Morally bankrupt "republican family values" always disappoint. Too bad the KGOP and it's ignoble Draft-Dodger-in-Chief have rejected and pissed upon classic American values like truth, honesty, transparency, fairness, respect, dignity, and honor. Sad.

See here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10141903919

This site has just sexed up the wording a bit to make it sound more definite about what he did, and that it's 'breaking' - whereas CNN actually said "the documents are similar to the ones Kushner gave to congressional investigators."

Or perhaps try a Google search on the name of this news site, and tell me if you see what I do.

Kushner may or may not turn on Trump, but if it were to happen it would an event that people will remember for generations. To call it a game-changer wouldn't begin to do it justice. And yet, no other news organization is reporting it.

We know that Kushner has complied with document requests from Mueller. To make the leap from that to "he's helping Mueller build a case" is - and I HATE to use this term - fake news. It's pure clickbait designed to toy with those of us who believe that Mueller is all that stands between us and a very scary future.

There is no evidence that Kushner is willingly helping Mueller at all. More likely, he is trying to save it own skin and what is left of his family's real estate business.

but I agree with those to urge caution. There's nothing about this that I've found anywhere else, and it would be HUGE news that few media outlets would ignore.

Jared did give documents to Mueller's team, but that doesn't mean he's flipping. It means that he has to give them.

It appears that he's in way over his head aligning himself with Trump's quicksand empire.
He better stop struggling and grab whatever lifeline Mueller is offering him.

If he's been treasonous - then to hell with him.
But if he's just being lined up as Trump's "Wilmer Cook" then I think he should make his best deal and sing.
