Kushners legal team looks to hire crisis public relations firm

Source: Washington Post

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.

I wonder if this is the first main stream hint of today's news.

Twitter could be wrong....

So they're going to grill McCabe and make a ton of noise about the FBI investigation,
which will give Trump cover to make heads roll until he finds someone to fire Mueller???

I mean it sounds like a done deal, they are telegraphing intentions as far as McCabe is concerned.

fire, purge, pillage. They will need a legal pr firm to spin the media.

The house will announce it is shutting down its investigations into trump campaign and give trump his letter of exoneration.

All with a nice red bow and gold wrapping paper.

And from the stronger attacks against the FBI's reputation and Mueller in the past few days I think it's likely to be true.

The only reason Jared Kushner would hire a crisis public relations firm is because ... wait for it ... A CRISIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO HIM. Also, anyone who needs a crisis firm should not have a security clearance. Oh, and Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, you backed the wrong person.

It doesn't end until Wednesday so maybe we'll have to wait until the end of next week.

along with a list of the "fixes" she's accomplished.

I have not doubt that he (or one of his brothers-in-law) would be goofy enough to try and find her.

This looks to me like a clear indication that Kushner is in so much trouble he expects indictment but is hoping that public relations can put him in a better light just long enough to swing some financial deals his way before Mueller's hammer comes down on him.

Unless they are dyed in the wool rwers, any firm should steer clear. It’s reslly s no win situation and their own reputations would be tarnished.
