"The main takeaway from the Kushner news is similar to the takeaway from Trump and Flynn’s handling of the Russia probes. We have a series of actions by people who seem to be concealing specific contacts with Russians connected to the Kremlin’s intelligence services and then acting to thwart an investigation. One of the overlooked aspects of yesterday’s news is that Kushner played a role in the firing of James Comey. Kushner is not formally a target of the F.B.I.’s sprawling investigation. The Bureau has all the memos ... always had them all. 'These memos weren’t just some personal little effort by Comey. it was the tip of the operation, and Comey knew it & really felt accountable to the rest of the people around him to tell them what is going on and help them be a part of the decision-making.' We still don’t have a crime in this case, but there is an awful lot of coverup."
