Michael Cohen thinks Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are Jack Smith's 'inside moles'

https://www.rawstory.com/jared-kushner-jan-6-2662279823/

This actually makes some sense (my words).

'Jared Kushner testified before a grand jury investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, but former Donald Trump attorney Michael Cohen believes the ex-president's son-in-law has been talking all along to investigators...Why would Jack Smith bring Jared Kushner to the table unless you already knew what Jared is going to say," Cohen said. "There is no way that Jack Smith brought Jared in there to impeach, you know, the information, or the testimony that he has. That is just not how the grand jury system works."

Kushner can't be happy that he's been pulled back into his father-in-law's business, Cohen said, but he believes both he and Ivanka Trump have been spilling secrets about the former president since leaving the White House..."Look, the entire familial relationship has gone south," Cohen said. "We see Jared and Ivanka stepping away, and I said it on a CNN program about a year ago that I do believe that Jared and Ivanka were the inside moles, not that I have any information to prove it. Jared does not want to see the inside of a prison cell. He knows what it's like through his father's eyes, he knows how difficult it was for him and his siblings. He doesn't want to do the same thing to his children."

Cohen believes that Kushner has been working with investigators to keep the heat off himself.'

I'm not sure about Ivanka. But I have said for some time that Jared was the source for where the FBI would find the documents. It would make sense that he is talking about January 6, too.

I want to know how much you have to steal in order to be arrested, convicted, and jailed - and STILL keep your NYC condo, daughter's tuition and lifestyle.

Because, I swear, after I steal and cheat to get all that, I'm going to repent and be a really great guy.

Michael Cohen and those like him have convinced me that being an honest person is a fucking stupid life plan. You just have to know when to make the jump.

I have no doubt that Kushner would rat out TFG.

I wasn’t so sure about Kremlin Barbie at first, but I was probably being naive. She grew up in the Trump household. Of course she would rat out any of her family members to save her liposuctioned ass.

In fact it was probably Jared and Ivanka who prevented Cohen from getting a job at the White House. So, grain of salt. But yes I believe the current coldness between Chump and his daughter stems from the likelihood that they're both coming clean on a lot of stuff. They're done with politics and they're taking a 2-year break from the Chump family.

If they were small time drug dealers their wealth would already be in the hands of the local LEO's. Confiscated as evidence and never to be returned (sometimes, even if acquitted). The deal they get for testimony should be at least that harsh in lieu of years in prison. What was the deal with the Saudi prince except treason for profit?.......and that's just the tip of the griftberg.

Trump is vindictive.
Jared would have to tell them EVERYTHING
There might be so much to tell, he could forget some stuff ....

Of course, Ivanka could use the extended statute of limitations for sexual assault in NY to threaten to make a claim against her father to help protect her husband. Given his history, a lot of folks would believe Ivanka even if it wasn't true. That would end his political career. And make it tougher for him to avoid jail.

Mark Meadows, Allan Weisselberg facing insurance fraud, Eric Trump, Don Jr, Proud Boys/Oath Keepers facing an appeal of their multi year convictions for sedition, Trump WH staff, Mar-A-Lago staff, Trump org staff, US Secret Service, Rudy Giuliani, other Trump lawyers, etc

There are so many people who could flip to save themselves ... some probably already have ..

Suspect he and his wife have committed some serious crimes and would find it difficult to believe there is significant cooperation. He already contradicted himself. And the question of the 2 Billion is an elephant in the room.

I think Jack has too much integrity to sell out for the little Jared could offer. My guess is he is getting his ducks in a row on witnesses and doing strategic questioning.

he was done with Trump.

Ivanka had a choice: her father or her husband. She couldn't have both. And Jared has enough money to make a successful custody fight if she chose the former. Plus, he also has enough money to get a Get should there be a divorce.

I know Ivanka wants to stay out of jail. Plus, now that she and Jared have had such a lush paycheck, she no longer needs the pennies her dad would leave when he kicks off. There might even be a spirit of payback going on for childhood treatment.

I can certainly see it.

Jared is most likely still invested in being a Middle east deal maker. That will most likely not change unless he's plugged or poisoned.
