Kushner got emails about WikiLeaks, Russia in 2016, lawmakers say


“Other parties have produced September 2016 email communications to Mr. Kushner concerning WikiLeaks, which Mr. Kushner then forwarded to another campaign official,” they wrote. “Such documents should have been produced...but were not.”

“Likewise, other parties have produced documents concerning a ‘Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite’ which Mr. Kushner also forwarded. And still others have produced communications with Sergei Millian, copied to Mr. Kushner. Again, these do not appear in Mr. Kushner’s production despite being responsive to the second request. You also have not produced any phone records that we presume exist and would relate to Mr. Kushner’s communications regarding several requests.”

...

"According to the lawmakers, Kushner’s attorney suggested providing some documents might “implicate the president’s Executive Privilege.” In their letter, they asked Lowell to resolve those issues and produce the documents or create a “privilege log” to detail which documents the president is asserting executive privilege to protect."

These guys are/were convinced that Hillary has been committing conspiracy and treason for years and they all thought they could just get away with it "too." I think they sincerely thought that the investigative powers of Congress and the FBI were diminutive and that there would be no consequences for their actions, not realizing the Congress had launched dozens of real investigations that found nothing and that the FBI actually determined that there was no malicious intent.

Yeah. Too many spy movies and conspiracy theories. Where else would the Trumps get their world views?

That's a good point. Plus it's a group of people who have operated in the shadows with very little oversight (relative to public corporations and other government institutions).

The fact that Kushner is still lying and withholding information is somewhat mind boggling and leads many to believe he is hiding something.

If I had to guess, Mueller probably already has him on a similar charge as Papadapolous - especially if Kushner is pulling the same type of shit he's doing with congressional investigators.
 
Great point, birdman. They believed conservative lies and thought they could get away with everything conservative media said Obama and Hillary got away with.

Problem is when the powers that be actually find something, the same media will say it was a liberal witch hunt.
 
Kushner failed to disclose outreach from Putin ally to Trump campaign

by Ken Dilanian and Carol E. LeeNov 17 2017, 5:53 pm ET
WASHINGTON — President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, failed to disclose what lawmakers called a "Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite" involving a banker who has been accused of links to Russian organized crime, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

An email chain described Aleksander Torshin, a former senator and deputy head of Russia's central bank who is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as wanting Trump to attend an event on the sidelines of a National Rifle Association convention in Louisville, Kentucky, in May 2016, the sources said. The email also suggests Torshin was seeking to meet with a high-level Trump campaign official during the convention, and that he may have had a message for Trump from Putin, the sources said.

Kushner rebuffed the request after receiving a lengthy email exchange about it between a West Virginia man and Trump campaign aide Rick Dearborn, the sources said.

Kushner also responded to the email by telling Dearborn and the handful of other Trump campaign officials on the email that they should not accept requests from people who pretend to have contacts with foreign officials to aggrandize themselves, according to one person familiar with the email. Dearborn currently serves as a deputy chief of staff in the White House.

While Kushner told Dearborn and other campaign officials on the email not to accept Torshin's offer, Torshin was seated with the candidate's son, Donald Trump Jr., during a private dinner on the sidelines of an NRA event during the convention in Louisville, according to an account Torshin gave to Bloomberg. Congressional investigators have no clear explanation for how that came to be, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Can you imagine the conservative uproar if Chelsea's husband had a senior position in Hillary's administration and had failed to disclose these kind of meetings?

They would actually have a real Hillary scandal for once.
 
I missed this part in the NBC article above.

And this is perjury...
