Jared Kushner’s Lawyer Tricked by Troll Into Revealing Something Interesting

Politics • Views: 34,897

As revelations emerge that at least six Trump administration officials used private email accounts to discuss White House business, now we’re learning that Jared Kushner’s lawyer was fooled by an email prankster into making some rather eyebrow-raising statements about Kushner’s emails.

On Monday, the prankster wrote to Lowell from the address kushner.jared@mail.com asking what he should do with “some correspondence on my private email … featuring adult content.”

“Can I remove these?” the prankster asked.

“Forwarded or received from WH officials?” Lowell responded.

“I think one was forwarded from a White House official, we had discussed a shared interest of sorts,” the prankster said. “It was unsolicited. Then there are a handful more, but not from officials.”

I need to see I think all emails between you and WH (just for me and us),” Lowell wrote. “We need to send any officials emails to your WH account. Not stuff like you asked about. None of those are going anywhere.”

“But we can bury it?” the prankster responded. “I’m so embarrassed. It’s fairly specialist stuff, half naked women on a trampoline, standing on legoscenes, the tag for the movie was #standingOnTheLittlePeople :(“

This is the second time a lawyer for a senior White House official has been tricked like this. Do these guys ever learn?

Besides the hilarious “half naked women on a trampoline” line, though, the really interesting part of this exchange is that Kushner’s lawyer seems to be saying he has not reviewed all of Kushner’s White House emails — and he previously said:

“…fewer than a hundred emails from January through August were either sent to or returned by Mr. Kushner to colleagues in the White House from his personal email account.”

So did Lowell actually make claims about Kushner’s emails without seeing them himself? You know they’re working on a way to spin this right now, and they’ll probably say Lowell was only referring to the emails with “adult content.”

To be fair their may have been a litigation search done. This is generally not done by the lawyers themselves and he may have gotten a summary with total number of emails found, without actually reading any of them.

The cynicism of the GOP, especially the Senate GOP caucus and its leaders has been absolutely breathtaking. I’ve been reading Al Franken’s book, and I don’t know how he works with these people - which he does as often as it’s possible, because that’s how shit that needs to be done gets done.

One reason I’ll never trust the NeverTrumpers is that they seem perfectly fine with all of it, saying ‘McConnell is a genius as a legislative strategist’, while completely ignoring the irreparable damage he’s done to the goal of actual governance.

They may try to combine “repeal and replace” with tax reform, since they are both basically efforts to shovel money to billionaires. That’s the only way they can try to do it through reconciliation now before the midterms.

McConnell has spent the last eight months doing everything he said he opposed when he claimed he wanted to restore regular order to the Senate. And he failed spectacularly, which gladdens my heart. Here’s hoping his effort at “tax reform” is as grand a failure as “repeal and replace.”

As I pointed out in the previous thread, the White House didn’t even realize Trump’s press conference was with the Spanish Prime Minister, because it called him “President Rajoy.” Spain has no President; its a monarchy.

The Spanish PM’s official title is Presidente del Gobierno (literally, “president of the government”). This is normally translated in English speaking countries as “prime minister” because that is the normal title for the head of a parliamentary government.
This is because parliamentary systems differentiate between heads of state and heads of government. In a parliamentary monarchy, like Spain, the monarch is head of state. In a parliamentary republic like Ireland or Israel, there is a largely ceremonial president who serves as head of state.
In the United States and most (but not all) republics, the president is both head of state and head of government.

Prime Minister of Spain
The Trumpsters will no doubt argue that they are using the true title, but they are also breaking long-standing precedent and it is not hard to believe that they do so out of ignorance.

That’s on top of what the USAF can transport, once runways that can handle their transport craft are clear.

Right. So, instead of putting the valuables in a safe in your basement, you put them in a locker at the bus station. Great.

I worked in secure mobile comms for the US government. I know something about this. I understand why Clinton used her own server for unclass mobile email, because the government solution at the time sucked. And when you’re at the cabinet secretary level, like an operational commander whom you would outrank, you need to be able to balance risk with the need to accomplish the mission. Obviously, she didn’t get to do that.

There’s no reason why anyone sitting in the White House would need to use a private email. It was done to avoid scrutiny, and I assume we’re going to find out why. With these assholes, you don’t have to dig very deep; they’re almost comically corrupt.

Lock them up. Blumenthal says Manafort, Flynn indictments are 99% certain.

Criminal charges against two former top advisers to President Donald Trump are virtually certain, Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Tuesday.

Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort are almost sure to be indicted as a result of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, the Connecticut senator told POLITICO.

“I’m about 99 percent sure there will be some criminal charges from this investigation,” said Blumenthal, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Blumenthal has also served as a U.S. attorney and spent 20 years as his state’s attorney general.

Blumenthal said he is less certain Trump himself would end up facing charges, including for possible obstruction of justice for his firing of FBI Director James Comey.

But he said that several Trump associates may find themselves under indictment.

Manafort and Flynn “are the most prominent,” he said, “but there may well be others.”

I expect the Pittsburgh Pirates, remembering their legendary Puerto Rican hero, to jump into this big-time:

“Clemente spent much of his time during the off-season involved in charity work. When Managua, the capital city of Nicaragua, was affected by a massive earthquake on December 23, 1972, Clemente (who visited Managua three weeks before the quake) immediately set to work arranging emergency relief flights.[62] He soon learned, however, that the aid packages on the first three flights had been diverted by corrupt officials of the Somoza government, never reaching victims of the quake.[63] He decided to accompany the fourth relief flight, hoping that his presence would ensure that the aid would be delivered to the survivors.[64] The airplane he chartered for a New Year’s Eve flight, a Douglas DC-7 cargo plane, had a history of mechanical problems and subpar flight personnel, and was overloaded by 4,200 pounds.[65] It crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Isla Verde, Puerto Rico immediately after takeoff on December 31, 1972 due to engine failure.[66] A few days after the crash, the body of the pilot and part of the fuselage of the plane were found. An empty flight case apparently belonging to Clemente was the only personal item recovered from the plane. Clemente’s teammate and close friend Manny Sanguillén was the only member of the Pirates not to attend Roberto’s memorial service. The Pirates catcher chose instead to dive into the waters where Clemente’s plane had crashed in an effort to find his teammate. The bodies of Clemente and three others who were also on the four-engine plane, were never recovered.[66] Montreal Expos pitcher Tom Walker, then playing winter league ball in Puerto Rico (in a league later named after Clemente), helped Clemente load the plane, but either because of the plane’s weight load or because he wanted Walker, who was single, to go enjoy New Year’s,[67] Clemente told him not to join him on the flight.

Belafon  Sep 26, 2017 • 1:11:19pm

Hmmm…

Several dozen conservative Catholic scholars and clergy have charged Pope Francis with spreading heresy, a bold but perhaps futile salvo against Francis and his reform-minded papacy.

The widely publicized, theologically dense letter was delivered to the Pope with 40 signatures on August 11, according to its organizers. It has since gained 22 more signatures and was released to the public on Saturday. In a press release, the organizers say they speak for “a large number” of clergy and lay Catholics who “lack freedom of speech.”

The letter does not accuse the Pope himself of being a heretic, but of supporting “heretical positions” on “marriage, the moral life and the Eucharist.”
..
Specifically, the letter charges Francis with promoting seven “heresies,” most notably through his openness to allowing some divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion.
..
A press release accompanying the letter calls it an “epoch-making act,” with no precedent since 1333. That may be true, Catholic historians say, but likely overstates the letter’s actual significance. A number of the signees are members of a traditionalist group that has already broken away from the Catholic Church.

Conservatives are too full of themselves everywhere.

I agree somewhat, but there is also this thing called diminishing returns. They are already looking pretty foolish. The polling numbers are against them, and too many more attempts just make them look desperate in the face of America trying to tell them they want the ACA fixed up like it should be with the help of both parties.

And most of the attention will go to the failure of Trump and the Republican congressional “leadership” to enact their toxic agenda despite full control of government. And that is a big part of the story. The Republicans are too incompetent to inflict the full damage they intend. But there is an even bigger part of the story.

The Democrats haven’t wavered in protecting Obamacare. Republicans couldn’t peel off even one Democratic vote. That speaks to the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and it also proves once again that even the worst Democratic members of Congress are paradigmatically better than even the least worst Republicans. No one should be allowed to forget that. And we all owe the Democrats our gratitude.

The Republicans will inevitably attempt to revivify their zombie efforts, but this current process is over. Because the Democrats refused to budge. And now Democrats can ramp up the conversation about how to improve Obamacare and put us on the path toward a full single-payer national healthcare system that affordably provides quality access to everyone.

The Democrats in states Trump won should really be commended. But the comments in the article include “No, three Republicans defeated it” and “Jimmy Kimmel defeated it” and “The Democrats did virtually nothing.”

Ya know. I’m curious how Facebook and Twitter will handle the bots and fake troll accounts (this has been in my head for awhile - as someone who does not do either FB or Twitter). What if the bulk of accounts and usage was done by bots and only a facade of real people to prop it up (willing or not - more likely not). Thus FB and Twitter’s business model must prioritize and keep those bots safe because if it were found out that so many people on their sites were “fake” their social empires would crumble. Thus they have a vested state in keeping those bots there and active.

That only works to Russia’s and any other rat fuckers interest. Social media - may be the biggest evil of them all.

I’m preemptively and retroactively respecting Democrats because we didn’t lose last time, it was rigged and nothing has changed. So I’m always going to point out these realities especially when folks start on with the Dems should have done this or that or need to do this or that.

You can do everything right and still lose. So then I ask why and sometimes I want to focus on fixing or at least highlighting that. We have, in many cases, foreign empowered, propaganda at play here in a big way and to ignore that like we aren’t just as susceptible to it’s dangers as every other country hints at a bit of American exceptionalism. Vote harder and register more is not always going to be enough when the game is rigged.

I fight every fight but I’m not going to act like the whole damn thing is not especially fraught with unique and systemic difficulties that align pretty well with the fight I was born into by virtue of my skin color. So yes, we have to address the Fox in the room that is dancing with the Elephant. That Elephant has been in the room since America started and has never been properly reckoned with.

And I am certainly going to toast one tonight for saving Ocare once again! Woot! I made 15 calls over 2+ weeks and talked a bunch of others into calling as well (at least I hope some of them did as they said). That will not stop. I would like to talk about how we stop Fox sometime.

The democrats did the minimum of the minimum, guys. Eh, remember that time when Congress didn’t default on the debt? And we all applauded this great accomplishment? Also not a single airplane fell today! Airline companies deserve a medal!

It’s already hard enough not to tell people how obvious it was that this bill was dead before people knew it even existed, I’ve witnessed a week of constant self-fuelled panic akin to scare tactics, and I can’t say a word about it on the off-chance that this complete frenzy somehow did influence any of those republican senators.

Because again, sorry, the GOP’s civil war made another predictable victim all by itself. I’m more than willing to pat democrats for denouncing the thing and mounting the opposition against it, but at some point let’s also recognize that it’s their darn job. So yay for them.

They had been together like 15 years. She is still here.

That is true. Manchin is a Democrat, which automatically makes him better than at least 94% of the Republican Senators. If there had been some big push to secure Manchin’s vote for “repeal and replace” and it actually cost him something to vote against it, I’d give him kudos for that. But the fact is that the GOP made no effort to woo him, the bills were incredibly unpopular, and they would’ve devastated his state. He deserves credit for being a Democrat, but this wasn’t a hard vote for him.

Correct. It only applied to “over the air” commons. Cable, since it is paid for does not need to meet those requirements. But its has changed once. At one time on cable you could see a pair of breasts. The reason was that it was not an open ended connection to all (commons, broadcast TV) and was paid for. This line over the last 20 years has eroded. No longer can you say certain words on cable (that you could at one time do), and no longer can you turn to a channel and see porn. Since that line as eroded it may be worth a shot to see if cable and all technological infrastructure can be labeled the “commons” then it would come under the protection and regulation of the Federal Government.

I don’t care about your politics or your political affiliations. It’s not your position or who you vote for. I dont care who you vote for. I care how you decide who and what to vote for.

it’s how you develop that position, how you make your evaluations and decisions. The process - the critical thinking, in gathering info, acceptance of what you hear and see, that is more of a window on who you are (and aren’t) than anything else

Are you this guy:

No, he really didn’t do the bare minimum. He stood against Republicans in a state that has been willing to elect people that will destroy their state.

I will add that the Republicans who decided not to murder their constituents deserve credit for that, but even for them it shouldn’t be that hard a vote. The ones who were willing to vote for absolutely anything the GOP leadership put in front of them, otoh, don’t even clear the bare minimum of what we should expect from our elected representatives.

critical thinking skills.

and i would be super clear while going further: “reason” and “rational” do not mean “agree with me”. the way a lot of people toss it around. “if only you’d listen, or read this, you’d understand and you’d see the light.”

I don’t care about your politics or your political affiliations. It’s not your position or who you vote for. I dont care who you vote for. I care how you decide who and what to vote for.

it’s how you develop that position, how you make your evaluations and decisions. The process - the critical thinking, in gathering info, acceptance of what you hear and see, that is more of a window on who you are (and aren’t) than anything else

This, a million million times, this. I am always skeptical of anyone who can’t actually articulate a logic behind their position. It’s one of the reasons I don’t bother having political discussions (read: arguments) with most of my family any more. Their entire line of reasoning is: Republicans good, Democrats bad; doesn’t matter what the two parties actually believe (they’re always shocked when I point out that the official GOP position is no abortion ever and the right to discriminate against gay people), they are Team R all the way.

The thing about standing with Schumer and Pelosi is this: When election time comes around, Republicans will say “Joe voted with Pelosi 95% of the time” and Republicans who are glad they have their health care will nod their heads gravely and wonder why he should still be in office.

Those Republicans are idiots then if they can’t figure out by now that it is the Democrats who are protecting their access to affordable healthcare. Not sure how our side could ever reach them if they are somehow crediting Republicans for saving their healthcare plan.

Then he tried to tell me I didn’t understand genetics, and crowed that he’d grown fibroblasts in a research lab in the 1970s.

The analogy between the support of the Republican Party and the way someone supports their sportsball team is great. And Trump is testing to see who wins, politics or sportsball.

For what it’s worth, I think there’s probably a decent number of people on Team D that probably couldn’t articulate a reason beyond “my parents are Democrats and so I’m a Democrat.” They just tend to be less politically active, I think, the kind that a lot of Democrats complain about for not showing up in mid-term elections or other state/local elections. Among Republicans, though, they’re more active and much more loud (and usually angry).

(note: this is purely opinion and I have no analytics to actually back it up)

Could not agree more. A fair informed process can of course still lead to error but less often and mostly less profoundly wrong. In the whole campaign nobody I spoke to personally had a great argument for Trump. It was always “but not HRC” at first, in the middle and in the end of the discussion. It was never how capable trump is or was in some endeavor. the closest was “He’s a businessman that owes nothing to DC”. I always saw that as anti Hilary light. Rookies rarely prevail. Everybody knows this.

The Genetic Engineer stays home. Who the fuck wants to go to Death Valley, where the sun tries to kill you?

Three engineers are crossing Death Valley in a rental car. Suddenly, the engine coughs and dies.

The Electrical Engineer says, “There must be something wrong with the ignition system.”

The Chemical Engineer says, “I think it’s that fuel we bought this morning.”

The Software Engineer says, “Let’s get out of the car and get back in.”

Microsoft developer: “Let’s fix it by loading the trunk up with the biggest, heaviest, most useless boulders we can find, and then pouring sand into the gas tank.”

Or, “Let’s take exactly the same car, and move all the controls around so you can’t find them, and then tell people ‘It’s more intuitive!’”

The steering wheel can be just above the floor and next to the brake pedal, and the gas pedal can be mounted on the sunroof.

The biggest problem is that the heat is now on by default, and they moved the heater control from the dashboard to the inside of the left rear wheelwell.
