Booker and Schiff both call to "get to the bottom" of Kushner's attempts to secretly

[bettyellen]

Communicate with the Russians. Booker calls for a thorough investigation. I agree with Schiff and Booker.



"Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, described the latest allegations involving Kushner as “serious” and called for a thorough investigation.

“He needs to answer for what was happening at the time,” Booker said. “What’s worrying me are the patterns we’re seeing. So one is this administration not talking about our values, cozying up to authoritarian leaders. And the other pattern we have is just a continuous drumbeat of inappropriate contacts with the Russians.”"

3. Some people have their knives out for any prominent Dem...

And some just need the word "contribution" to set them off in a flurry of unfounded allegations.

8. Did you do that???

Love it when people SERIOUSLY say that someone did a "complete 360"! Sadly they don't realize what they're really saying. Thanks for hinting at the lunacy of that term.

9. Yeah. Isn't it supposed to be a complete 180?

Has that claim been retracted?

[ehrnst]

5. No. And probably won't be. (nt)

[bettyellen]

6. Now the claims have been expanded to most every "establishment" Dem- the wreck it crew has arrived.

10. Some things never change

7. From the AOL article that some are posting around here as a "source" of Booker's "support"...

...of Kushner, Booker said, "I think we need to first get to the bottom of it, he needs to answer for what was happening at the time."

He then added, "It raises very serious concerns for me. And that could be a potential outcome that I seek, but I want to understand, at least hear from Jared Kushner, as well as the administration, about what was exactly going on there."

Regarding the revocation of Kushner's security clearance, he said (can't bold anymore on this site) "that could be a potential outcome THAT I SEEK"!
