1. The first media reports about Jared Kushner retaining Jamie Gorelick to represent him came out in January 2017. There were plenty of heated discussions here on FreeRepublic over it back then. I know this because I was involved in many of them. The article you linked seems to suggest that Kushner actually called Gorelick (which does NOT mean she was retained to represent him at the time) around November 2016. I have no idea how that supports your statement that Gorelick had been representing Jared and Ivanka Trump throughout the 2016 presidential campaign.

2. If Gorelick helped Tillerson in the confirmation process, then yes -- it makes him "suspect," too. I don't trust any Washington insiders -- and a lot of people here on FreeRepublic voted for Donald Trump because THEY don't, either.

3. The consensus among most people here on FR is that Jamie Gorelick should have been prosecuted for dereliction of duty for her role in the pre-9/11 bungling in the U.S. law enforcement and intelligence communities. She was appointed to the 9/11 commission that was charged with investigating U.S. preparedness against terrorist attacks even though she herself had been responsible for much of that preparedness herself. A person involved in an investigation of their own work is engaged in a conflict of interest by definition. I don't know how you would trust ANYONE in a new administration you support who would even allow their names to appear in the same sentence as this creature.

3. I survived the purges here on FreeRepublic that went on during the George W. Bush idol-worship of the mid-2000s, so I know how to be objective even if it means offending people by pointing out the giant red warning flags in Washington on any given issue or news item.

I realize nothing I say, no link to any story is going to satisfy you. You make claims about “the consensus here on FR is...” which you have no way of measuring or proving. Kinda like Brian Williams. You want Trump to ignore people he’s trusted & who helped him defeat Hillary. I get it.

As I stated earlier, it’s nice to see what the Trump’s enemies are up to.

Here’s the thing, President Trump has done an amazing job so far for the country despite his enemies to the right & the left. He will continue to do so. I trust President Trump’s judgement & I don’t trust yours. Gorsuch is on the Supreme Court. ICE is allowed to do it’s job again. President Trump proved the era of weakness is over with his surgical strike against Syria. Companies are starting to invest in America in greater numbers than in the last 8 years. Confidence in the economy is up since President Trump took office.

Trump’s accomplished so many things against a stacked deck all the while Jared & Ivanka & others have been advising him. If they are so bad, why is President Trump doing such a great job?
