President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser believes the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election have been have had “a much harsher impact on our democracy” than the meddling itself.

NEW YORK — Jared Kushner on Tuesday said he believes the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election have been “way more harmful to our democracy” than the interference itself.

Russia did more than buy a “couple Facebook ads,” U.S. investigators have determined. Last year, the U.S. Department of Justice charged 13 Russians and three Russian entities for allegedly carrying out an elaborate plot to interfere in the 2016 election. The Russian operatives allegedly used fake social media accounts, created false advertisements and even traveled to the United States in an effort to support Trump’s White House bid — and to disparage his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.

"All these people thought Trump was gonna lose. They all predicted Trump was gonna lose. They were wrong," Kushner said."The American electorate in this great democratic system chose the opposite. And I think that instead of saying, ‘Oh wait, we got it wrong,’ they said, ‘Well, maybe it was Russia.’ And I think we’ve spent two years going through that nonsense."

“Lindsey Graham told me I had the best text message in the history of text messages when I was in that crazy Trump Tower meeting and I said ‘get me the hell out of here’ basically,” Kushner said. “It’s a meeting that if it hadn’t come up, I would’ve never thought about it again.”

Mueller report: Russians charged with disrupting 2016 election sought help, retweets from team TrumpWATCH: Jared Kushner shares his view that investigations of Russian election influence in the past 2 years have had much harsher impact on democracy 'than a couple Facebook ads' from the Russians. Is he “transitioning” 😎 Agreed. Networks like msnbc has been pushing the fake narrative that DT cheated to win in 2016. That was a hoax Mueller found nothing to support that. Like most press, they let him continue the, at best, incomplete truth and in reality the lies. A real interview would have had him crying and running off the stage. He is part of the weak and embarrassing Trump regime.
