Kushner's web of business interests make him an easy target for foreign influence.

He's also an easy target for rich Americans, whose influence is even more dangerous. The days when rich and non-rich people had a common interest, what you might call a "national" interest, are far behind us.

The US immigration thugs are now rampaging against refugees from Vietnam, imprisoning them for deportation even though, by treaty, the US cannot deport them.

Isolation for 23 hours a day is brainwashing treatment, and unacceptable for more than a short period even for criminals serving prison sentences. It is certainly not acceptable to treat people that way who are merely awaiting deportation.

Holding these people far away from their families, and stopping them from touching their families, are also inexcusable.

It appears that Rep. Nunes in the House Intelligence Committee leaked communications of the Senate Intelligence Committee to cause trouble for it.

Russian trolls supported pipeline protests, as well as fossil fuel advocates. SCROTUS want to hold this against the former but not against the latter.
