JARED KUSHNER TOLD DONALD TRUMP THAT FIRING COMEY AND FLYNN WOULD HELP END RUSSIA PROBE, CHRIS CHRISTIE SAYS

Jared Kushner told his father-in-law, President Donald Trump, that firing former FBI Director James Comey and ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn would help end an investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, Trump’s ousted White House transition team chairman Chris Christie claims.

Kushner, who serves as a senior White House adviser, misjudged the two firings, Christie states in his book Let Me Finish, a copy of which was obtained by The Guardian ahead of its January 29 release. According to Christie's account, Kushner believed that firing Flynn would put a stop to conversations about links between the Trump campaign and Russia during in the 2016 presidential election. Kushner, Christie wrote, also told Trump that firing Comey would not cause “an enormous -storm.” In both cases, Kushner's alleged advice proved to be spectacularly ill-judged.

“Again, the president was ill served by poor advice,” Christie wrote, based on detailed talks with Kushner in which he acted in an informal capacity.

Trump in February 2017 fired Flynn, after he misled Vice President Mike Pence, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and press secretary Sean Spicer about his talks with a Russian ambassador during the transition. The president in May 2017 fired Comey, who was then leading the probe into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russians, citing his handling of an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server usage.

So Kushner was wrong.  Kind of old news isn’t it?

And yet family members still hold sway as staff inside the Whitehouse.

So you are against First Ladies holding sway in the WH?

I don't think Christie can be considered a credible witness as he is disgruntled about being turned down for positions in the administration. Kind of like Mueller is bitter about being rejected for the FBI director job.

Only gruntled applicants should be considered for these key positions.
