“Kushner has retained JAMIE GORELICK as his lawyer to navigate through the Federal legal and ethical issues. “

Seriously? That’s a HUGE problem for me.

I couldn't believe it when I read that report yesterday.

To me, this is one of the biggest warning flags I've seen in politics in years.

“...a Trump White House already rife with ethical questions...”

In fact, this amounts to Trump's "first attempt to ignore the law," according to Washington University government ethics expert Kathleen Clark.

Actually, it appears to be Washington University government ethics expert Kathleen Clark's first attempt to ignore the law during Donald Trump's presidency.

Perhaps Washington University government ethics expert Kathleen Clark needs a better prescription for her eyeglasses so that she can read the law properly, or perhaps she needs to do her homework better.

First Ladies sleep with presidents; there is no scandal in presidents listening to family members. The scandal is when the family members have line authority in the WH.

If Trump wants his son-in-law on staff, what of it? It is the president who acts.

Trump isn’t even accepting the salary he’s entitled to. It’s not as if Trump were firing the Travel Office staff and arbitrarily prosecuting them in order to justify replacing them with relatives who would be in a position to monetize their position . . .

Same Jamie Gorelick that put up barriers between the various govt agencies so they couldn’t communicate about threats?

Obama had a Tsar for about everything. (Tsars are made up positions that do not require Senate confirmation)

"Tsars" sounds a bit Russian, huh.

Kushner already said he’s not taking a salary.

Ugh, thought we were done with her. She'd know how to get around the rules. FR has had questions about Kushner which is now proving rightfully so.
