Jared Kushner is so busted

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Ivanka Trump once tweeted in jest that her husband Jared Kushner was “so busted.” Kushner has since been implicated in a number of potential crimes ranging from conspiring with the Russians to obstruction of justice, the phrase has taken on a life of its own. Now, based on a pair of major developments, Kushner is indeed busted. Part of it stems from a crucial detail that most of the media missed this week, but Special Counsel Robert Mueller surely noticed.

Over the past several months, numerous major news outlets have reported that Donald Trump blames Jared Kushner for having pushed him into firing FBI Director James Comey. That decision quickly went south when it resulted in the appointment of Mueller to take over the investigation, and the firing itself became fodder for obstruction of justice charges. Now we’ve learned that just a few weeks after Comey was fired, Trump instructed his people to fire Mueller as well.

This demonstrates a pattern of intent to obstruct justice on Trump’s part. Based on the timing, there is every reason to suspect that Kushner may have also pushed Trump into making the attempt at firing Mueller. If Mueller can find evidence of this, and he’ll surely try if he hasn’t found it already, it would nail Kushner for a pattern of obstruction of justice as well. But this wasn’t even the only thing that went wrong for Kushner this week.

A federal judge has ruled that Jared Kushner’s family business must disclose its secret partners (link). This means we’re about to find out about how Kushner’s business is truly being funded, which foreign entities are involved, and any political favors that he may be trading in exchange for personal gain. Kushner is having an arguably even worse week than Trump is. Jared is so busted.
