Trump has sent 15 tweets so far today. Keep freezing him out - don’t give him the ping of affirmation he gets and needs from his tweets being quoted or responded to. Instead focus on news, ideas and how unfit he is for office. This will drive him the last mile to crazy.
I think Amy’s onto something. He couldn’t possibly be panic-tweeting could he?
Oh look
CNN Exclusive: Jared Kushner met with special counsel about Flynn
amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/11/29/politics/jared-kushner-special-counsel/index.html
Jared Kushner met earlier this month with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team as part of the investigation into Russia's meddling in the election, according to two people familiar with the meeting.
Mueller's team specifically asked Kushner about former national security advisor Michael Flynn, who is under investigation by the special counsel, two sources said. Flynn was the dominant topic of the conversation, one of the sources said.
"Mr. Kushner has voluntarily cooperated with all relevant inquiries and will continue to do so," Abbe Lowell, Kushner's lawyer, told CNN.
The conversation lasted less than 90 minutes, one person familiar with the meeting said, adding that Mueller's team asked Kushner to clear up some questions he was asked by lawmakers and details that emerged through media reports. One source said the nature of this conversation was principally to make sure Kushner doesn't have information that exonerates Flynn.
The meeting took place around the same time the special counsel asked witnesses about Kushner's role in the firing of former FBI Director James Comey and his relationship with Flynn, these people said.
It's not clear that this is the only time that Kushner will meet with the special counsel's team.
There are growing indications that the special counsel is having discussions with Flynn about a possible plea deal. Flynn's attorney told Trump's legal team last week that he would no longer share information about the investigation.
