What did he say this time?

Kushner, Manafort and Trump Jr met a Russian lawyer on the basis of her having dirt on Clinton. 

Add to the pile marked 'dodgy as **** but nothing will change'.

I'm not sure how I resisted the urge to retch my intestines out at that.

It's like Donald's first school trip, recorded by some overbearing and overpaid parents.

Vile.

Can you imagine the Daily Show writers meeting and how pissed off they must be at Trump robbing their material, what a world :D

Trump is beyond satire at times.

The funniest bits of the comedy talk shows are not the jokes made by the hosts but simply the clips they find of Trump's lackeys or Trump himself saying or doing ridiculous things.

It's beyond irony that he bangs on about making America great again, and what he's done is made America a complete joke. 

standing on the shoulders of "giants" in that regard, e.g., Dubya!

Just when you think you've heard it all about this corrupt, venal, self-serving family of crooks, something new pops up.

Not long before a major crisis ripped through the Middle East, pitting the United States and a bloc of Gulf countries against Qatar, Jared Kushner’s real estate company had unsuccessfully sought a critical half-billion-dollar investment from one of the richest and most influential men in the tiny nation, according to three well-placed sources with knowledge of the near transaction.

...Qatar is facing an ongoing blockade led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and joined by Egypt and Bahrain, which President Trump has taken credit for sparking. Kushner, meanwhile, has reportedly played a key behind-the-scenes role in hardening the U.S. posture toward the embattled nation.

That hard line comes in the wake of the previously unreported half-billion-dollar deal that was never consummated. Throughout 2015 and 2016, Jared Kushner and his father, Charles, negotiated directly with a major investor in Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, known as HBJ for short, in an effort to refinance the property on Fifth Avenue, the sources said.

Trump himself has unsuccessfully sought financing in recent years from the Qataris, but it is difficult to overstate just how important the investment at 666 Fifth Avenue is for Kushner, his company, and his family’s legacy in real estate. Without some outside intervention or unforeseen turnaround in the market, the investment could become an embarrassing half-billion-dollar loss. It’s unclear precisely how much peril such a loss would put Jared’s or his family’s finances in, given the opacity of their private holdings...
