What’s in a Meeting?
Kushner says the meeting was about making America great.
Gorkov says the meeting was about making money in real estate.
Who should we believe,
The princeling or the KGB?
Doesn’t matter — either the meeting or the lie could seal Jared’s fate.
CIA Would Consider Kushner’s Actions Espionage
“I don’t want to overstate this because obviously there is a lot we don’t know… But I can’t keep out of my mind the thought that, if an American intelligence officer had done anything like this, we’d consider it espionage.”
— Former acting CIA director John McLaughlan, responding to reports that Jared Kushner “discussed setting up a secret communications line between Trump’s transition team and the Kremlin, The Hill reports.
Anything But Speeches
When Trump needs something, Jared’s his standby,
From Middle East Peace to Russian elites, he’s just fly.
But when it came to speeches,
Kushner overreaches,
He said, “I’m not a f*cking speechwriter, I’m a real-estate guy!”
Kushner Lied to Get Security Clearance
“When Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, sought the top-secret security clearance that would give him access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded secrets, he was required to disclose all of his encounters with foreign government officials over the last seven years. … “But Mr. Kushner omitted any mention of dozens of contacts he has had with foreign leaders or officials in recent months. They include a December meeting with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, and another with the head of a Russian state-owned bank, Vnesheconombank, which was arranged at the behest of Mr. Kislyak.”

Kushner Ain’t a Robert Kennedy
“Kushner hadn’t served a day on a school board before Trump put him in charge of, you know, America. Near as I can tell, his sole achievement in his young life — much like his wife’s — is to have spent his parents’ money on cool stuff, like some buildings and a once trendy newspaper you’ve never read.”

Ivanka and Jared Worth $741 Million
$741 million
“Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, will remain the beneficiaries of a sprawling real estate and investment business still worth as much as $741 million, despite their new government responsibilities, according to ethics filings released by the White House Friday night,” the New York Times reports.
Feckless and Un-Elected
To us, he seems like a bit of a bounder,
Though to his dad-in-law he’s a top advisor.
He’ll bring peace to the Middle East!
And he’ll set Russian banks unleashed!
The trouble is, nobody voted for Jared Kushner.
