CNN-Jared Kushner has approached Trump about conceding 2020 election

Jared is the sacrificial lamb.




Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, has approached the President about conceding the election, two sources told CNN.

The move follows Trump's assertion in a statement from his campaign -- moments after CNN and other networks projected that Joe Biden will become the 46th President of the United States -- that Biden is "rushing to falsely pose as the winner" and that the race is "far from over."

"I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands," Trump said in the statement, which explains that the campaign's legal battle will begin Monday.

Biden-Harris deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said Saturday night that there had been no communication between Biden and Trump, or between any representatives from either campaign, since the race was called earlier in the day.

trump's best bet is to cut plea deal with NY state AG and NYC DA Cyrus Vance to avoid NY state tax fraud charges

The Pig won't mean it anyway. Just like when he "gave up" on the birther crap. Didn't mean a word he said.

If Joe goes lightly on this criminal, people will learn no lesson. Expose EVERYTHING first. Then deals might be cut when the true extent of criminality and treason is shown to all Americans and the world.

...might be.

Any plea deal has to include trump admitting to crimes he where the charges were dropped as part of the deal.

If he tries to say it is easier to plea them down than to fight them, throw the book at him.

He's botched things at every opportunity.
What's he got to offer in return... turn on Putin?
So much for the Art of the fucking Deal.

A source close to Jared Kushner said he has advised President Trump to pursue "legal remedies" to the election. A second source close to Kushner confirmed he had not advised Trump to concede.
