Trump campaign digital director throws Jared Kushner, Eric Trump under the busBrad Parscale, director of the Trump campaign's digital operations, just put Jared Kushner and Eric Trump squarely in the crosshairs of the ongoing Russia investigation.
By Caroline Orr JANUARY 5, 2018
Brad Parscale, digital director for the Trump campaign, took to Twitter Friday to hit back at claims made by author Michael Wolff in the book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, an explosive new tell-all about the Trump administration. But while Parscale was trying to defend Donald Trump, he ended up throwing two members of Trumps own family under the bus instead.
Jared Kushner and Eric Trump were joint deputy campaign managers whose approval was needed before any decisions were made about the campaigns operations, Parscale said in a tweet.
Nobody else. Not one person made a decision without their approval, he wrote.
Parscales comments imply that Trumps son and son-in-law played a larger role in the campaign than previously thought and thus shoulder more of the responsibility for any potential wrongdoing.

The guy who potentially worked to target with Russian propaganda?

with thinking Trump gave Eric co-responsibility for these decisions. Maybe... They are all dumb after all, especially the head dunce.

Bullshit inferences, misconstruing what bad was saying.

He threw them under the bus--he just didn't realize he was doing it.*
Everything that happened in the campaign was their responsibility. EVERYTHING. That is what he is saying. Do you get it now?
*I refuse to believe that anybody in that "organization" is clever enough or far-sighted enough to try to cover his own or someone else's ass with this.
