Mr. Trumps private legal team, led by his New York lawyer, Marc E. Kasowitz, was preparing to meet in Washington to face new questions about contacts between Mr. Kushner and representatives of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. Mr. Trump may meet with Mr. Kasowitz as early as Sunday, and aides have recruited a series of prominent Washington lawyers with experience in political investigations for Mr. Trump to interview in hopes that they might join the legal team.
Mr. Kushner, who organized the presidents Middle East stops at the start of the foreign trip, chose to return to Washington with several days to go and has been unusually subdued since then. But he has no plans to step down from his role as senior adviser or to reduce his duties, according to people close to him.
Still, there are signs that he is tiring of the nonstop combat and the damage to his reputation. He has told friends that he and his wife, Ivanka Trump, have made no long-term commitment to remain by Mr. Trumps side, saying they would review every six months whether to return to private life in New York.
Mr. Kushners troubles are only one facet of the crisis. Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff, and Stephen K. Bannon, the presidents chief strategist, also dropped off Mr. Trumps trip early, in part to return to deal with the political furor over the Russia investigations and the presidents decision to fire James B. Comey as F.B.I. director.

(678 posts)Without Jared & Ivanka by his side he has no one to trust.
They go, he goes also.
Then intel can begin their outing of Pence for his Russian ties.
And on down the line.
One question:
If Jared, Ivanka, or Trump should return to NY, AG Schneiderman can indict on RICO charges (& others) for trump dealings in the State of NY, & whomever is President cannot use the power of pardon.
Presidential pardons are only availible for Fed charges but cannot be used in State charges. Which is where their businesses & property are.
I have read this but correct me if its wrong.
Thanks

(1,129 posts)State charges / convictions can only be pardoned by the state's governor....
That is why all of the bad eggs will ultimately end up in NY AG's RICO baskets.....

(678 posts)Hope Trump has his big fat gold guilded properties seized too.
However if the properties have been moved to his son's, I don't know if it can be seized.
Too much info coming so fast.

(14,530 posts)The time to go back to private life was before you got involved with the campaign. Now your stench has rubbed onto your wife and kids. Best to turn states evidence, plead guilty and hope for mercy. This shit just got real for you. HAHAHAHA

Are they floating this so when he resigns next month (or next week?) they can say that was his plan all along?
