Robert Mueller is reportedly zeroing in on Jared Kushner over his role in firing James ComeyAllan Smith 14h
The White House senior adviser Jared Kushner has turned over documents to the special counsel Robert Mueller as investigators have expressed interest his role in the firing of James Comey as FBI director, CNN reported Thursday.
CNN reported that Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, turned over the documents to Mueller "in recent weeks." Trump fired Comey in May.
Mueller's investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 US election and whether Trump's campaign colluded with Moscow to influence the outcome led to the indictments on Monday of Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and Manafort's past business associate Rick Gates. Court documents released by Mueller on Monday also showed that George Papadopoulos, a foreign-policy adviser to the campaign, had pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI.

He's making America worse on a daily basis and doing it for profit and racism. Of course, I don't want him indicted until drumpf and Pence are too. Don't want orange assface installing a new racist, hating, russia puppet.

It was still Trump's decision to fire Comey, even if he did it on bad advice. I suspect the headline about focussing on his role in the firing is misleading.

Is bad advice criminal at that point? I don't know, I'm no lawyer.
