... in all likelihood, Jared Kushner spent the afternoon rocking back and forth in a fetal position under his desk, emitting soft moans that left White House aides frantically searching for what they assumed was a wounded animal loose in the building. After entering the West Wing last year with a slate of modest goals that included solving America’s opioid epidemic, bringing peace to the Middle East, overhauling I.T. infrastructure, and more or less "re-invent<ing> the entire government," and rounding out his first year there with approximately zero of these items accomplished, the First Son-in-Law on Wednesday found his downpour of a week upgraded to a Category 5 shit-storm.

Within a 48-hour period, Kushner had his interim security clearance downgraded; learned that his P.R. guru is quitting; and was the subject of a mortifying article .. alleging that officials in at least four countries have discussed ways to manipulate him "by taking advantage of his complex business arrangements, financial difficulties and lack of foreign policy experience" ... Wednesday, multiple outlets reported that the New York Department of Financial Services has requested information from several banks "about their relationship with Kushner and his finances," among them Signature Bank, New York Community Bank, and Deutsche Bank .. from which he and the First Daughter have unsecured lines of credit between $5 million and $25 million, while Kushner and his mother, Seryl, reportedly have an unsecured line of credit valued at up to $25 million. In December, The New York Times also reported that the Kushner family business .. had received a $285 million loan from Deutsche in 2016, and that Jared had "ordered up a glowing profile of <executive Rosemary> Vrablic in the real-estate magazine he owned" ...

... Kushner could’ve avoided most of this .. discomfort, had he and Ivanka heeded the advice of their friends and not taken jobs in the West Wing ... But the duo reportedly saw the move as a stepping stone .. that could .. result in .. "President Ivanka Trump." And .. "you can't protect people when they're voluntarily sticking their head into the fucking guillotine" ...

4. I would like a $25 million unsecured loan. Can just anyone get one?

[Dave Starsky]

8. Ah! That depends, comrade.

Do you have any secrets you can sell or sanctions you can lift?

5. If Trumpy thinks Kushner is a threat to him, he will cut him loose and sink him. No loyalty there.

6. "Kushner could've avoided most of this"

Every single one of them in there, including Drumpf, could have "avoided most of this", because all of them have been flying under the radar with their illegal dealings that were so complex, that no government entity had the necessary resources to try to unwind them to reach an indictment, and so they moved on to easier pickings... Until now.

The election essentially pointed the spotlight at the entire cabal.

7. "President Ivanka Trump."

That is so funny, I forgot to laugh.

9. I wonder if any of these assholes has buyer's remorse.

I said from the start that they could have continued their sleazy, grifty real estate dealings and no one would have been the wiser. I hope they all rot.
