Report: Kushner Fears ‘Everyone Is Out to Get Him’


White House senior adviser Jared Kushner has reportedly become paranoid about his own colleagues in the West Wing after his security clearance was downgraded this week and his family’s business ties subjected to new scrutiny. A source cited by CNN late Wednesday said Kushner believes the publication of a Washington Post story about his contacts with foreign officials was intentionally timed to coincide with the news of his diminished security level in the White House. The report claims officials from China, Israel, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates discussed ways to manipulate him through his business ventures. Kushner suspects intelligence officials sat on the information for months and then leaked it to the press when he was already under scrutiny for lacking a permanent security clearance, the unnamed source told CNN. Kushner is said to be under the impression “everyone is out to get him,” including his colleagues. He has reportedly privately vented frustrations with the decision of White House Chief of Staff John Kelly to overhaul the security-clearance process, at times asking others, “Why is Kelly doing this?”

This is what happens when the "privileged" are permitted to operate under the radar and break the law for so long that they are clueless that what they were doing WAS illegal. And then when called on it, they come up with an "affluenza" excuse.

and she told him exactly the same thing. He thinks his colleagues are out to get him. She explained that he is so arrogant and superior to everyone else that it would never occur to him that he brought this on himself. He sincerely believes that he is doing a great job despite having no experience or qualifications. Just like his Daddy in law it is never his fault since he is so much better than everyone else. That is why he doesn't realistically believe he did anything improper so why would he end up in jail.

In today's modern Republican Party, where their righteous belief that the ends justifies whatever means because of the evil liberal Boogeyman, even further inTrump World where it's just one big grafting Frenzy.

Somehow, he is that despicable, that they put the knives into him.

If a foreign government is sitting on information that they think can undermine you...

That is one of many reasons that you can’t get a top secret clearance.

They are not two unrelated things.

.... HE DID NOT PASS HIS BACKGROUND CHECK. Anything else is pure b.s..

Regarding the mortgage for 666 Fifth Avenue: “The company still holds half of a $1.2
billion mortgage, on which it hasn’t paid a cent. The full amount is due in February 2019.”

Oh, I don't know, Jared, maybe just to give a hint of propriety to an otherwise ethics challenged White House? I know the Kushners and Trumps have never worried about playing by the laws and rules. Laws and rules are something commoners must adhere to, and have never applied to your two families before. But the gosh darn American people seem to think it's somewhat important for their leaders to set an example for honesty and integrity. Go figure!

This pampered little fuck-wit thinks he's being persecuted now? Wait until Mueller is finished with you, sonny! Do you think Ivanka will wait for you while you're in prison, Jared? After all, she IS a Trump, and the apple never falls far from the tree!

Trump had to tell Breitbart to quit knocking Jared.

Trump's eviscerating 200 years of legal precedent and policy in the service of family corporate debt? This was going to be .. well received?

These people are their own walking delusion

this POS had been in the prior Obama administration, in fact all the trump pets, Congress would have impeached President Obama, Michelle, Sasha and Malia and like Franken, would have tarred, feathered and run the whole family out of town. No doubts. Michelle, Sasha and Malia added knowing the extremely racist nature of ameriKKKan culture-society.

His own colleagues? What about his own behavior? You should have known your Father in Law shouldn't have run for President. That you always had a shady business, and now you're part of the Government , and too close to people who take down shady people as their bread and butter.
