Kushner: Russian probes 'more harmful to country' than Moscow's election interference

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner on Tuesday asserted that the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election have been more damaging to U.S. politics than the interference efforts themselves, which he downplayed as "a couple of Facebook ads."

"Quite frankly the whole thing is just a big distraction for the country," Kushner said at the 2019 TIME 100 Summit.

"And you look at what Russia did, you know, buying some Facebook ads to try sow dissent and do it, and it’s a terrible thing," he continued. "But I think the investigations and all the speculation that’s happened for the last two years has had a much harsher impact on our democracy than a couple of Facebook ads."

"If you look at the magnitude of what they did and what they accomplished, I think the ensuing investigations have been way more harmful to our country," he added.

And the public will be given the impression that this is all just normal political bickering and tune it out.

We must grab the attention of the public by starting impeachment hearings.

Agree! He is another one that needs to be publicly shamed and revealed so the world will know what a traitor and a criminal he is. His name should be blackened so that he will be ridiculed the rest of his miserable life.
