“Kushner Companies has a proven track record that continually attracts institutional investors who want to align with us in our investments.”

The headline is from the final paragraph here; an item linking to here.

Aside from displayed real estate acumen, young, bright, handsome Jarad gets dad-in-law's Middle East foreign policy portfolio, or that's the official story which may be changing:

10 months after being given free rein to tackle everything from the federal government’s outdated technology to peace in the Middle East, the do-whatever-you-want stage of Mr. Kushner’s tenure is over.

Mr. Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, who had been in seemingly every meeting and every photograph, has lately disappeared from public view and, according to some colleagues, taken on a more limited role behind the scenes. He is still forging ahead on a plan to end the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, a goal that has eluded presidents and diplomats for generations, and he has been credited with focusing attention on the government’s technological needs. But he is no longer seen as the primary presidential consigliere with the limitless portfolio.

The new White House chief of staff, John F. Kelly, has proved less permissive than his predecessor. A retired four-star general who has imposed more order on a chaotic White House since taking over in July, Mr. Kelly has made clear that Mr. Kushner must fit within a chain of command. “Jared works for me,” he has told associates. According to three advisers to the president, Mr. Kelly has even discussed the possibility of Mr. Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, departing the West Wing by the end of the year.

May there be departures; the more, the merrier. There's a fellow named Pence, . . . where what he knew when he said Flynn-related things still hangs in the balance; one thumb on the balance being Mueller's, with Flynn having taken a plea deal to tell all but with the telling only now being to Mueller team members and not to the pubic.

Not yet.

UPDATE: Putting together time lines for anything is onerous. Luckily, USA Today invested the labor of doing one re Flynn, etc.

At a guess, USA Today faked nothing, i.e., not one thing in that timeline is in error.

FURTHER: Email preserved in a sound chain of custody makes good evidence. Such emails do not misrecollect their content, with time or conveniences. Written words, well kept, can show if anyone lied or is lying.

FURTHER: An admittedly selectively presented time line, intriguing because of the editing, Inquisitr.com, online here. Folks at Inquisitr can post a great image, this from the cited item:
