Al Franken Tries Not To Laugh When Asked If He Believes Jared Kushner’s Russia Lies

By Sean Colarossi on Sat, Jul 29th, 2017 at 12:59 pm


In an interview on MSNBC, Franken was asked if he took Kushner at his word. His simple response: “No.”

Video @ link:

Franken laughed and said:

“No. He has had to refile his disclosure form a number of times. I’ve written a letter asking for at least to suspend his security clearance. … This may come down to what did the president know and when did his son in law tell him?”

The Democratic senator said he trusts Special Counsel Robert Mueller to answer those questions and get to the bottom of whether Kushner is telling the truth.

“We have this guy Bob Mueller, and he is going to find that out,” Franken said. “What happens very often is that people commit crimes along the way, either in the cover up or had before, and they plea bargain. And part of that is you get information out.”

Franken’s comments come after a week in which Kushner made a rare public appearance talking down his and his father-in-law’s ties to Russia.

1. Watched the interview live

It was truly great.

[Pachamama]

2. Agree..

I also think that the last statement about "plea bargaining" is either a statement that he knows people have been negotiating and giving information (hello Manafort and Flynn) or he is suggesting that some will and should (hello Pence, Kushner, Priebus...)

3. Franken was working really hard not to laugh at the lies....

He knows crimes have been committed and he knows Kushner knows....

6. Yep

4. I love the Al's, Franken and Gore.

Both are smart and honest, they aren't owned by Russia.

9. would love to see this, but...

he has stated repeatedly that he isn't interested.

10. That disclaimer is to be expected at this stage

He needs to get re-elected in 2018
