Speculation Grows That Jared Kushner Will Leave

[RandySF]

Washington Post: “His still-evolving role in the investigations of Russian election interference and possible obstruction of justice also make him a potential risk to President Trump, even as he enjoys the special status of being married to the boss’s daughter, Ivanka, and serving as one of the president’s senior confidants.”

New York Times: “According to three advisers to the president, Mr. Kelly has even discussed the possibility of Mr. Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, departing the West Wing by the end of the year.”

1. They're all waiting for the one year mark

apparently there are tax benefits.

3. if they leave before the end of the year they get no benefit

If they stay until January then they will get capital gains exemption for any assets that they had to sell to meet ethics requirements

5. I think we'll see Rex bail out then

Maybe Sessions too. Surely a pack of lessor staff as well.
"Trump" on your resume is a pretty toxic blemish... better to say
you were on sabbatical or walk-about.

6. Tillerson, Mnuchin, Cohen have already packed their bags and will make millions on the exemption.

2. Jared

Jared seems guilty as hell. The quotes I’ve read from him and all of the times he “forgot” to mention his contacts with Russians makes me think he has something to hide.

4. Note to Jared: Leaving doesnt stop the investigation.

Flipping on your FIL does.

[bdamomma]

7. I would love for

that to happen. (flip on FIL)

[roamer65]

14. Me too!

[patricia92243]

8. This would give Trumps the perfect opportunity to resign and save face. "I am

quitting to save my family suffering, blah, blah, blah"

[VMA131Marine]

9. If Jared is smart (doubtful), he won't just leave the administration...

He will flee the country. He might be untouchable in Russia.

[Irish_Dem]

11. That might be his only out. He is heavily in debt here in the US. nt

[bdamomma]

16. good let him go there!!

let him take his FIL too!

[Xolodno]

10. Makes sense...

Get the windfall. Then turn on the FIL/Daddy since he's pretty much ruined the brand at this point...then try to save face and salvage what's left of the empire.

[gratuitous]

12. Well, IvanRed are working for no pay

They probably both have to start earning money to support the family. Can't work for free forever, you know.

[Solly Mack]

13. If they do return to NYC I hope they get the welcome back they deserve.

I'd really like to see both land on their asses - hard.

Whatever that entails or however it comes about. They both need a harsh dose of reality.

[L. Coyote]

15. Will they move to Russia?

Asking for a friend.

[milestogo]

17. You can never leave THE FAMILY.

[cwydro]

18. It is pretty to think so.

We can hope.

[VOX]

19. He should leave wearing one of Joe Arpaios striped suits.

and some flip-flops. Then he should be chained and driven in a cattle truck to Arizona and made to do time in one of Arpaio’s tent-city jails, exposed to the elements.

It’s only fair.

[Maeve]

20. Yeah, one of the first politicians to quit so he can spend LESS time with his family! eom
