Was I the only one to hear this? Kushner FAMILY conspired to obstruct justice.

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?

But I heard that it was Comey, not Mueller. Maybe he suggested both. I wouldn't be surprised considering how this group of liars and cheeters is running/ruining the country.

"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."

And it's not a big shock since Charles Kushner was already convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, witness tampering, and was disbarred.

so he knows their wealth or whatever would not protect them . but maybe he thought marrying into the trump family would protect him. especially with trump being president.

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

...he thought he was getting a source of funding to help alleviate his family's financial issues and she got an admission to a higher-level of New York society. IMHO, they both over-estimated the benefits.

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.

...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.

See my post here:

CNN and other media outlets wrote about Kushner's possible motivations and role in the Comey firing. Here's one from CNN:
