A Trump Family Thanksgiving: Pass the Affidavits! The Stuffing Is Bugged!
A Trump Family Thanksgiving: Pass the Affidavits! The Stuffing Is Bugged!
CHARLIE PIERCE
Young America’s Fun Couple—and the grand marshals of this year’s Homecoming Parade in Stepford, Connecticut—Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are both in a spot of trouble at the moment. This at least will give them something to talk about when the whole family, and everybody’s lawyers, get together for Thanksgiving dinner next week. The way things are going in and around the First Family, you’re going to need to swear out an affidavit to get somebody to pass the cranberry sauce, which may well be wired by the FBI.
First, it seems that Jared may have had one of his periodic memory lapses when the Senate Judiciary Committee asked him for some emails he’d gotten from WikiLeaks and others that concerned a “backdoor Russian overture” to him and to the Trump campaign. According to Politico, the two ranking members of the SJC pretty clearly have in hand at least copies of the documents that Kushner forgot on top of the washing machine when the committee asked to see them.
