Jamie Gorelick, Jared Kushner and Hillary

Gorelick was an attorney with the Clinton White House and is now Jared Kushner's lawyer.

"said she is confident that the anti-nepotism statute does not cover Trump's appointment of Kushner, though she acknowledged that some lawyers take the opposite view."

"The nepotism issue was examined but not fully resolved in a court case in the early 1990s involving Hillary Clinton’s leadership of a health-care panel.

Walter Dellinger, who served as acting solicitor general under President Bill Clinton, said he thinks the law is on Trump's side, particularly given the 1978 law loosening restrictions on White House appointments."

Well, I remember that Hillary involvement with getting a comprehensive health care system ended up with the Democrats losing the House in 1994. Perhaps Kushner will do the same..

Something about the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac meltdown where Gorelik supposedly scored 26 million just before the collapse.
(I don't want to link to Breitbart).


The acknowledgement that some lawyers may take the opposite view seems to me to be saying, "I know this is a big stretch but I am getting paid to pull rabbits out of caps."

Hillary Clinton was chairperson of a citizen taskforce so the situations are not the same.
