>>> WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ARE NOW THE
PROUD OWNERS OF THE LARGEST AIRCRAFT CARRIER IN THE WORLD.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WENT TO THE COMMISSIONING
OF THAT AIRCRAFT CARRIER THIS WEEKEND.
IT IS NAMED THE GERALD R. FORD. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID NOTHING IN
HIS REMARKS ABOUT HOW GERALD R. FORD BECAME PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES, NOTHING ABOUT GERALD R. FORD NEVER HAVING
ACTUALLY BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT, BUT SIMPLY RISING TO THE OFFICE
AFTER RICHARD NIXON RESIGNED RATHER THAN FACE IMPEACHMENT IN
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND A TRIAL IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE AT WHICH PRESIDENT NIXON WOULD MOST ASSUREDLY HAVE BEEN
FOUND GUILTY AND REMOVED FROM OFFICE ON THE BASIS OF
INFORMATION DISCOVERED AND DEVELOPED INTO A SERIES OF
CRIMINAL CASES BY A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR.
THAT'S HOW GERALD FORD BECAME PRESIDENT.
IT WAS NOT MENTIONED AT THE NAMING, COMMISSIONING OF THAT
AIRCRAFT CARRIER IN GERALD R. FORD'S NAME.
IT WAS EXACTLY THE KIND OF SPECIAL PROSECUTOR THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS FAMILY AND CAMPAIGN ASSOCIATES ARE
FACING NOW. DONALD TRUMP MAY BE DRIVEN TO
DISTRACTION BY THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR.
DONALD TRUMP MAY BE PROVOKED INTO BURSTS OF TWITTER MADNESS
BY THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR. BUT NO ONE IN TRUMP WORLD IS
TAKING THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR MORE SERIOUSLY THAN THE
PRESIDENT'S SON-IN-LAW AND COMPLETELY EXPERIENCED CAMPAIGN
ADVISER AND NOW COMPLETELY INEXPERIENCED WHITE HOUSE
ADVISER, JARED KUSHNER. WE KNOW JARED KUSHNER IS TAKING
IT MORE SERIOUSLY THAN THE PRESIDENT BECAUSE JARED KUSHNER
HAS BETTER LAWYERS THAN THE PRESIDENT.
JARED KUSHNER HAS WASHINGTON LAWYER ABBE LOWELL DEFENDING
HIM. NO ONE IN THE TRUMP/RUSSIA
INVESTIGATION HAS A BETTER LAWYER THAN JARED KUSHNER DOES.
ABBE LOWELL HAS DEFENDED SENATORS AND PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES LIKE JOHN EDWARDS, POWERFUL CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
CHAIRMEN LIKE DAN ROSTENKOWSKI AND AT LEAST ONE SPEAKER OF THE
HOUSE. AND ABBE LOWELL SERVED AS
COUNSEL TO THE DEMOCRATS ON THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE WHEN
THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERED AND VOTED ON ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
AGAINST PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON. ALONE AMONG THE DEFENSE LAWYERS
IN THE TRUMP/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION, ABBE LOWELL HAS
EXPERIENCE DEFENDING A PRESIDENT IN AN IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDING.
BUT HE'S NOT DEFENDING DONALD TRUMP NOW.
HE'S DEFENDING DONALD TRUMP'S SON-IN-LAW, WHO MET WITH THE
STAFF OF THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE TODAY TO DISCUSS HIS
MEETINGS WITH RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND ASSOCIATES OF THE
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AND DURING
THE TRANSITION. AND IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT TO
THE COMMITTEE THAT WAS MADE PUBLIC, JARED KUSHNER SAID THAT
HE COULD NOT RECALL AND COULD NOT FIND ANY RECORDS OF TWO
PHONE CALLS WITH THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR, SERGEY KISLYAK, THAT
THE REUTERS NEWS SERVICE REPORTED OCCURRED DURING THE
CAMPAIGN. HE SAID HE DID NOT DISCLOSE A
MEETING HE HAD WITH A RUSSIAN LAWYER AND SEVERAL OTHER
RUSSIANS ARRANGED BY DONALD TRUMP JR. ON JUNE 9th OF LAST
YEAR. JARED KUSHNER SAID HE HAD
FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT MEETING WHEN HE WAS FILLING OUT HIS
APPLICATION FOR A SECURITY CLEARANCE AND DID NOT INCLUDE IT
AS ONE OF THE NECESSARY DISCLOSURES IN THAT FORM.
HE DID APPARENTLY DID REMEMBER THE MEETING WELL ENOUGH, THOUGH,
TO TELL THE COMMITTEE TODAY THAT, QUOTE, THE MEETING WAS A
WASTE OF OUR TIME, END QUOTE. THE E-MAILS SENT TO HIM TO
SCHEDULE THE MEETING WERE ENTITLED "RUSSIA-CLINTON,
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL." IN HIS WRITTEN STATEMENT TO THE
COMMITTEE TODAY, JARED KUSHNER DID NOT MENTION THE TITLE OF
THOSE E-MAILS, BUT HE DID SAY, I DID NOT READ OR RECORD THIS
E-MAIL EXCHANGE BEFORE IT WAS SHOWN TO ME BY MY LAWYERS.
TODAY JARED KUSHNER DESCRIBED TO THE COMMITTEE THE DECEMBER 1st
MEETING IN TRUMP TOWER WITH THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR THAT WAS ALSO
ATTENDED BY FORMER GENERAL MICHAEL FLYNN, WHO BECAME
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FIRST NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER BEFORE BEING
FIRED BY THE PRESIDENT FOR LYING ABOUT HIS CONTACTS WITH RUSSIAN
OFFICIALS. JARED KUSHNER TOLD THE COMMITTEE
STAFF TODAY, I DID NOT REQUEST A SECRET BACK CHANNEL.
I DID NOT SUGGEST AN ONGOING SECRET FORM OF COMMUNICATION FOR
THEN OR FOR WHEN THE ADMINISTRATION TOOK OFFICE.
"THE WASHINGTON POST" HAS REPORTED THAT, QUOTE, JARED
KUSHNER AND RUSSIA'S AMBASSADOR TO WASHINGTON DISCUSSED THE
POSSIBILITY OF SETTING UP A SECRET AND SECURE COMMUNICATIONS
CHANNEL BETWEEN TRUMP'S TRANSITION TEAM AND THE KREMLIN
USING RUSSIAN DIPLOMATIC FACILITIES IN AN APPARENT MOVE
TO SHIELD THEIR PRE-INAUGURATION DISCUSSIONS FROM MONITORING
ACCORDING TO U.S. OFFICIALS BRIEFED ON INTELLIGENCE REPORTS.
ON DECEMBER 13th, JARED KUSHNER HAD A MEETING WITH A RUSSIAN
BANKER WHO HE WAS TOLD HAD DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH
VLADIMIR PUTIN. KUSHNER SAID THAT THE MEETING
WITH THAT BANKER, SERGEY GORKOV, LASTED 20 TO 25 MINUTES.
IN HIS WRITTEN STATEMENT TODAY, JARED KUSHNER SAID AT NO TIME
WAS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT MY COMPANIES, BUSINESS
TRANSACTIONS, REAL ESTATE PROJECTS, LOANS, BANKING
ARRANGEMENTS, OR ANY PRIVATE BUSINESS OF ANY KIND.
I DID NOT KNOW OR HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH MR. GORKOV BEFORE
THAT MEETING, AND I HAVE HAD NO REASON TO CONNECT WITH HIM
SINCE. JARED KUSHNER'S EXPLANATION FOR
WHY HIS SECURITY CLEARANCE APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED
WITHOUT ANY DISCLOSURES OF ANY MEETINGS WITH ANY FOREIGN
OFFICIALS WAS, MY ASSISTANTNT D IT.
THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE WHOLE EXPLANATION.
HE ACTUALLY BLAMED HIS ASSISTANT FOR SENDING IN AN INCOMPLETE
VERSION OF THE FORM. BUT JARED KUSHNER'S SIGNATURE IS
REQUIRED NOT JUST ON THE LAST PAGE OF THE FORM, BUT ON THE
LAST FOUR PAGES OF THE FORM. HIS SIGNATURE IS REQUIRED --
LET'S SEE -- RIGHT HERE AND THEN, LET'S SEE, RIGHT HERE AND
THEN AGAIN UP HERE, ABOVE THE SIGNATURE OF THE PERSON WHO
EXAMINES THIS FORM, AND THEN ON THE FINAL PAGE RIGHT HERE AGAIN.
FOUR TIMES. YOU SIGN IT FOUR TIMES AT THE
END OF THIS FORM. IN THE PRIVATE QUESTIONING OF
JARED KUSHNER BY THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE STAFF
TODAY, HE WAS NO DOUBT ASKED ABOUT THOSE FINAL FOUR PAGES OF
THIS FORM IN WHICH HIS SIGNATURE IS REQUIRED FOUR TIMES.
AND THIS IS A FORM THAT SAYS RIGHT ABOVE THE VERY FIRST PLACE
WHERE YOU PUT YOUR NAME, "I HAVE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, AND I
UNDERSTAND THAT IF I WITHHOLD, MISREPRESENT, OR FALSIFY
INFORMATION ON THIS FORM, I AM SUBJECT TO THE PENALTIES FOR
INACCURATE OR FALSE STATEMENT PER U.S. CRIMINAL CODE TITLE 18,
SECTION 1001." JARED KUSHNER AND JARED
KUSHNER'S ASSISTANT HAD NEVER BEEN NEAR A MORE SERIOUS
DOCUMENT IN THEIR LIVES THAN THIS THING.
THE ONLY THING CLOSE TO THIS IS JARED KUSHNER'S TAX RETURN,
WHICH ONLY HAS TO BE SIGNED ONCE.
BUT IT IS ALSO A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT THAT IF
HANDLED INCORRECTLY, CAN SEND YOU TO JAIL.
JARED KUSHNER'S ASSISTANT NOW WILL HAVE TO TESTIFY ABOUT ALL
OF THIS. JARED KUSHNER'S ASSISTANT WILL
BE ASKED, DID YOU SEE THOSE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE FIRST PAGE
THAT WARN AGAINST WITHHOLDING INFORMATION AND EXPLAINS THAT
THAT IS A CRIME AND AND THAT YO BOSS, JARED, COULD GO TO JAIL IF
YOU GET ANYTHING WRONG IN THIS THING?
JARED KUSHNER'S ASSISTANT MAY THEN BECOME THE ROSEMARY WOODS
OF THIS INVESTIGATION. ROSEMARY WOODS WAS PRESIDENT
NIXON'S ASSISTANT, WHOSE DESK WAS RIGHT OUTSIDE THE OVAL
OFFICE AND WHO EXPLAINED A CRUCIAL 18-MINUTE GAP IN
PRESIDENT NIXON'S SECRET VOICE RECORDING SYSTEM BY SAYING SHE
CREATED THAT ERASURE OF THE TAPE WHEN SHE WAS TRANSCRIBING IT,
AND THERE SHE IS DEMONSTRATING THIS, TRIED TO ANSWER THE PHONE
AT THE SAME TIME. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
CREDIBLE IN WHAT ROSEMARY WOODS SAID ABOUT THAT AT THAT TIME.
TOMORROW JARED KUSHNER WILL
