Just in case Trump thought he was out of the woods.

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is cooperating with a wide-ranging probe by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee into Trump and possible obstruction of justice and abuse of power, a person knowledgeable about the matter said on Friday.
Just hours earlier, a lawyer for Trump adviser Roger Stone said in a letter seen by Reuters that Stone was not cooperating with the same committee and cited his right to avoid self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The contrasting responses to Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler’s probe targeting 81 individuals and groups came on the same day the Justice Department announced the completion of a report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Trump and Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
As a cloud of legal risk darkened over Trump, he was spending the weekend at his private club Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
Kushner submitted documents to Nadler’s panel on Thursday in response to a wave of document requests sent by the committee on March 4, the knowledgeable person said.
Interesting that Kushner feels confident in providing documentation, while Roger Stone is clearly sweating bullets here.
On the Mueller report front we learned this today:
Breaking on @MSNBC: Pete Williams reports that Attorney General William Barr will not be submitting a summary of his findings to Congress today. A DOJ official says that the goal of trying to do it this weekend still holds.

I don’t want to speculate too much, but it would seem to me that if there was nothing troubling in this report that Trump would be pushing Barr to get it out there as soon as possible so he could start his victory lap.
Jared Kushner updated his security disclosure form at least 40, that’s FORTY, times!! I think any information he has provided Congress at this point, is probably bread crumbs and will be misleading and incomplete. The guy with the dead eyes is a crook, just like his old man. I’m still hoping that there are sealed indictments waiting for Kushner and the rest of the Trump clan.
You have to question the competency of anyone who updates their paperwork 40 times and still gets it wrong. You pretty much can reach any other conclusion than that they are a criminal hiding some sort of crime. At. 40 times no one can be that stupid.
OT:
Can someone please explain to me why people proudly displaying their Not Of This World stickers on their automobiles are worried about illegal immigration or a goddamn wall not being built on the US / Mexico border?
I’m sure his is, just as sure as Kushner’s name is on one of those sealed indictments Mueller left with the DOJ as part of his report.
The mueller report will take time to translate into English from Arabic.
Why is Jared cramming a dildo in his ear?
Whoops, that’s a phone.
If I were Kushner, I would flip and ask for immunity for me and Ivanka. Then turn over every rock and sit back watching the fireworks.
