FWIW, Jared wants to hire a PR firm to handle questions about his involvement with Russia.

Kushner’s legal team looks to hire crisis public relations firm amid Russia probe

By Josh Dawsey

December 15 at 3:49 PM 

Senior White House official Jared Kushner and his legal team are searching for a crisis public relations firm, according to four people familiar with the matter.

Kushner’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, has quietly called at least two firms, these people said. The inquiries have occurred in the past two weeks, and officials at the firms were asked not to discuss the conversations with others.

In a statement, Lowell confirmed he was looking for a firm that would handle media for all high-profile clients that receive attention from the press. His other clients include Sen. Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat whose months-long corruption trial ended last month when jurors deadlocked. The Justice Department has not announced whether it plans to retry him.

“My law firm and I are considering hiring an outside consultant to handle the time-consuming incoming inquiries on the cases in which I am working that receive media attention,” Lowell said in a statement to The Washington Post. “This inquiry from you about whether I am doing this is a good example of why we need one.”

Does this mean anything considering all the swirling rumors right now?

This is America, cons can do what they want, no matter what.

or can they? I am just expressing anger because if they get away with this, there better be more anger than anything else

big shot NYC real estate developers: they think they can just talk / bluff / finesse their way out of trouble; that anything they "may" have f@cked up they can fix later, as easily as Jared's continuing "amendments" to his disclosure forms...I think they are wrong.
