We all know about the the (Not So)Smart Set at the MSM covers Russiagate like an ostrich.
The MSM tends to cover Russiagate like an ostrich-if it misses something while it's head is buried in the sand it figures it must not have happened

There’s been very little recent reporting and nothing unredacted in Mueller’s sentencing memos-and so the MSM forgets about Kushner and assumes he’s in the clear. The Smart Set’s current narrative-a la Ken Dilanian and Chuck Todd and Cillizza and friends-is the Mueller report will be a nothingburger-Dilanian very helpfully crafts the Russia House’s talking points for them by constantly framing it as ‘the rules say Mueller must say nothing if there aren’t any indictments.’
Because unlike when the subject was Hillary Clinton everyone’s very sensitive to following the rules. With her it was about ‘a 500 year flood and extreme transparency.’
Then Laurence Tribe had a major damning piece in Newsweek.
I should make clear that I have no private information about Kushner but am relying on inferences from public sources and from @SethAbramson’s extensive research, which I have found trustworthy in the past. https://t.co/Wj71KBzDeQ

So maybe a few MSMers remember Kushner’s involvement again. Most recently focus from the House Dems has been how Trump forced officials to hand the poor little rich prince a security clearance despite these officials warning that he’s a clear security risk.
But Tribe’s piece-based on Abramson’s work-underscores just why Kushner’s illeigitimate SC is such a clear and present national security threat-Kushner is Trump’s Dick Cheney only the situation is much more dire.
1/ Whatever you think VP Dick Cheney was to President George W. Bush, take that, make it 3 times as sinister, make Bush 10 times more sociopathic and a devout criminal, and make Cheney stupid, venal, and entirely dismissive of our rule of law and you get what Kushner is to Trump.

One disaster with Kushner’s fingerprints all over it was the Qatar blockade. The Russia House allowed it after the Qatari turned down a huge loan to Jared’s Dad. When Qatar reversed itself on the loan, no more blockade. What a coincidence that ‘had nothing to do with the President and doesn’t prove Russia Collusion’-to anticipate the response of Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Then there was Khashoggi-the American MBS-Jared-is very tight with the original MBS who clearly is implicated in this brutal assassination.

Cockburn tells us that his sources tell him Bill Barr and Bob Mueller are in disagreement about indicting ‘President Trump’ but there’s total agreement on indicting Prince Kushner.
Several sources tell Cockburn that the Special Counsel has indeed completed his report. It is said to recommend indicting three of President Trump’s children – Don junior, Ivanka and Eric – as well as his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The Attorney General, William Barr, is said to have ‘silently assented’ to this. It’s also claimed that Mueller wants President Trump himself to be indicted. Barr is said to oppose this. The two men met on Friday but apparently could not agree and this was the reason for the delay in any announcement from the DoJ. At least this is what the sources say.

Why the Flynn Sentencing Memo Could Be Bad News for Jared Kushner

Let’s attempt a list-the rap sheet is so long of all Kushner’s rap sheet.
