1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.
You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.

Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.

Mason's misinformation was the top news item for two days. Not a bulletin went by on national TV or Radio in which he didn't put in a shift. Today he is NOWHERE to be found, of course.
