WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is cooperating with a wide-ranging probe by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee into Trump and possible obstruction of justice and abuse of power, a person knowledgeable about the matter said on Friday.

Just hours earlier, a lawyer for Trump adviser Roger Stone said in a letter seen by Reuters that Stone was not cooperating with the same committee and cited his right to avoid self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

The contrasting responses to Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler’s probe targeting 81 individuals and groups came on the same day the Justice Department announced the completion of a report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Trump and Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

As a cloud of legal risk darkened over Trump, he was spending the weekend at his private club Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

1. Could Kushner be sensing...

he's a possible scapegoat? Or that he probably won't get a pardon? I get the impression Dolt was never all that happy with his spawn's choice for a husband.

5. At one time, tRump

claimed that Tom Brady COULD have been his son-in-law. My son said "Poor Brady had to settle for Gisele Bundchen???" tRump might THINK Ivanka is "One of the world's great beauties, but not many share that view of her.

10. Jealousy perhaps?

[no_hypocrisy]

2. A couple of things:

Kushner is not a Trump disciple. He's only married to his daughter. He's taken advantage of opportunities for both himself and for his family.

But make no mistake: He firsthand saw what prison did to his father. He ain't going there.

If not aversion to prison, then somebody's got something to ruin his family's business. He's a Kushner before a Trump.

And hey, if his FIL tells his wife to divorce him, he'll miss her to be sure, but he has enough of his own money to survive. (As for Ivanka, post-divorce, she'll return to being the Shiksa Goddess she was groomed to be.)

3. Kushner is Greg Marmalade

Dean Wormer, "He is a sneaky little shit just like you."

4. I wonder if the cooperation of Kushner is by his standards

or by the standards of the committee. Since the "knowledgeable person" is not identified there is no way of ascertaining the depth of cooperation.

6. Cooperate? Jared is a genuine Trump as far as 'trustworthy' goes.

Cooperate? Jared is a genuine Trump as far as 'trustworthy' goes.

Jared; tolerated in the right wing sphere as long as he is useful. When things go bad, it will become ‘blame the Jew’.

Breitbart had to be told by Trump to cut back on criticizing Jared.

7. All cooperation means here

Is that Kushner will not out of hand rejecting the House’s requests for records. It means absolutely nothing.

8. My source says ...

9. tRump should enjoy it while he can.

With any kind of luck, the traitor won’t have room service in his new digs.

[Dan]

11. I want New York State

To get Trump and his family, not the feds.

New York has that beautiful prison that they are trying to shut down, and that is the place for Trump(s).

12. Puhleeze.

"a person knowledgeable about the matter said on Friday"

[meadowlander]

13. Now watch him "amend" his testimony 50+ times like he did with his security clearance.

[Mr.Bill]

14. Cliff notes:

Stone takes 5th, Kushner continues to lie.

[YOHABLO]

15. Right. I wouldn't trust Kushner to clean the toilet. (not sure what that means..sounded good)

Maybe he'll be cleaning toilets in prison. Following in daddy's footsteps.

[BlueIdaho]

16. Jared is a fucking liar.

His words can’t be trusted. He has proven that in his past appearances before congress. Lock. Him. Up.

[AKing]

17. "A person knowledgeable" with way too much time on their hands awaiting Mueller report

[Evolve Dammit]

18. Don't believe it for a nanosecond. Devil incarnate (or at least an entitled, moralless prick)
