    Default Jared Kushner-The Next Domino To Fall

    President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Sergei Kislyak, the former Russian ambassador to the U.S. One of the alleged falsehoods that led to Flynn’s indictment appears to implicate Trump’s own son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner.

    Court filings and multiple reports hint at an elaborate, multinational effort led by Flynn and Kushner to undermine then-President Barack Obama at the behest of then-President-elect Trump.

    No doubt Ivanka is weeping and begging Daddy to "do something" to save her little priss from prison. I'm sure there's a money trail there too. These are clever and crafty types though who no doubt have laundered and re-laundered any compensation received in exchange for whatever they were promising the Russians.

    This is getting real.

    The question is, what will Trump do when his son in law is indicted. He does have options, none of which are good.

    Should be interesting, first an associate, then a close employee, family seems the next step, and being a family member adds an additional element

    But, guarantee the strategy on how to work with the worse scenario possible is already planned at the White House, keep in mind a third of the nation believes everything and anything the guy says, and he isn't honorable enough to pull a Nixon, so I envision him tearing apart the country to satisfy his own ego

    Please cite the statute which stipulates "undermining the outgoing president". This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. How do you "undermine" a lame duck president?

    The wild speculation and wishful thinking is no more "real" than it's always been, lol.

    You just cant be as stupid as you sound, asshole. Ask Mueller what the law is when you intentionally undermine the policy of a current president before taking office. Its a shame we cant indict Reagan also for the very same act.

    Excellent. It would appear that several of the Trumpites' gooses are cooked, eh?

    So now we have established both intent to influence a foreign government and the fact that such was attempted. Do we also need a motive? Or do the former two suffice?

    My opinion is that the motive was to smooth the way for Trump's enterprises in Russia. There's also the widely-held belief that he owes a great deal of debt to the Russian banks and perhaps even the Russian mafia.

    Yes, the Logan Act, which most constitutional scholars agree is unconstitutional. Nobody has EVER been convicted under the Logan Act. This is scurrilous hogwash. Even the Washington ComPost agrees. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poste...=.afa4d54f82aa

    It is common practice for transition teams to make contacts with foreign governments. O'Bama "violated" the Logan Act too, will you be calling for His head? I think not.

    I actually don't think this law has ever been enforced with any frequency.

    Neither being a lawyer, nor privy to Muellers investigation myself, I would be opening myself to mere speculation to go down this road. But, the fact that Flynn and the Trumpettes have been telling Mueller lies, and generally acting like they have something to hide (e.g., firing Comey; begging the Senate Intel committee to drop the investigation, et al.) sure sounds like obstruction of justice and conspiracy are in play.

    But it is a law, correct?

    The only way to find out if it's Constitutional or not is to test it, eh?
