Mediaboss Marketing

Viewed internally as a SWAT team of strategic consultants, the office will be staffed by former business executives and is designed to infuse fresh thinking into Washington, float above the daily political grind and create a lasting legacy for a president still searching for signature achievements.

Trump is apparently convinced theres only one reasonwhy the Republican health insurance debacle debacd. Its not because there was a group of Republicans who are so entrenched in saying no that they forgot there was another response. Its not because the entire Republican Party has been put in place with the purpose of making government fail (and theyre darn good at it) not writing legislation that can pass.

No, sweet Republican harmony failed to settle over DC because the Great Dealmakers dealmaker chose to spend last week carving slopes in Colorado. Now that Kushner has come in from the cold, Trump will get him to rearrange all the deck chairs in his regime without having to talk to Congress at all.

In a White House riven at times by disorder and competing factions, the innovation office represents an expansion of Kushners already far-reaching influence. The 36-year-old former real estate and media executive will continue to wear many hats, driving foreign and domestic policy as well as decisions on presidential personnel. He also is a shadow diplomat, serving as Trumps lead adviser on relations with China, Mexico, Canada and the Middle East.

This frees up Pence to return to critical appearing on Fox duties, and means that Rex Tillerson can do nothing much at all. Kushers got this.

Only, someone may also have Kusher. Because theres one problem he shares with the rest of Team Trump.

Senate investigators plan to question Jared Kushner, President Trumps son-in-law and a close adviser, as part of their broad inquiry into ties between Trump associates and Russian officials or others linked to the Kremlin, according to administration and congressional officials.

Part of this has to do with that name who was in so many meetings, hes apparently also part of Trumps regime, Russian ambassador SergeiKislyak.

Meetings between Trump associates and Russian officials or others linked to Mr. Putin are now of heightened interest as several congressional committees and F.B.I. investigators try to determine the scope of the Russian intervention in the election and links between Russians and anyone around Mr. Trump.

Maybe one of the assignments of Kushners new SWAT team of business experts could be to organize the line of Trump associates coming in to testify about Russian connections. Just organizing that schedule is going to keep someone busy.
