President Trump's adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, reportedly offered advice to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about how to “weather the storm” after the death of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The New York Times reported Saturday that Kushner and the crown prince, who have long been known to have an informal relationship, continued to chat after Khashoggi’s killing inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, despite formal White House procedures for contacts with foreign leaders.

American officials and a Saudi briefed on the conversations told the newspaper that the two men were on a first-name basis in their texts and calls.

One Saudi said that Kushner offered “advice about how to weather the storm, urging him to resolve his conflicts around the region and avoid further embarrassments,” according to the Times. Kushner’s relationship with the crown prince has raised eyebrows, with some worried that Kushner could be easily manipulated by the Saudis.

I will leave it at that and simply hope that karma comes quickly, broadly and decisively

duties to Jarod? Isn't SHE the top advisor? Wait, maybe she was off getting a massage that day, or getting her roots bleached? Or having more Botox pumped into her face?

6. I believe

Both him and her will be sent to prison for all their corruption that's uncovered , which will be a lot more than we realize now. These two are corrupt criminals.

7. Good lord

I knew Kushner was a smarmy little weasel, but I had no idea how truly despicable he was. It is like he is in a race to the bottom with his father-in-law.

Tom Clancy couldn't come up with characters as warped and evil as the ones in the White House today.

Slimy, sleazy, sniveling little weasel-rat, dog shit-eating lying mother fucker.

17. And even that doesn't begin to describe him!

Our language is adjective deficient when it comes to people like Kushner and Trump. We'll have to turn to the Scots for some help. They are absolute artists when it comes to insulting adjectives.

Jared’s Dad spent time in prison.

16. Jared can make it a family tradition, it looks like. nt

[PatSeg]

19. Yeah

but his father looks like an evil bastard. Jared has that soft spoken boy scout look, which makes his true persona even more terrifying.

Damn, I can't wait for these creeps to get out of our White House.

9. Other embarrassments? OTHER EMBARRASSMENTS? The butchering of a journalist

is considered an embarrassment?

These are truly sick people. The whole lot of them.

Who knows what damage he has done to America?

Quite a talent that Jared....

For a country that hates Jews, SA is certainly welcoming to Jared.

Big money and power overcome religion (religion, not faith) so easily.

15. So, in what capacity did he speak with him? Should his security clearance get pulled?

Take this to court and get him banned from the White House.
If it was about 'business', he shouldn't be in on security matters.
If it was about the murder, he needs to sit before congress tomorrow morning and answer some probing questions.

18. Accessory after the fact? nt

[BigmanPigman]

21. I thought everyone already knew about their closer relationship

and it was an issue of concern about a month ago. Is there any way to find out what they specifically discussed? I know it was on private phones but doesn't the CIA have some device that can figure out the conversations' details?
