when things are going well and sometimes when things are not so well. when there s a dark cloud hanging over he s not around as often. this is obviously a dicey situation as far as the staff that works for jared kushner in the white house. i don t detect a ton of nerves from them, a lot of deferring to outside counsel for a lot of these stories. and jared kushner, his demeanor when you see him seems unchanged. but obviously he could be facing some legal problems here. and, you know, there are just a lot of questions that the special counsel is looking at pertaining to a lot of interactions potentially that he may have had with representatives of foreign governments that at first did not appear on that white house clearance form and also another key point here, especially in the obstruction of justice aspect of this investigation, is what was his role in the firing of james comey. we know from multiple sources he was supportive of it and part of
