Jared Kushner on the hot seat

by Jack Brummet

A new report by Vanity Fair:

"In a call Tuesday to former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon, Trump put blame on Kushner for the part he took in choices to fire former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former FBI director James Comey, Vanity Fair reported.Roger Stone, a longtime Trump ally, also recently said Kushner wasn't giving Trump good advice — a sentiment which Trump reportedly agreed with, according to someone familiar with the conversation.

"Sam Nunberg, a former campaign aide to President Trump who was fired, echoed the statement. “Jared is the worst political adviser in the White House in modern history,” Nunberg said.

 "I’m only saying publicly what everyone says behind the scenes at Fox News, in conservative media, and the Senate and Congress."

On top of all this, he is being investigated for setting up a private email server by multiple congressional committees, as well as sketchy contacts (and maybe more) with The Russians. In addition, Kushner is being actively investigated by the Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

President Trump: "It hurts"

Special Counsel Bob Mueller

by Jack Brummet, POTUS Ed.

The greatest accomplishment of The rump Administration in its first 118 days is the appointment of the Special Counsel ( I miss the term Special Prosecutor, which lapsed with the old law) that could—possibly—ultimately trigger their downfall.

And, slap my ass and call me Sally, they named a guy who pretty much walks on water with support everywhere it counts (FBI, Justice, HS, NSA, Congress, and the various spook agencies).

Whichever way it goes, I trust him to get to the truth eventually. Is this wishful thinking? Is it inevitable The President runs a Saturday Night Massacre maneuver once things look grim? 

Special Counsel Bob Mueller hates leaks, is relentless, and is both a skilled investigator and prosecutor. I am interested how this works with the dual congressional committees (and a couple of subcommittees) already slowly working their way through the Russian mess. And the other investigations, like the FBI? I suspect he will use the FBI rather than bring in outsiders. . .if he feels they have not been compromised. As I remember, the special prosecutor takes precedence on many issues. I think, because it is Mueller, conflicts can be sorted out. Onward! Excelsior!
