He lied about it on his security clearance application.

More likely, perhaps, is that he scrambled to amend his application record to include this meeting--as did Manafort, apparently--and thus the info got leaked to the media.

that Kushner has a tech firm that is being looked at for the bot barrage against Hillary? I can't keep up with this craziness.

He's the connection between Pascale's Project Alamo that was based in San Antonio and the campaign. PA was the digital arm that targeted FB accounts and other social media. Post election it was said Project Alamo had gathered a database of 4000 pieces of online/offline information on about 200,000+ Americans. Yes, 4K pieces of data on EACH of those 200k Americans.

Trump sent a team of a dozen Cambridge Analytica data people down there to work with Project Alamo.

So, yes, Kushner (and Pascale?) will be in the hot seat when investigators start looking at the data angle. Question is, was data coming from Russia servers thru Trump Tower to Project Alamo/Cambridge Analytica.

At least the Trump family members. He's not going to let any of the people he considered loyal to him go down, no matter how illegal the actions they took on his behalf.

The only question is, will it be one that he can see the day before, or one that is totally unexpected?

If he ever sees 67 Senators willing to convict him, he will resign, and pardon everybody involved who he considers loyal to him. And there's not a damn thing that anyone can do about it. The Constitution gave few absolute powers to any branch of government, but the power of the pardon was one of the notable exceptions, vested in only one person.
