[quote]Federal investigators are scrutinizing whether any of Jared Kushner's business discussions with foreigners during the presidential transition later shaped White House policies in ways designed to either benefit or retaliate against those he spoke with, according to witnesses and other people familiar with the investigation.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has asked witnesses about Kushner's efforts to secure financing for his family's real estate properties, focusing specifically on his discussions during the transition with individuals from Qatar and Turkey, as well as Russia, China and the United Arab Emirates, according to witnesses who have been interviewed as part of the investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign to sway the 2016 election.
As part of the scrutiny of Kushner's discussions with Turks, federal investigators have reached out to Turkish nationals for information on Kushner through the FBI's legal attache office in Ankara, according to two people familiar with the matter. Separately, Qatari government officials visiting the U.S. in late January and early February considered turning over to Mueller what they believe is evidence of efforts by their country's Persian Gulf neighbors in coordination with Kushner to hurt their country, four people familiar with the matter said. The Qatari officials decided against cooperating with Mueller for now out of fear it would further strain the country's relations with the White House, these people said.[/quote]
Is it just me or is Kushner fkin ded
Yeah he's gonna get a nice no-knock raid.
I think we now know what was worth Gates' charges being dropped in mass... :v:
On the campaign trail, Trump promised to run the country like one of his businesses. Supporters thought this was a good idea. Turns out that meant bringing in his family and having everyone enrich themselves through all the new contacts and opportunities presented by the office while looting the place.
I guess that's how you bankrupt casinos, too.
Get rekd
What the fuck did they think would happen by trying to pull this shit? How did they think they would be able to get away with it?
It's absolutely mind boggling.

What happens when law enforcement does a no knock raid on someone protected by secret service

A very awkward conversation between them?

I'm pretty sure in that case Secret Service will probably be the ones to detain him or will hand him over to the FBI and/or local law enforcement if a warrant for his arrest was issued, but I don't know for sure.
But either way I'm sure that the Secret Service will be notified if the law is after the person they're protecting and won't get in the way when they're arrested because in the best way I can think of putting it, the secret service's loyalty is to the office held by the person they're protecting, not the person him or herself as well as to the law as they are a law enforcement agency.
If it was private bodyguards we were talking about, then yeah there would defiantly be a problem although I doubt most bodyguards would be willing to get into a firefight with police or the FBI.

This happened in 1973 - the FBI raided the White House to seize documents relating to Watergate, although the President was at Camp David at the time. From what I've read, the Secret Service stood down.

[quote]On Friday, April 27, 1973, a dozen armed FBI agents left their headquarters in the Old Post Office building — today a gilded Trump hotel — and marched up Pennsylvania Avenue. Waving their badges, they walked into the White House.
Their orders were to stand guard in the West Wing, wherein lay evidence of high crimes. “They’re going to lock down and secure the business offices, including the president’s,” the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, Jack McDermott, told an astonished Secret Service man.
Caught in the web of Watergate, President Richard M. Nixon returned from Camp David and found a skinny young FBI man standing at attention down the hall from the Oval Office. Screaming in rage, he grabbed the agent by the lapels. “What the hell is this?” he shouted.[/quote]

no knock as in "hey we're the FBI and we're going in there." since they just have to tell the Secret Service to move the president out of the places they intend to go. The Secret Service doesn't exist to protect the president from law enforcement, just protect him. Oh and stop counterfeiting
