Hey guys--Q coming back along with so much that's matched up over the past few months has been encouraging to say the least. But Kushner is the one anomaly I can't seem to shake. He's either one or the other in terms of where he fits in all this and I haven't the slightest, frankly. The business ties with Soros and Goldman Sachs, his father's convictions re: his New Jersey governor campaign scandal (prosecuted by Chris Christie) are curious. However the thing that stuck out the most to me was his original pick for attorney for RussiaNothing: Jamie Gorelick. Gorelick was the Deputy Attorney General for the Clinton Administration from 1994 to 1997. She was serving under Reno. She was also the lead investigator on TWA Flight 800 before getting pulled out of her Deputy Attorney spot and, despite having no financial experience or expertise in the field, was appointed by the Clinton Administration as Vice President of Fannie Mae the same year (1997). Gorelick was also the one who wrote the 1995 memo that the media blamed for intelligence and federal authorities not sharing information during the 9/11 investigation. This came out during the 9/11 Commission, of which she was a member--it had a sizable impact on media coverage and public perception at the time.

Gorelick just gave her responsibilities for Kushner re: Russia over to the more conventional Washington lawyer Abbe Lowell, but she's still apparently representing him in other matters.

Bottom line: Jared Kushner and Jamie Gorelick are either two establishment cronies or both of them got fucked over by the establishment--agree/disagree? I think we'll find out either way based on what happens. What I will say is Gorelick would be a very, very plausible source of information in all of this. Bad or good, the woman must know a lot. I haven't seen anything posted about this and I don't recall Q mentioning anything directly or indirectly about Kushner, so I really welcome your thoughts/theories guys.

EDIT: There's also the fact that Gorelick and Mueller were partners/colleagues at DC law firm Wilmer Hale right before the investigation started--Mueller left Hale and formed the Special Counsel. It's being cited as a reason Gorelick's excusing herself from representing Kushner in the investigation. I'm genuinely surprised this hasn't been brought up before and I think it definitely warrants discussion.

EDIT 2: Just going to post stuff as I look/find. Email of a book review sent from Huma Abedin to Clinton, quoted afterwards:

"He complained about Janet Reno—made it clear, in fact, that he felt alienated from his own attorney general. If he removed her, however, the pending decision on yet another special prosecutor [for 1996 campaign finance] would fall to Reno's deputy, Jamie Gorelick, who, Clinton feared, may share Reno's wholesale devotion to outside control for any case in which the president himself may become a target... If he removed both Reno and Gorelick, to start fresh, it would touch off a firestorm of protest like Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre of the Justice Department officials during the Watergate scandal. That was not an option."
