Jared's speech leaked. there may be no solution to the conflict in the Middle East.

Even congressional interns can’t be trusted after one leaked a recording of a speech by Jared Kushner in which he admitted “there may be no solution” to the conflict in the Middle East.

“So, what do we offer that’s unique? I don’t know,
” President Trump’s son-in-law said in the speech on Monday, which was leaked despite a stern warning from an administration staffer not to spill the beans.

“I’m sure everyone that’s tried this has been unique in some ways, but again we’re trying to follow very logically. We’re thinking about what the right end state is,” he continued in the speech, which was first reported by Wired.

“And we’re trying to work with the parties very quietly to see if there’s a solution. And there may be no solution
Prior to the talk, Katie Patru, the deputy staff director for Member Services, Outreach & Communications, warned the interns that recording the speech would be unethical.

“To record today’s session would be such a breach of trust, from my opinion. This town is full of leakers and everyone knows who they are, and no one trusts them. In this business your reputation is everything,” she said.“If someone in your office has asked you to break our protocol and give you a recording so they can leak it, as a manager, that bothers me at my core.”

On Tuesday, Wired posted a secret recording of Kushner’s remarks, which lasted for nearly an hour, on its website.

I could solve the Middle East problem in a matter of hours. I'd also solve world hunger and ISIS and climate change within my first 100 days. tRump is a loser! WE NEED PROUDLIB72 NOW!



So much winning my sides hurt.
