The latest from the Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/special-counsel-is-investigating-jared-kushners-business-dealings/2017/06/15/5d9a32c6-51f2-11e7-91eb-9611861a988f_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_kushner-710pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.f4ee965eb90d
Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller is investigating the finances and business dealings of Jared Kushner, President Trumps son-in-law and adviser, as part of the probe into Russias interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to officials familiar with the matter.
FBI agents and federal prosecutors have also been examining the financial dealings of other Trump associates, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn, former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Carter Page, who was listed as a foreign policy adviser for the campaign.
The Washington Post had earlier reported that investigators were scrutinizing separate meetings that Kushner held with Russians in December first with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and then with Sergey Gorkov, the head of a state-owned Russian development bank. At the time of that report it was not clear that the FBI was investigating Kushners business dealings.
The officials who described the financial focus of the investigation spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

won't come under the investigation. He'll try to dodge it, but them government forensic dicks eat clowns like Trump for breakfast. He won't survive. His whole house of cards will fall and he'll be exposed as the bamboozling, con artist fraud we've long known him to be.

Every night there is some major development that comes from either WaPo or the NYT. Tonight it is WaPo's term for the breaking news

That is good news for us, I think.
