Jared Kushner failed to disclose dozens of contacts with foreign leaders and officials in recent months when he sought top-secret clearance in his father-in-law’s White House.

His lawyer, Jamie Gorelick, said the questionnaire was submitted prematurely, on Jan. 18, and Kushner’s office notified the FBI the following day that he would provide additional information to the form, reported the New York Times.

“During the presidential campaign and transition period, I served as a point-of-contact for foreign officials trying to reach the president-elect” Kushner told the FBI, according to Gorelick. “I had numerous contacts with foreign officials in this capacity (and) I would be happy to provide additional information about these contacts.”

Gorelick said her client omitted those contacts — including meetings with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Russian banker Sergey Gorkov, a graduate of the Kremlin’s spy school.

1. Failed or lied? Anyone else would loose their clearance for this..

[spanone]

2. K&R...

[roscoeroscoe]

3. That process is pretty strict

'Under penalty of perjury'

[George II]

4. But trump said no one in his campaign had any contact with Russia, EVER!

[Recursion]

5. FFS. Honestly I wouldn't think the contacts were suspicious if they didn't lie about them

I mean, seriously: "incoming National Security Advisor meets with Russian ambassador" is itself not at all remarkable. "Incoming National Security Advisor and multiple other campaign and administration personnel meet with Russian Ambassador and then lie about it" is shady AF.

13. Exactly.

and why all the push back against ANY type of investigation into this matter?

You'd think an innocent party would welcome the opportunity to clear their name of any wrong doing.

Susan Rice does f.i.

[Grins]

6. Jamie Gorelick?

His attorney is Jamie Gorelick? Seriously? Jamie Gorelick, former Deputy Attorney General under Bill Clinton....?

Bwahahahahahahahahha!

[mr_liberal]

7. He's a Democrat so no wonder. nm

[Aviation Pro]

8. Wait until he takes his poly...

....he might break the thing.

9. Unfortunately

The security clearance system is mandated and exists only by executive order. Trump could ensure all of his fellow Russian agents receive TS clearances just by making a change to EO 12968. Think about the ramifications of that for a moment.

10. Those omissions were deliberate, obviously.

What will come of it is unclear.

[certainot]

17. they're republican so nothing will come of it

[Javaman]

11. the bigger question is:

who, in tRumps admin, hasn't had contact with the ruskies prior to the election?

[delisen]

12. Jaime was under consideration for FBI director by Obama

[Doreen]

14. Apply? He never applied.

Daddy in law just handed it to him. The entire flippin cabinet failed to disclose Jared's contacts.

[DK504]

15. Did he forget to answer the question?

"His lawyer, Jamie Gorelick, said the questionnaire was submitted prematurely, on Jan. 18, and Kushner’s office notified the FBI the following day that he would provide additional information to the form, reported the New York Times. "

Little boy Jared didn't understand the fucking question? It's pretty damn simple, dude; Have you had close or any contacts with Russia?? What fucking part of this don't you get little sniveling boy blue?

He must have his clearance yanked immediately. Enough already.

They just excecuted another massive mission failure, did Jared have a hand in this fuck fest? This is a subject that will never go away becasue they are to many crimes committed.

16. Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak , thats the one Sessions, Flynn et all of them lied about meeting
