Jared Kushner cites 'personal experience' that led to focus on prison reform

[left-of-center2012]

Jared Kushner said Monday that prison reform is "very close to my heart" because of his personal experience with the issue.

Kushner's father, Charles, served time in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to tax evasion, witness tampering and illegal campaign contributions.

"There was one issue that was very close to my heart because I had a personal experience, which was prison reform," Kushner said at CNN's inaugural Citizen Conference after outlining the sweeping mandate he was given by the Trump when he took office in 2017.

Trump did not campaign on prison reform, Kushner added, but -- over time -- the adviser said the President came around on the issue and "pushed us to see if we can be successful on the issue."

"He also has a lot of compassion that not a lot of people get to see as much as I do, and this is an issue that really has his heart," Kushner said.

2. Future personal experience??

I hope so.

3. I think he could use even more personal experience with the prison system.

And with any luck he'll have that opportunity.

4. "He also has a lot of compassion that not a lot of people get to see as much as I do"

Talking about Trump.

What bullshit.
The only reason Trump would care is if prison were in his future. This may give a clue to what the asshole is thinking about his future.

5. If he takes after his dear ol'dad and his

daddy-in-law he will be heading there himself. His own father ripped people off, lied, etc and he was a Dem. Same for Jared and the Con...all were Dems off and on and all rip people off through real estate. They are all frauds and cheaters and will sell this country for a quick buck. Jared's Dad told him to advise the moron to fire Comey so he wouldn't go sniffing around the family finances. Jared also is the one who became pals with Bin Salman causing tRump more problems. Why is he still in the W House and still has a security clearance?
