Is it conceivable that Jared Kushner is guilty of more than Trump is?

[milestogo]

Trump strikes me as too stupid to be the mastermind of anything. Kushner strikes me as conniving and deceitful. I just wonder who is going to be in the most trouble when it all comes to light.

[shraby]

1. I have a feeling with Flynn having spilled the beans, we'll find out much

sooner than we expect.

[Iliyah]

2. NO.

[rzemanfl]

9. +1 n/t.

[pnwmom]

3. No way would Kushner be plotting with the Russians without Trump's approval. n/t

[Puzzledtraveller]

4. Absolutely

he serves the establishment interests even more than Trump does and so does someone else, Pence.

[malaise]

5. No n/t

[Fullduplexxx]

6. No it's luke trump said "i call the shots" , im the only one that matters etc.

He may not have cone yp with the plan to conspire with russia but he most definitely okayed it

[dalton99a]

7. Kushner appears to be the more active conniver, but no

One reason is Trump's connections run longer and deep

[2naSalit]

8. Daddy has decades of experience on

the czarina's boytoy.

[whathehell]

12. Yeah, but Jared's daddy did time in the Federal pen,

I believe, do he's no stranger to, um, the "ouutlaw way".

[Kingofalldems]

10. No. He took his orders from Trump.

That's why the ABC story is true.

[genxlib]

11. I suspect also

That the ABC story is true but they just did not have the story locked up tight enough to pass editorial standards.

After all is said and done, Donnie is too big a control freak to allow that stuff toe be decided without him.

The question is whether there is a trail of evidence that proves it. I would not put it past them to conduct all such business off the written record.

[JHB]

13. Ivanka would report anything her husband did to...

...the oversized toddler who lists after her.j

She knows where her bread is buttered.

[frazzled]

14. The buck stops at the top

Even under the unlikely assumption that Trump "did not know," he is responsible for knowing the actions of his top staff and advisors, so the buck still stops with him.

(This is not a legal claim, only an ethical and moral one.)

[DangerousUrNot]

15. I dont know

I think Kushner is a major player but I’m not sure if he’ll be in more trouble than Trump when it’s all said and done.

[Behind the Aegis]

16. As others have already said, "No!"

However, it is fodder for anti-Semites as evidenced in this article:

FLYNN’S COOPERATION IN RUSSIA INVESTIGATION FALSELY BLAMED ON JEWS AND THE MEDIA BY FAR-RIGHT CONSPIRACISTS

BY MICHAEL EDISON HAYDEN ON 12/1/17 AT 4:18 PM

Retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn has reportedly offered his cooperation in the special counsel’s Russia investigation. If ABC News is to be believed, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser is specifically prepared to testify that the president directed him to reach out to the Russians, “initially as a way to work together to fight ISIS in Syria.”

Well, this news is unsettling for some of Trump’s fans on the far-right end of the political spectrum. Some of them are currently storming through the Internet, looking for a scapegoat—any scapegoat at all, really—upon whom they can heap blame for this particular turn of events. Jewish people, who are among the primary targets of alt-right abuse on social media, have taken quite a bit of the heat so far, and Democrats, the media and Barack Obama have also been targeted with wrath.

One of these abusers is Jared Wyand, a Trump mega-fan who accumulated a huge following on Twitter during the election—only to be banned for calling Star Wars: Rogue One part of a Jewish conspiracy in December of last year (yes, really)—who posts into the void on Gab, a social media website that hosts large numbers of neo-fascist, Nazi, and white supremacist users. He let his followers know that he thought the Jews were not only responsible for this Star Wars-related plot, but also for the bad news about Flynn.

“Not that any of this is anywhere near criminal but here is Zionism at the center again,” Wyand mused on the alt-right’s favorite social media site. “I wonder (((who))) was pestering Trump admin for this information.” (Far-right social media users put triple parenthesis around words—“who,” in this case—to connote Jewishness.)

Undoubtedly, it will also be used by all stripes of anti-Semites, which why are seeing comments about him being a "Jew traitor", "taking his family to Israel since he is more loyal to Israel", and of course, the ever-present, coded "Zionist". In the next few weeks we will see more and more anti-Semitism...from both directions!

(To be clear to you and the jury, I am neither calling nor implying you are an anti-Semite!)

[bettyellen]

17. Nope. He called the shots. This is ridiculous, expect to hear it on Fox. Nope.

[JI7]

18. NO NO NO. they are both too stupid to be mastermind of anything

Kushner has full permission from Trump to do the things he does.

[Achilleaze]

19. JarJar K. gots degenerate "republican family values" up the wazoo

[loyalsister]

20. Yes

It would make sense to create a situation where the actual misdeeds are traced to a scapegoat who would protect Trump.

[Demsrule86]

21. No.
