Jared Kushner appears to be doing everything he can to dispel rumors that he’s the “Mar-a-Lago” mole who ratted out Donald Trump to the FBI, resulting in the agency searching the ex-president’s Palm Beach, Florida resort earlier this month.
In an appearance on Fox News over the weekend, Kushner told anchor Mark Levin that the raid, which he called an “unfortunate turn of events”, was yet another example of Trump’s “enemies” persecuting him.

“President Trump is a fighter,” Kushner, whose new book Breaking History: A White House Memoir, which is being panned by critics, hits bookstore shelves tomorrow, said. “He’s always been a fighter.”
How about we take this to the next level?

“In the way that he drives his enemies so crazy, they always over pursue him and make mistakes in trying to get him. That’s basically what happened here.”
Multiple sources close to Trump told The Guardian last week that after the FBI searched his home, aides began frantically speculating about who among them was in cahoots with the agency.
They quickly determined the person had to be close–very close–to the ex-president given what agents already knew when they showed up at the front door, including where his safe was located and to look for a specific leather-bound box.

Shortly after the raid, Mary Trump publicly speculated that Kushner was the confidential informant in an appearance on the podcast The Dean Obeidallah Show.
“We need to look very hard at why Jared got $2 billion,” she said, referring to an investment into Kushner’s private equity firm from a fund belonging to the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman. “We need to look very hard at why he has been so quiet for so many months now.”
She continued, “And we need to think about who could also be implicated in this that would need as big a play as turning Donald in in order to get out of trouble, or at least to mitigate the trouble they’re in.”
“It sounds like somebody in Jared’s position. I’m not saying it’s Jared, but it could be.”

Speaking to Levin, Jared also tried to dispel reports that there is tension between himself and his father-in-law, claiming they just played golf together “a few days ago” before going to to say that leakers are making up “fabulous claims” about his family.
Kushner also took to Twitter to suck up to his father-in-law, tweeting: “Working for @realdonaldtrump was the honor of a lifetime,” along with a photo of the two together on an airplane.

Am I the ONLY one who finds the timing of this post a little weird?… Kushner definitely saw the stories about how he might be the “leaker”… and now he randomly posts his devotion to trump?… just saying… the timing is… odd :/

Yeah I’ve always pictured Failure 45’s private relationship to Kushner to be the same as with the rest of his cabinet: all gumdrops and rainbows.
Not. Especially considering they were always a hair’s breadth away from being sh|tcanned.

My guess it was one of the kids – most likely Ivanka or Barron.

I think it could be Tiffany turning him in to become the biggest trump of them all.

The fact Jared felt necessary to come out from under his rock is because he is indeed the mole.
There is no good or reasonable excuse for Trump taking those documents. It’s like he is just doing everything he can to dare us to put him in jail. I think we should oblige him.

Jared got himself a PR person and he’s making the rounds. Won’t work. Everybody knows he’s the mole. Everybody, even Dumpty and he’s usually too far up his own ass to know anything substantive.

Jared is trying to sell his rancid book, don’t forget, which is why he’s making the rounds. The book has been harshly reviewed so far, apparently coming off like it was written by a “mannikin” or a robot, but he’s also trying to cover his @ss so that Don the Con doesn’t sicc his fascist cult shock troops on him. I doubt Melania has it in her but it would be particularly appropriate if she were the one who snitched in order to help sink that dirigible of treason she’s married to in order to avoid having to fake being a presidential candidate’s wife or First Lady ever again!

MSNBC’s Ari Melber had a great show today comparing Trump to the devil in the movie Devils Advocate showing the devil always had people do his dirty work while keeping his hands clean with vanity being his greatest treasure. The author of the book was also interviewed. The comparisons were surprisingly right on. Trump’s no savior as his minions believe. He’s actually the anti Christ.
