CNN Exclusive: Jared Kushner met with special counsel about Flynn

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN)Jared Kushner met earlier this month with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team as part of the investigation into Russia's meddling in the election, according to two people familiar with the meeting.

Mueller's team specifically asked Kushner about former national security advisor Michael Flynn, who is under investigation by the special counsel, two sources said. Flynn was the dominant topic of the conversation, one of the sources said.

"Mr. Kushner has voluntarily cooperated with all relevant inquiries and will continue to do so," Abbe Lowell, Kushner's lawyer, told CNN.

The conversation lasted less than 90 minutes, one person familiar with the meeting said, adding that Mueller's team asked Kushner to clear up some questions he was asked by lawmakers and details that emerged through media reports. One source said the nature of this conversation was principally to make sure Kushner doesn't have information that exonerates Flynn.

perjuring himself silly. 90 minutes is a lot of one word wrong answers. He wouldn't be honest because he didn't know flynn would flip yet.

this is the way the game is played:

gather information on target from multiple sources

get those sources "spread" on the record

call in the target

"spread" his statements on the record

dissect each statement in contrast with the statements of the other, multiple sources

zero in on the differences

charge with perjury or threaten to do so in exchange for "giving up" the next guy up the ladder

threw Flynn under the bus. No one in the Trump family is planning to go to jail by protecting Mike Flynn (and son).
