FBI surveillance of Jared


Considering all of the security red flags Jared has presented since joining this administration do you think the FBI has been monitoring him?

I certainly hope so and I hope they know what has been occurring between Jared and MBS.

There's sort of a wall around presidential associates, especially if they have a role in the administration. I don't think the FBI maintains surveillance on those people. It probably should, but I don't think that's happening.

by Kushner. However, most do not have the ability to physically watch him. They are, however, doing their best to monitor his communications. How successful that is, I have no idea.

That includes the upper management as well as rank and file at the FBI. It is my understanding lie detectors are used on a regular basis in the intelligence community.

Jared get a pass for what should be obvious reasons.

it is highly likely that the FBI and CIA are monitoring his foreign ties and thus picking him up as a bonus add on.

I would imagine that other foreign agencies have their eyes on him as well as probably just about everybody else in the Trump administration.

It is highly disturbing that Kushner may have played a role in the death of that journalist at the Saudi embassy in Turkey. You know Trump has to be thinking how can I pull off something line that to eliminate my enemies. I wouldn't put it past Putin, Saudi Arabia or any other countries who are kissing up and/or using Trump to off someone for Trump as a favor. A minor price for everything Trump is handing over to them.
