Spicer says Kushner is ready to tell Congress all he knows about the matter??

[kentuck]

Why hasn't Congress asked him to come forward if he has volunteered to talk?

Is there someone preventing him from coming forward? Who would it be? Richard Burr, the Chairman, or Mitch McConnell, or Donald Trump, or the Special Prosecutor, or someone else?

It seems strange that they are not taking up his offer to talk?

1. All he is going to say is how he was innocently going to bring about world peace...

by using secret communications because it was the only he could avoid the world-wide liberal conspiracy that is out to get Trump.

You know because there is nothing more important to the Trump admin than world peace and human rights.

It has nothing to do with anything like.....say shady deals and money, play for pay. Honest.

2. He just needed to use the restroom at the embassy

It was the closest to where he parks.

(As if anyone can take anything Spicer says at full value)

3. Translation: Kushner is ready to manipulate and bamboozle Congress.

It's possible Congress already knows everything they need to know about Kushner from Intel briefings.

Or maybe they feel Kushner won't give honest testimony until he's told by the FBI etc what's going to happen to him if convicted for espionage.

P.S. I wouldn't beleive Spicer if his tongue came notarized.

4. Strategy at play

By waiting, they can build up more info when they finally do talk to him. They can use pieces of those things to lead him to believe they have more and force his hand. If he thinks they know more than he thinks, he will have a better chance of slipping up. It's a fishing game, but it's smart fishing.

5. I think they are playing both sides of the story.

Thru the press spokesman, they say that Kushner is ready to talk to the Congressional Committees and tell them everything he knows.

But...

Behind the scenes, they are telling Mitch McConnell and Richard Burr that they do not want Jared testifying at this time?

Perhaps?

6. Talking out of both sides of their mouth

Story of Nunes telling big money donors that this whole thing is completely made up and nothing but Democrat sour grapes for losing election.

Trump calls it fake news

Trump quotes a fox and friends unnamed source article saying Kushner didn't suggest the back channel but the Russians did.

Trump's lawyer is refusing to testify to congress

Kushner is willing to talk to congress...about what if he didn't do anything to talk about? Just to say "hi"?

For people that didn't do anything they sure do change their stories a lot and/or act defensive and fight talking about it.

Hint: if you are actually innocent you work to be as forthright and honest as possible in order to clear your name.

7. They do seem to be changing their stories a lot

But from what I'm gathering from Trump administration sympathizers, nothing untoward was happening, honi soit qui mal y pense, and all that. I am waiting patiently, however, for the identification of the folks who think it would be a good idea for the Trump administration to set up a direct line to the Kremlin at the Russian embassy, and why they think that. Ethel Rosenberg was executed by the U.S. for less than that.

8. I am more convinced with each passing day...

...that it is indeed, espionage.
