Cnn: Mueller looking at Jared's financials

Washington (CNN)Special counsel Robert Mueller's interest in Jared Kushner has expanded beyond his contacts with Russia and now includes his efforts to secure financing for his company from foreign investors during the presidential transition, according to people familiar with the inquiry.

This is the first indication that Mueller is exploring Kushner's discussions with potential non-Russian foreign investors, including china.

to trade upcoming U.S. policy for $$$$$ to bail out his failing real estate investments??

Who could possibly know that was not a good idea? Especially since his FIL would be able to con everyone about what the family was up to.

What a bunch of grifters.

iwanna doesn't strike me as the type to stick it out through adversity. Can you imagine the dynamics between those two, behind closed doors, as the walls cave in? Couldn't happen to a more deserving couple.

out of this country. I'm sure her signature is on a bunch of documents. The kids might have to go into foster care, since the whole family might be in jail.

They were all in on it. But there has to be evidence. It's possible that Trump was protected from direct involvement, so there won't be any proof? I don't know. None of them are really smart, so I continue to hope. For the sake of the country.

but he has exhibited a kind of low cunning, at times.

I just think that since he never expected to win, he thought he could commit a bunch of illegal acts and never receive scrutiny. As he's been doing for decades with his criminal associates and money laundering career.

he may have been protected. Jeff Sessions, very experienced politician, was with him. I remember his testimony about the mtg where Pappadopolous was, when Pappa. suggested Trump meet with Putin, Sessions immediately put that idea down. He knew that if there were to be any meeting, it would have to be with a surrogate, not Trump himself.

His sons had that meeting with the Russians. Not Trump.

Trump doesn't "do" anything. His family & worker bees do everything, at his behest. Trump talks a lot, but that's about it.

I don't know if he does email. Does he? Remember, Trump is paranoid. He thinks his food might be poisoned.

All of this may mean there's no direct evidence of Trump involvement in "the Russier thing." But if Mueller goes after money laundering, there may be something there. And then there's obstruction of justice, which I think there is evidence of, but I'm not a lawyer.

A common technique.
Start with the smaller fish, flip them, and set the hook on the prize fish.

It makes sense, when I think about it. You want the small fish to talk and give leads. I hope that's the case.

No doubt he's looking into the rest of the family and their associates, as well.
