angry that he wasn t getting apparently dirt on hillary clinton is something that democrats are picking up on right now. i want to read you dianne feinstein who is the ranking member of the judiciary committee. they reveal a top campaign official and they were frustrated and angry that the meeting did not produce enough damaging information on their opponent and if you read that one exchange with jared kushner where rob goldstone, kushner got mad in the middle of it and he appear appeared frustrated and agitated and said i have no idea what you were talking about there, this isn t the dirt we were promised on hillary clinton. does this matter? i think it matters a lot ask it undercuts this whole attempt by don junior to walk back saying he hadn t told jared or manafort about the purpose of the meeting. why would kushner be upset or frustrated unless he had a pretty strong sense of what the meeting was for?
kushner over some time omitting foreign context, trying to set up a back channel with russian officials, in a normal administration and that s not a diss. the president hired his daughter with no real job description and his son-in-law, would he still, would kushner still have this interim security clearance? well, we re already more than 300 days into this administration and still has an interim security clearance. now, i know that security clearances can take a while to be awarded in many cases but not when you re talking about one of the president s most senior advisors, so obviously there are people that have already got concerned that there s something amiss here and it s very likely in another administration with another official, he d be out the door already. they ve certainly let a lot of other white house officials go, but back on january 20th,
would make sense that the team would speak to kushner about flynn. but again, he could be called back. we know that mueller s team has been asking other witnesses about kushner and his role in the firing of james comey. so we ll see what happens. this reporting we learned about today but it didn t take place today, it took place weeks ago? that s right. it was earlier this month. why would kushner be important to the investigation if it s focussing on michael flynn. they were close in the transition and early on before michael flynn was fired. if you recall they met with the russian ambassador during the transition at trump tower and kushner and flynn s paths crossed a lot. he worked closely with the then national security advisor michael flynn, so it does make
even though this was a situation, a discussion that focused primer on michael flynn, it s worth noting that jared kushner could be called back, anderson. he could go back in front of special counsel to answer other questions about other topics. michael flynn is the subject of the russia probe, and that there are reporting that he could reach a plea deal, so it would make sense that the team would speak to kushner about flynn. but he could be called back. we ll have to wait and see what happens. this meeting didn t take place today, it took place weeks ago? yes, it took place earlier this month. why would kushner be important to this investigation if it s focusing on flynn? kushner was a proponent of michael flynn.
progress here. now, historically you have to be skeptical, but would kushner s visit means especially right now is that trump is absolutely serious. he wants to restart a peace process and kushner being here raises the stakes for both israelis and palestinians. kushner s trip is short. he s on the ground for less than 24 hours but he has meetings with the israeli prime minister and the meetings will be quote, long and intense so we ll see what comes out of it and if he makes any demands for concrete steps with his meetings here. so far it s been a different presidential advisor who has essentially done the leg work who s had the meetings, who s been to the region three or four times but now it s kushner shoved into that main role here. remember he was here a month ago with president trump s visit. now he s in the spotlight and we ll see what comes out of these meetings and if there are concrete steps or any sort of progress here. as this is happening israel just announced its first new
