Just heard on Rachel that Jared Kushner, dad and other family members pushed to get Mueller fired because the investigation of the Trump family business could lead the Feds to look at their own. Did I hear that correctly? Does that put them in legal jeopardy as well?

"Kushner's crook dad suggested he should tell the moron to fire Comey so that their family's money laundering activities wouldn't be discovered. That is in the book too."

but he still sounds like a fool and exactly how i imagined him to be in that book.

(89,247 posts)long before this book.
they both thought they were going to marry into something better. i actually think Ivanka did it for money also thinking they probably were really wealthy with more cash and without debts. and Jared thought the same thing and probably fell for all the bs about trump's wealth.

(20,998 posts)...Ivanka* is Daddy's girl, and truth be told, she is probably as calculating and manipulative as her old man... the difference is she is probably not a psycho/sociopath, just raised by one. And Jared*... clueless kid of privilege that's had his pathed paved by his old man for his entire life.
