'Do you think they'll get the president?': Kushner is reportedly worried as the Russia investigation heats up
Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, is said to be increasingly worried about the size and scope of the Russia investigation.
Kushner reportedly asked a friend whether the probe would become big enough to "get the president."
The investigation has expanded to include whether Trump attempted to obstruct justice when he fired James Comey as FBI director and whether Trump had a role in crafting a misleading statement his son Donald Trump Jr. released about a meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer at Trump Tower in June 2016.
Kushner is a central figure in both of those events.

Mueller is zeroing in on Michael Flynn
Special counsel Robert Mueller is looking into Bijan Kian, a former business associate of former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Mueller is primarily interested in gauging what role Kian played in Flynn Intel Group's lobbying activity for a Turkish businessman with ties to Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Flynn has come under scrutiny because of his contacts with Russian officials and his work as a foreign agent, and recent revelations could mean Mueller is eyeing Flynn as his next target.

[Cadzap, some reality there, freaky stuff. 'Hey, gotta impress the boys with my presidential confidentiality weakness!'
Not flattering now that very important people have little trust that Trump is able to keep his moody mouth shut.]
