Lawyer: Kushner is 'the hero' in campaign emails regarding Russia

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Jared Kushner’s lawyer said Sunday the Senate Judiciary Committee has “jumped the gun” in accusing Trump's son-in-law, who is also a White House senior adviser, of not disclosing documents discussing WikiLeaks and Russian overtures during the 2016 campaign. 

Abbe Lowell, who is representing Kushner, told CNN that Kushner in his email exchange rejected the idea of a meeting described as a “Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite" by the committee.

“If you look at the content of these emails, he’s the hero. He’s the one who’s saying there shouldn’t be any contact with foreign officials or foreign entities,” Lowell told CNN. “That’s what the Senate Judiciary Committee should pay attention to and not create some sort of partisan gotcha game.”

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and ranking member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Thursday sent a letter to Lowell demanding additional documents from Kushner as part of the committee’s ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

In the letter, the two senators said Kushner received and forwarded emails about WikiLeaks, as well as a communication about a “Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite.”

The letter, addressed to Lowell, gave him until Nov. 27 to comply with the request for additional documents.

1. Sure

But he hid these emails when the administration was trying to say there was no contact at all. They keep moving the goalposts, but Mueller isn't playing that game.

Seth Abramson speculates that Kushner used some of these emails to try to make himself look better while knowing the activity was happening.

2. Kushner lied to the Feds. Did you see the Papadopoulos indictment for lying to the feds?

Kusher is going to do time. Mueller is not going to let the lying go unpunished.



And that's just what we know now. It seems likely Kushner did a lot worse than just lying to the feds and Congress.

3. What a liar. "partisan gotcha game." WTF? Does he think Americans are stupid?

We are not. We know republicans control the House and the Senate and the White House and the Supreme Court. And we know from watching closely that they don't give a shit about the gross treason and betrayal of America by the ignoble and duplitious republican bigwig Comrade Casino* and his cabal of KGOP cronies.

If he was sincerely looking for a dirty, lowdown "partisan gotcha game" all he needs do is reference BullShitGhazi, and "her emails."

Don't insult Americans by lying to us about JarJar Kusher (R-TreasonWeasel).

4. You just nailed the truth.

For decades,the GOP and it's leadership has always used this premise. The Trump Crime Family is just using the same tools. Our weak ass Press takes their prepared press releases and heads to the Bar for a round of back slapping Story telling.
