President Trump is reportedly blaming White House adviser Jared Kushner for his role in decisions that led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller, according to a new report by Vanity Fair.

In a call Tuesday to former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon, Trump put blame on Kushner for the part he took in choices to fire former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former FBI director James Comey, Vanity Fair reported.

1. Katie Tur just reported that on her show.

It made me wonder whose "side" Ivanka would be on if the two fueded.

[marylandblue]

10. Daddy's of course!

[atreides1]

32. The father of her children!!!

No doubt!

[Yavin4]

53. Awwww come on!

Now, I'm going to have nightmares.

[Hortensis]

73. Did Tur insinuate Hillary was really the one colluding with Russia,

by any chance? If not, it might suggest MSNBC's "Murdoch-lite" faction thinks they can't get away with it, which would be an indicator of something.

I'd guess Ivanka is playing peacemaker like mad, wouldn't you? All other considerations aside, family ties, inheritances, Rump can choose who to throw to the wolves and who to try to pardon. Strength in unity?

2. Is Kushner coming back from surprise visit overseas....did he go to Israel?

Is extradition allowed from Israel to U.S.?

[nycbos]

7. Yup absolutely.

This is the Israeli foreign ministry explanation of the extradition process.


He went to Saudi Arabia.

[karynnj]

68. Yes, but I wonder what happens if he declares he is making aliyah

and immediately becomes an Israeli?

By the way, he went to Saudi Arabia.

[WhiteTara]

79. No, SA doesn't have extradition treaties with the US.

[matt819]

3. Or. . .

the man the buffoon-in-chief is calling, who?

Son-in-law? Name of Jared? Really? Sounds Jewish. Never heard of him. Wouldn't know him if he was standing next to my daughter in the chuppah (that's ch as in cheese, not ch as in clearing your throat - the buffoon not being particularly attuned to Jew things).

An adviser, you say? Real estate investor? Doesn't ring any bells.

[Angry Dragon]

5. Never wanted him to marry my daughter

[FSogol]

6. His daughter's coffee boy?

[Angry Dragon]

11. She does have her big boy pants on

37. Too funny, good one!

[SergeStorms]

67. Covfefe boy!

Gotta' get these highly technical presidentin' terms right, you know?

[DesertRat]

[sheshe2]

13. He is eating his own now.

Anything to take the blame off himself, Jared is getting tossed under the Trump Mobile. Next???

[Control-Z]

23. Next will be Maggot Jr.

is my best guess. His daughter wife will be the last to go. Unless...hmm...there is that Hope Hicks woman. It depends on, well, how do I say this? What exactly is his relationship with her?

[sheshe2]

25. The wheels on the bus go round and round...

And, Lol, I will not touch on his relationship with Hopie...

[SergeStorms]

70. She does those things for Mr. Preznit....

that Malaria refuses to do anymore.

You know, give Covfefe, and that sort of stuff.

[workinclasszero]

40. Trump's got to get a bigger bus

[sheshe2]

42. Yes siree...

The bodies are going start accumulating rapidly.

We may need a fleet of those Big Buses~

[workinclasszero]

45. Weee!

[sheshe2]

48. Yep!

I think I need one of these.

[workinclasszero]

49. LOL

That will do the trick

[Achilleaze]

14. I Vanka doing the RR* Karaoke thing

* russian-republican

[Frustratedlady]

16. Somewhere on DU yesterday, I read that Jared returrned on Saturday.

I think he went to Saudi, as I thought that maybe some prince would give him a piece of jewelry for Ivanka's birthday.

If he didn't leave on another trip, he should be home.

This could get interesting. Not only has he screwed up his own life, but those of his family. Shame on him for involving them.

[BigmanPigman]

22. He returned home two days ago for Ivanka's birthday.

I read that her popularity in rising with Dems but falling with Repubs. I do not know of any Dems who think better of her but two papers reported it.

[SergeStorms]

72. Not any Dems that I'm aware of.

White House Barbie can't even figure out what a birthday is.

[workinclasszero]

41. That slumlord karma is finally catching up to the creep

[global1]

24. Kind Of Dumb On Trump's Part- To Blame Kushner....

If I were Kushner now - I get the message that Trump is telegraphing here. That being that he'll throw Kushner under the bus. If Kushner knows that Trump will throw him under the bus - his best move is to save himself now and spill at the mouth. Kushner needs to tell all on Trump to save himself as I can't see Kushner taking the hit for Trump.

This is really getting interesting. Hmmmm.....

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. Proves what we knew, trump plans NOTHING, has ZERO ability to plot or

divert attention, every single word and action of his is impulse, nothing else.

He has the intellect and mind of a child.

[workinclasszero]

61. I'm sure Mr Mueller would lend a sympathetic ear

should Jared wise up and drop a dime on Twitler.

[Xolodno]

26. He fires Kushner...

...all hell will break loose. He has the goods and will talk to Mueller if it looks like dear old dad-in-law won't pardon him.

Bannon doesn't care, he lost "his" presidency as far as he is concerned and seeing Dump taken down by his own Son in law just furthers his "view" of him.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. Told ya, Jr and the daughter are next.

[doc03]

28. Nothing is his fault, what a wuss.

[Sneederbunk]

30. Really? You are the one who fired Comey and told Lester Holt why.

[JHan]

31. lol

[nocalflea]

33. Poor victimized Donnie. You reap what you sow.

That he involved his own children in countless crimes doesn't even enter into his calculations.

I hope Javanka flips on his ass.
I assume , unlike daddy, they do care about their kids.

[Bayard]

35. Woot!

[blaze]

43. Well now. That didn't take long, did it? nt

[VOX]

44. Its so hard to be perfect, but #45 is the most perfect person the world has ever seen.

Poor guy, born white and rich, has had his share of struggles in this life. Bone spurs, Twitter feuds, attorneys to push around, and a country to fuck up.


#45: PLEASE GO AWAY, as quickly and quietly as possible...maybe even form a 3rd party to split the GOP vote.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

47. STD's were his Viet Nam,

don't forget.

[VOX]

86. No doubt taking fire in the hellscape that was Manhattan in the 1960s.

Parties here, parties there. Jesus, it should be so bad!

[lunasun]

55. Hey that would be a nice exit move for Trump. Form a 3rd party & split the GOP vote

[VOX]

87. YES! And even more ironic after theyve tried to internally divide liberals/Democrats.

The justice would be sweet!

[Jeroen]

50. Jared better start wearing that flak jack againg

And the helmet

[workinclasszero]

63. LOL

[wryter2000]

51. Holy crap, it's real

I don't think Trump really wants to piss off Jared. He knows where all the skeletons are hidden.

Glad I bought popcorn.

[BobTheSubgenius]

52. 45 had best be careful just how thoroughly...

...and how egregiously he alienates Jar-Jar. Kushner is close to being downgraded from Harry Potter, Boy Wizard to the level of George Papadopoulos, Unknown Muggle.

That wouldn't lean him any closer to *not flipping* if the investigative atmosphere goes push-come-to-shove.

[Raven123]

56. Another message from President "Only I can fix it"

[spanone]

58. says the man who takes blame for zero, zip, zilch, nada

[PatSeg]

62. "The buck stops over THERE!"

He never takes responsibility for anything. There is no one he wouldn't throw under the bus to save his ass.

[Stuart G]

65. Blame, Blame, Blame...The Game is Always the Same..!!!!

"Someone else is......responsible"........".Not Me.."

[SergeStorms]

66. No lap dances....

from Ivanka for the foreseeable future because of this.

[MontanaMama]

69. Hey Dotard!

Whatever happened to "I alone can fix it" ?

[Fritz Walter]

71. Schadenfreude...

...ist die schönste Freude, denn sie kommt von Herzen.”

Translation: Schadenfreude is the most sublime/beautiful joy, because it comes from the heart.

[keithbvadu2]

75. Trump has very little loyalty to anyone.

Trump has hardly any loyalty to anyone except maybe Bannon and his main squeeze Ivanka.

[Gothmog]

76. firing comey was a dumb move

[ecstatic]

82. I've always allowed for the possibility that Kushner is the true Mastermind behind all of this

Or should I say dumb mind behind all of this? His properties were in a lot of trouble and he might have used his father-in-law to further his business. Wasn't Kushner the one aggressively trying to get back channels to Putin?

[L. Coyote]

83. Trump finding a new distraction of the day so they can still steal that 1.5 TRILLION a year

and they loan it back to the government with interest.

Maybe we shouldn't be following Peyton Place, and pay attention to the government and what is happening in Congress and the Executive branch to undo Obama's legacy and steal everything.

[DesertRat]

84. He went to Jared
