Jared Kushner, part of the Trump cabal family administration, issued a statement saying he did not collude with the Russians. He released his prepared remarks. WC will translate that for his readers: Kushner attempted to collude with the Russians and failed. He admitted he met with the Russians, but they didn’t have the dirt on…

As the New York Times notes, for the first time in decades Republican Senators who support Senator Mitch McConnell’s alleged health care bill did not participate in 4th of July parades.
