Is the unnamed campaign office the former WH staffer who was escorted off premises a few days ago because he couldn’t get a security clearance?

His name escapes me, and that’s OK. His 15 minutes of fame — or infamy — is over!

Kushner is not a genius.

Kushner has a dumpy little magazine in the digital age and its web site at the time was equally dumpy.

written by a former employee. jarhead doesn't come off well.

[link:https://www.cjr.org/special_report/cjr-kyle-pope-jared-kushner-observer.php|]

and a quote from another former employee:

“We’re talking about a guy who isn’t particularly bright or hard-working, doesn’t actually know anything, has bought his way into everything ever (with money he got from his criminal father), who is deeply insecure and obsessed with fame (you don’t buy the NYO, marry Ivanka Trump, or constantly talk about the phone calls you get from celebrities if it’s in your nature to ‘shun the spotlight’), and who is basically a s***head.”

His remarks consisted of buzz words, not all of them current, when he was describing some program he needed funded.

LITERALLY a sentence of buzzwords. He stammered and was nervous.

The response was brutal. "You know nothing" was the nicest reply.

Some of the same techniques as money laundering.

Don't forget there was a Russian bank in Trump Tower making a lot of traffic with the Trump Org server.

The Russian academic at Cambridge University had concealed holding an academic position at a Russian university.

Lukoil, #2 Russian oil company, was involved with CA despite having almost no US operations.

Kogen was, indeed, an academic at the University -- which denies any connection whatsoever with Cambridge Analytica. And his affiliation with a Russian university (St. Petersburg U.) has to be more than just an unconnected coincidence with the whole Trump affair.

Regardless of your political standpoint Facebook is used to manipulate its users. The news about how one side used them has come out, wait for news about how the other side used them to come out in the next few days.
