http://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-jared-kushner-could-choose-a-new-lawyer-to-represent-him-in-russia-probe/Attorney Abbe Lowell is among the attorneys contacted on Kushner's behalf, the report said. She is representing Sen. Robert Menendez, D-New Jersey, in a case involving federal corruption charges and she has represented the powerful GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff, the Times noted.
******************************************
Notes about Abbe Lowell:
1) He not she.
2) People hire Lowell under one set of circumstances--they're worried not about avoiding an indictment but rather in avoiding a conviction at trial.
Besides Menendez and Abramoff, he also represented John Edwards and was the Democrats' head counsel during Clinton's impeachment trial.
This is not a guy who's brought in to work something out with the DOJ.

(15,805 posts)3. If anyone knows where Trump's skeletons are buried, its Kushner,
but he has several of his own skeletons that are being investigated.
Mueller is now investigating Kushner financial dealings in Russia. Just how deep is he involved with Trump's Russian ties and the possible collusion to interfere in the 2016 presidential election? Oh, and there's that little matter where Jared asks the Russian Ambassador if he could pop over and use his top secret spy phone to establish a backchannel discussion between the new Trump administration and Moscow's Putin.
Yeah, the dufus probably though no one would care what he was doing on the sly, and anyone who is that stupefyingly arrogant, definitely needs really good lawyers.
