The writers are getting lazy.  This development surprises nobody.

I know. It's like they're saying "You saw Season One's grand finale last week. This is just the Supernatural-esq build up to Season 2."

Yeah, this only confirms what we've already known, doesn't it?

The real story is that - according to several reports - Kushner has been the one Trump adivsor who has pushed for "aggressive action" against the DOJ and FBI the hardest, like the firing of James Comey.

This was kind of expected, especially after the visits to Russia.

I'm curious what Kushner's incentive to play puppet to the Russians would be. Flynn at least has the stupidity defense - "I didn't know they were Russian spies when I told them X, Y, and Z." Kushner seems to be, in Trunp terms, a smart cookie, and it seems less likely that he could be conned as easily.

If it ends up being that he really did collude with the Russians, Kushner would most likely be looking for some kind of business deal.

I'm actually surprised. I thought Kushner was a neocon and not an alt-righter.

He's neither, he and his wife are Democrats. They were our only hope in this administration, really.
