Jared Kushner was 'remarkably arrogant and dumb' to ignore White House counsel's warning: ex-prosecu

ex-prosecutor

By Travis Gettys

Jared Kushner testified that he dismissed White House counsel Pat Cipollone's concerns over Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his election loss, and a former prosecutor explained why that was a bad move.

The former president's son-in-law told the House select committee that he considered Cipollone's threats to resign to be "whining," and law enforcement veteran Chuck Rosenberg told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that he was astonished by Kushner's attitude toward the situation.

"Mr. Kushner, right at the intersection of remarkably arrogant and remarkably dumb lies his comment," Rosenberg said. "I mean, when a White House counsel, principled, thoughtful White House counsel Pat Cipollone sees five-alarm fires all around him, red flags and threatens to resign, that ain't whining, and anybody with an ounce of common sense and an ounce of respect for the office of the presidency would understand that, and so it is a remarkably dumb and arrogant comment to characterize that as whining. You ought to listen if your White House counsel tells you that you're in trouble."

Rosenberg, who served in the Department of Justice and led the Drug Enforcement Administration, said the House Select Committee had presented compelling evidence at its first public hearing.

Or

And place a period after the word dumb and delete the rest of the sentence.

See? Deleted redundant words and still made this an accurate headline

would apprise of liability, contracts, crimes. How did these people get to where they are, and why don't they seem to recognize things that most functioning Americans know?

So it's no wonder that he airily dismissed Cipollone's concerns; they didn't affect Jared Kushner, so what does he care? Likewise to posit that he has or had an ounce of respect for the office of the presidency is to misread Kushner and what's important to him (see my subject line for an exhaustive list of what is important to Jared Kushner). The office of the presidency was another platform for self-enrichment. Kushner is probably still peeved that he couldn't draw a salary for his position, but he almost certainly made up for that by trading on his position, as was only his due.
