Look at these turkeys.

Young Americas Fun Coupleand the grand marshals of this years Homecoming Parade in Stepford, ConnecticutJared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are both in a spot of trouble at the moment. This at least will give them something to talk about when the whole family, and everybodys lawyers, get together for Thanksgiving dinner next week. The way things are going in and around the First Family, youre going to need to swear out an affidavit to get somebody to pass the cranberry sauce, which may well be wired by the FBI.
First, it seems that Jared may have had one of his periodic memory lapses when the Senate Judiciary Committee asked him for some emails hed gotten from WikiLeaks and others that concerned a backdoor Russian overture to him and to the Trump campaign. According to Politico, the two ranking members of the SJC pretty clearly have in hand at least copies of the documents that Kushner forgot on top of the washing machine when the committee asked to see them. They wrote to Kushner:
We appreciate your voluntary cooperation with the Committees investigation, but the production appears to have been incomplete.
In other words, we know what you didnt send us and you have this one more chance before the hammer really comes down. Then, on Friday, Foreign Affairs lit one more fire under the Dauphin-in-Laws backside.
WikiLeaks tweeted some of the Observers coverage, including stories expressing doubt that the Russians had meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Kushner has long denied any collusion with the Russian government, which is suspected of targeting the 2016 election, but his newspaper proved a favored conduit for hacks, which the U.S. intelligence community says were carried out on Kremlin orders. The Observer was not the only outlet that received exclusive access to Guccifer 2.0 documents or those from other outlets such as DC Leaks, widely believed to be part of the same campaign but it was the only one owned by someone who was part of the Trump campaign.
As for the Tsarina, Reuters, working with NBC News, has some interesting details about the Trump Ocean Club in Panama, which, because this was a Trump Organization project, and this is the way they do things, involved Ivanka Trump meeting with shady financiers and Russian gangsters.
Alexandre Nogueira was the Brazilian swindler with whom Ivanka Trump apparently was so impressed that she brought him in on the development of the Ocean Club, and all the other international grifters followed after. Nogueira also as we have seen took it on the arches, leaving a battalion of angry people whom hed stiffed behind. This also is an essential part of the Trump Organization business plan, as we have seen.
Mr. Nogueira? Theres a whole lot of cocaine flaking off this stack of $20s.
Pay that no mind. Put em on spin cycle and forget about it.
I dont know how Robert Mueller keeps up. I truly dont.

"Gee, thanks, daddy, for the shit-storm you've gotten us all embroiled in. I was SO hoping that I'd have the FBI/Mueller poring over every financial transaction I ever made, reading my emails looking for criminal activity, snooping into every business I'm involved in - yay!!!"
Maybe Daddy Clause has promised that everyone will be getting a pardon in their Christmas stocking.

He got it and now he's the moral of the story.
Crash and burn!
