So Kushner is in Iraq for two days and the WH starts renegotiating

with the Freedom Caucus regarding the AHCA. Did Priebus have to get Kushner out of town to make that happen? Just speculating. Seems like someone like Kushner would have more important stuff to do than fly all the way to Iraq. Though he could be in touch via smartphone I suppose.

If Kushner is in Iraq, he's there to meet someone under the cover of darkness and away from the American press.

That doesn't mean he didn't take other meetings behind closed doors.

fighting over Trump's conciousness. The other factions are priebus/Ryan vs. Bannon/miller. They may not be centrist at all but relative to the other two factions they seem someone less heartless.
