waxed but something nasty enough to turn L.O. against dear old dad, well then, I’m going to send Zoe Lofgren a nice fruit basket.

Having seen that one interview of him, I can’t imagine a more lifeless human being. The boy knows nothing about life, desperation, hunger, denial of life’s basics, missing a meal, getting fired, living on a friends couch, driving a pos car that might start in the morning or else you’re walking to work life.

The trump admin has really made me really not like the rich and their grotesque wealth.

Eh. To my eye he’s deep in the “uncanny valley.”

So, instead of pleading the 5th he just politely failed to remember anything.
