MUELLER OPENS PROBE OF KUSHNER

[pnwmom]

Special counsel for the US Department of Justice Robert Mueller is investigating an attempt by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner to block the passage of UN Security Council Resolution 2334 condemning Israeli settlement activity, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The probe is part of a larger investigation by Mueller into Kushner and his conversations with foreign leaders, including Israelis, during the two-month transition period between the November election and the time Trump took office. Under the Obama administration, the United States abstained and the only one of 14 countries on the UNSC not to approve the December 2016 measure. But the decision not to use its veto power to block the move, something it also did in 2011, was widely seen as a form of tacit approval of the resolution by the Obama administration.

4. I bet Jared is getting real nervous

[not fooled]

5. Maybe now

a muscle will move in his face. If that's possible.

Asshole slumlord incompetent might finally get some karmic payback.

11. Noticed that too

His mouth is the shape of a rectangle when he speaks. Its almost as if half of his face fails to move -- just the rectangle mouth.

I bet he's mighty worried and then some right now!

Go get 'em Mueller!!!

[not fooled]

14. He looks like

he's been getting into iwanna's botox.

[madville]

6. The bad part is we know they all have

a get out of jail free card

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Depends

Trump may not pardon many if any. If he does, it can be grounds for impeachment as obstruction of justice.

Further, if he does, then they can be compelled to testify everywhere because they won't be able to hide behind the Fifth Amendment.

And even more, there are state charges they may face in NY and elsewhere.

Plus, RICO laws can confiscate their ill-gotten gains and much more.

9. Welcome to DU,,,,,Comrade!

16. Thanks!

12. Jared has nothing to worry about.

Trump's children and their spouses are all but guaranteed to receive pardons. No way in hell he lets any of them go to prison.

[aeromanKC]

17. Cannot pardon co-conspirators

Mueller has it.

[Rincewind]

7. Maybe they'll give him

his dad's old prison cell.

[marble falls]

10. Maybe he can get a legacy berth at his father's alma mater, Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery, AL...

maybe his dads old number, 26526-050, too!

13. Kushner's actions are illegal because he did this before Trump was president?

I am trying to understand the crime.

I hope Mueller can nail Kushner.
