Did Kushner just lie in his statement this morning? I mean specifically . . .

[skip fox]

He wrote this morning of his June meeting with Trump Jr., the Russian attorney, et al.:

Reviewing emails recently confirmed my memory that the meeting was a waste of our time and that, in looking for a polite way to leave and get back to my work, I actually emailed an assistant from the meeting after I had been there for ten or so minutes and wrote "Can u pls call me on my cell? Need excuse to get out of meeting." I had not met the attorney before the meeting nor spoken with her since. I thought nothing more of this short meeting until it came to my attention recently.

I put the section in question in bold.

Presumably he has had his assistant do this several times in the past, maybe constantly. Would had have provided the rationale ("Need excuse to get out of meeting" ) if it was a common occurrence. Probably not. It's easier and quicker just to request the call. This email he said he looked up, then, is likely a fraud

1. He should be facing charges right now

For lying on his security clearance form...which he still has.

2. I thought that was a stupid stmt

if you go to a meeting, you put phone on airplane mode.
Easy to pretend to take a call. So while in the meeting he is sending an e-mail????

3. These s.o.b.s are so damnd slick, but when they try to cover their asses

they overdo it.

What Kushner is really saying is this:

"Oh yes, I know I left early because I found this e-mail. You can tell it's real because of all the nice detail and how fully it describes the context."

But he over did it!. Why provide context? It takes time, and the writer of the first sentence hated to waste time so much he used abbreviations. Then none in the second sentence. Why? (Likely answer: because it was added later.)

So he's doctoring past e-mails????

4. And giving this to congress means he porbably lied

to Congress.
