OMG! On Lawrence O'Donnell right now. Looks like Jared Kushner

is throwing his father-in-law under the bus. I had no idea that Jared Kushner's father had done time in prison. It seems like Kushner's lawyers are the ones doing the leaking and his timeline is not lining up with Trump's timeline when it came to knowing about the meeting with the Russian lawyer.
This shit is deeper than the shit.
Is there an a divorce in the future?

Convicted of tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions and witness tapering. 18 counts and served 14 months. He pled guilty to retaliating against a cooperating witness in the case — his sister. He did so by setting a trap in which he hired a prostitute to lure his sister's husband into a sexual encounter in a New Jersey hotel, where the action was secretly photographed and videotaped.

republican "family values" are oozing out all over the place. The KGOP really needs to turn its collective back on degenerate republican values, and instead take up American values like honesty, responsibility, integrity, and loyalty to America.

It was a big conviction on a federal prosecution. It gave a boost to Christie's candidacy for NJ governor.

Little did Christie expect this conviction and imprisonment to return and bite him in the ass.

And, at least one brother jailbird, if not both of them. I wouldn't be surprised to eventually see her in an orange jumpsuit, as well. Tiffany should be thrilled that she's the black sheep in this wretched family.

That couldn't be any dirtier than this business and he's still out of prison. But maybe Mueller will only give him a nice prison to hang out in.

when he said he just found out about this. i doubt if even fully involved cult members believe that shit. i guess it's dog eat dog at the WH now, each man for himself. which is probably a huge shock and disappointment to the president, who can likely not believe that everyone around him is not FOR him the way he is for himself.

well tough shit for him. this is serious business and i for one hope they all end up in prison.

So if THEY knew, there is no way Trump didn't know. So the Trump camp is gonna have to inch back their timeline by, oh, several weeks.

... did Kushner's father do time in federal prison, but it is the family's hope that Jared can sport his old man's same uniform when he arrives. This would be quite the family coup!
