E&Y gave him an honor….WTF? Disbarred felon. Does France even allow Felons in? CNN shame on you for leaving out the felon part till the last sentence when it should have been the lede.
Wasn’t he in federal prison and was pardoned?
I guess NOTHING disqualifies you from being in the Trump Cabinet. Next he’s going to create the Department of Truth and put Alex Jones in charge.
Incoming WH administration will be a mob operation. Describing Trump & criminals he's hiring as anything less than a mob is journalism malpractice. Avoiding FBI scrutiny. Purpose obvious: corruption, chaos, connection to Russia & power. Mob of corrupt ultra rich white guys terrorizing America.
Absolutely disgusting! The white collar felons are turning our country into a mob country. Nepotism and cronyism on steroids but Kamala was too “elite” and “unqualified” for working folks. 😡😡😡
So shall the government turn into a family business like we see in the Arab Emirates instead of a country relying on Democracy, Liberty and Popular Sovereignity?
Completly corrupt government. What once was the envy of the world, now looks like something like Russia's government. Including the Donalds own propaganda platform 'Truth S'
He knows he can't run again, and he's bambuzzled the entire Magat party, so YEAH, he's taking all the advantage those dumb fucks gave him! Yeah, he's gonna clean house allright! When they get hungry, they can starve too.
I suspect Trump doesn't respect France so this is a bit of an insult. Not sure Mr. Kushner feels it's an insult, he'll get a nice mansion to live in and throw expensive parties. Being an ambassador to France is just a sweet gig with no problems, not like being an Ambassador to Nigeria.
Presidential pardons do not erase a criminal record. They do, however, restore certain rights that a normal ex-con would not regain, like being able to hold a public office.
As for France barring convicts from entering the country, I assume diplomatic immunity would apply, but that's just a guess.
What made this country great before was Presidents picking the most qualified people for important positions. So let’s see how he will make America great this way?
I have no doubt he got his in return, but none of the magats in the house or senate will do anything about it cause they might be implecated as they are likely involved too!
What an insult to France. This Kushner guy is a jail bird, prosecuted by Chris Cristie, and then pardoned by the tRUMP at the end of his 1st term! The Kushner clan sure hitched their wagon to the right scamming crew!
This the same #charleskushner who worked out a plea deal on charges of illegal campaign contributions, witness tampering and tax evasion, and who is one of the biggest slumlords in #Baltimore
How in hell is someone with this record a fucking diplomat?
6 months in, half of these miscreants will be gone. The rest of the appointees won't last 2 years. America is becoming a third world country with a first world military.
You mean the ex-con who was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, which he served in the Federal Prison?
What a great way to fk off the french who still have their own nuclear arsenal.. Not suggesting they would go to war with the usa more they are not in a choke hold like we are when it comes to their own defence.
Donald Trumps Dogs, female friend daughters male friend also got a position in the US veterinary Department following the lay off of Sr Research Vetrerarian with 40 years experience as the researcher is working for 200K per year but the doggy works for only 500k and will serve better.
Five Eyes, France, Germany, Japan and others will act independent of tRumps madness. He wants eyes and ears in each in case they say something bad about him. If America has ever produced a bigger asshole, I can't think of one
If you want any viewers/readers to ever return to CNN you really need to start writing accurate headlines for your crime-washing articles. He is a convicted felon! That should be in fing headline!!!

I think a pardon is a forgiveness for a crime, it doesn't remove it
Lovely bunch of people ay
I wouldn't let them in my house let alone run my country, thank God I'm not American lol

At least we know that the French know it’s the Trump administration and not fully representative of all US citizens
They were warned.
How in hell is someone with this record a fucking diplomat?
Laughing out loud
Will France even let him in. Another stupid choice by trump.
BAN HIM FROM ENTERING EUROPE
Extremely elegant.
