Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump Pushed to Put Flynn in Office, Ignored Warnings

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner ignored red flags and warnings from top officials concerning former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, and pushed to get him into office to reward his loyalty to the president.

The couple has been a major influence on the Trump administration as a whole, encouraging President Donald Trump to hire and fire as they see fit. In light of Flynn’s guilty plea on charges of lying to the FBI on Friday, Ivanka and Kushner’s support is especially concerning, particularly given reports that Kushner was the “very senior member” of the administration who instructed Flynn to make contact with a Russian ambassador during the election.

While coordinating a transition team for the Trump administration last fall, Ivanka praised Flynn’s “amazing loyalty to my father,” after inviting Flynn and General Keith Kellogg to the meeting without notifying Chris Christie, the former chair of the transition team.

“General, what job do you want?” Ivanka asked Flynn, according to a New Yorker report.

A participant at the meeting said, “It was like Princess Ivanka had laid the sword on Flynn’s shoulders and said, ‘Rise and go forth.’”

1. I've been wondering about Ivanka's part in all this

I know Jared is right in the middle of it, but she clearly is, too. She seems to have some kind of personal relationship with Flynn; she certainly likes him. Or, now, liked him; she doesn't strike me as someone who has any kind of personal loyalty.

3. I was just mentioning that to my husband this morning. We don't hear a peep about her

as far as the investigations go, but she must be involved. She's always been right in the middle of things.

2. Loyalty and obedience

That's the only thing Trump cares about
