In 2007, Kushner graduated from New York University where he earned his J.D. degree and his M.B.A. degree;[17] his father had previously made a $3 million donation to NYU in 2001.[12] He interned at Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau's office.[8][14]'
Both look questionable to me.

Thankfully, many of those posters are either pizza'd, or have decamped for sites that support the President-elect.

(20,998 posts)...Trump trusts and confides in Kushner. During the last hectic weeks of the campaign, with Trump flying back-and-forth, Trump could not sleep and always insisted that someone stay up and talk with him. According to sources he (Trump) preferred the quiet, whispering voice of his son-in-law whispering in his ear that everything was going well.
Kushner, along with Steve Bannon, was behind the gotcha moment at the second debate, when Bill Clinton's alleged sexual victims were prominently seated in an attempt to distract Hillary Clinton.
WAS DONALD TRUMPS SON-IN-LAW THE EVIL GENIUS ALL ALONG?
Jared Kushner is reportedly responsible for building the digital operation that brought the G.O.P. to its knees, and could give rise to a whole new Trump empire.

Among the many curiosities surrounding the Trump campaign have been two central mysteries: who is really running the show, and what do they plan to do with Donald Trump once its all over?
Both were answered by Bloomberg Businessweek on Thursday, in a wide-open look at the sprawling digital operation being built by key members of the Trump campaign and how they plan to leverage their massive voter database post-election day. And Jared Kushner, Trumps reticent son-in-law, appears at the center of it all.
Over the past several months, Kushner, a fellow real-estate scion and aspiring media mogul, has emerged as one of Trumps most trusted advisers. The 35-year-old owner of the New York Observer has taken on an increasingly vital role within the campaign, with reports placing him behind some of Trumps only policy speeches, brokering meetings with members of the conservative establishment, and offering advice on debate preparations and hiring decisions at critical moments in the campaign. He is also reportedly the driving force behind efforts to get the much-rumored Trump TV off the ground.

(20,998 posts)Trump son-in-law Kushner reportedly settling Christie score in transition
<snip>
But its now clear the New Jersey Republican could have done without the Kushner family coming back into his life.
Seryl and Charles Kushner are the parents of Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, who reportedly blocked Christie from becoming Trumps vice presidential nominee and now has led the ouster of Christie allies from the president-elects transition organization.
The motive: Christie as U.S. attorney was involved in the prosecution of Charles Kushner, who was sentenced to prison in 2005 on 18 counts of tax evasion, witness tampering and making illegal campaign donations.
The latest casualty came Wednesday: Kevin OConnor, who is close to Christie and has been leading the Justice Department transition team, is out. Christie and OConnor were both U.S. attorneys at the same time, OConnor in that role for Connecticut from 2002 until 2008 while Christie was serving in New Jersey.
