In a new long-form piece from the New York Times about general White House mayhem, the lede is buried all the way down in the twelfth paragraph. That’s where you learn that Donald Trump’s newly assembled legal team, and attorney Marc Kasowitz in particular, have grown frustrated with how Jared Kushner has been able to manipulate his father-in-law: “The president’s lawyers view Mr. Kushner as an obstacle and freelancer more concerned about protecting himself than his father-in-law, the person said.” In other words, Kushner is sabotaging Trump by trying to steer him toward what’s best for Kushner, instead of what’s best for himself, when it comes to the Russia scandal.
This takes us back to when Donald Trump first fired FBI Director James Comey. The story surfaced in widespread fashion that it was Jared Kushner who pushed the hardest for Comey’s firing. Only later did we learn his motivation: he had lied about his own Russia meetings on his security clearance form, which is a felony. Kushner wanted Trump to put a stop to the FBI’s digging at any cost, even though he had to have known full well that firing Comey would lead to Trump’s unraveling.
And now we find out that Jared Kushner also lied on his clearance form about the Russia meeting he attended with Donald Trump Jr. No wonder Kushner is trying to push Donald Trump into doing what’s best for Kushner in the scandal, even if it means sabotaging Trump in the process.
