Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, uses an unofficial online messaging service for official White House business, including with foreign contacts.

I'm so sick of this grifting little traitor.
by @npfandos #Maddow nyti.ms/2YceeRM
House Oversight Committee Chairman @RepCummings demands documents on Jared Kushner's alleged use of an encrypted app for official business by April 4 and has signaled that he may issue subpoenas if the White House refuses to comply.
#Maddow
But their emails. Seven members of Trump’s team have used unofficial communications tools: Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, Gary Cohn, Stephen Miller, and KT McFarland.

Trump himself refuses to adhere secure comms rules.
#Maddow wapo.st/2TPYjd7
Kushner lawyer Abbe Lowell told lawmakers, per @RepCummings, that Ivanka Trump doesn't forward email she receives to her official White House account unless she replies. Cummings says this "would appear to violate the Presidential Records Act."

"In Moscow they're waiting to get beyond Mueller. They thought they were promised a lot of things...from candidate Trump, including lifting of sanctions--"

In exchange for what?

KT McFarland's Dec 29, 2016 email: "...Russia, which has just thrown the USA election to [TRUMP].”
KT McFarland's Dec 29, 2016 email to another transition official, Tom Bossert, re Flynn's call with Kislyak: "The sanctions could also make it much harder for Trump to ease tensions with Russia, which has just thrown the USA election to him.”
#Maddow
In the early weeks of the Trump admin, former Obama officials and State Dept staffers fought an intense, behind-the-scenes battle to head off efforts by incoming Trump officials to lift sanctions on Russia and return their diplomatic compounds.

#Maddow

Trump has repeatedly covered for Prince Mohammed over Khashoggi's death, instead touting the value of planned arms contracts — albeit an inflated one— between Riyadh and Washington and maintaining that the kingdom is "a very good ally."

businessinsider.com/trump-faces-se…
Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser who has a close personal relationship with Prince Mohammed, also avoided naming the crown prince when asked about Khashoggi's killing.
"President Trump has steadfastly insisted the US-Saudi relationship is more important than establishing accountability for murder,"

2015, people. Alerts were sent by our ally intel services in 2015!! “GCHQ first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump & known or suspected Russian agents.” gu.com/p/69exm/stw
"The European countries that passed on electronic intelligence – known as sigint – included Germany, Estonia and Poland. Australia, a member of the “Five Eyes” spying alliance that also includes the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand, also relayed material, one source said."
"They [the European agencies] were saying: ‘There are contacts going on between people close to Mr Trump and people we believe are Russian intelligence agents. You should be wary of this.’

“The message was: ‘Watch out. There’s something not right here.’

The desperate cries emanating from Trump’s reptilian lips comprise the death rattle of his presidency.

It seems a bit bleak out there, so let’s talk about how f*cked Trump is.

[THREAD]
1/ Paul Manafort, the mobster whom Trump hired as his campaign chairman, is a felon convicted on eight counts of fraud. He will die in prison. He is afraid to appear in court because he fears the Russian “thieves-in-law” who own him will kill him.

That's the CAMPAIGN CHAIR.
2/ Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney, is going to serve three years in prison for crimes he committed AT TRUMP’S BEHEST. Which means Trump is guilty of those same crimes. Cohen is also a mobster, with long ties to Russian OC.

That's the PERSONAL ATTORNEY.

Earlier this month it was reported that Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, had put pressure on Jordan to strip the refugee status of more than two million registered Palestinians residing there.

middleeasteye.net/news/trump-cal…
Following that report, Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation's executive committee, said Kushner's move was part of a broader effort by him and the Trump administration to render UNRWA irrelevant and halt its work.
In January, the US announced it would withhold $65m of $125m that it had planned to send to UNRWA, which is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions from UN states, including those from the United States.

If you spent time with your family over the weekend, you may be questioning your sanity right now about all things Trump/Russia.

You are not nuts. Those gaslights really are a wee bit dimmer this morning.

[THREAD]
1/

YES, Trump really is exploiting the presidency for personal gain. He really is profiting off the office to an egregious degree that would have made the Founders physically ill.

YES, he really is appointing unqualified cronies to key jobs.
2/
YES, Trump's campaign chairman, the guy who steered the ship from May through August -- peak Treason Season -- really is looking at a prison term that is longer than the USA is old. One of those charges really is "Conspiracy Against the United States."

Let’s talk about Jared #Kushner: son-in-law & senior adviser to 45, wife to The Scientist, son to a scumbag convicted felon, head of a failing RE company, recidivist SF-86 liar, and traitor to his country.

[THREAD]
1/ It can be tempting to regard Jared Kushner as a little twerp, an undeserving nebbish who bought his way into Harvard yet somehow gets to boink Ivanka and also run the country. Let’s put that stupid narrative aside.
2/ Kushner is arguably the most egregious lawbreaker & evildoer in all of Trump’s Cell Bock D of an administration. He is more criminal mastermind than schlemiel. Not a GOOD criminal mastermind, but still. What is already publicly known is enough to convict him many times over.
