Jared Kushner flew to Aspen same day as "one of Putins closest confidants" whose wife is pals with

Source: Raw Story

Flight logs show that President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, travelled to Aspen, Colorado on the same day as a Russian oligarch with strong ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

As the president’s push for health care reform went down in flames last week, Kushner and his family were reportedly skiing in Aspen. Trump was said to be unhappy about the timing of the vacation.

Photojournalist Eric Rosenwald examined flight logs from airports in the area and found that Kushner arrived in Aspen on Saturday, March 18 — the same day as Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who has been described as “one of Putin’s closest confidants.” Abramovich is known to own a home in Aspen.

According to Politico’s Jake Sherman, Abramovich’s wife, Dasha Zhukova, attended President Trump’s inauguration as a guest of Ivanka Trump.

or it could be huge if they were carrying messages or coordinating actions. It could both explain why they went and why Rump's White House made sure everyone knew how angry he was that they were there. Or not.

IF not, though, you'd think "Javanka" would conspicuously avoid Russians like the plague right now.

Is this the same guy whose whose airplane has ghosted der drumpfenfuhrer's plane during the campaign at least once since the inauguration? You know, the guy who paid an extra $50 million for the estate in Miami. This family makes the mob and Bernie Madoff look like rank amateurs. I'm beginning to think that der drumpfen. . . really is a billionaire, with none of it being legit.

The guy you are thinking of is the infamous "fertilizer king" as Maddow dubbed him.
He's the one who bought that Miami mansion from Trump and tore it down to divide and sell the lots.

The funeral home director "corrected" by deleting such a comma the obituary I wrote for my husband, and I, a former English teacher, had a heck of a time trying to convince him I was correct. I think I ended by simply demanding it be my way, given what I was paying.
