Keith Olbermann Calls for ‘Immediate Arrest of Jared Kushner’
Wednesday on his GQ Magazine web show, liberal commentator Keith Olbermann called for the “immediate arrest” of White House senior adviser Jared Kushner. Referencing a Washington Post report on alleged communications between Kushner and Russians, Olbermann said, “I call for the immediate arrest of Jared Kushner. If he should not be suspected of money laundering, racketeering, and influence peddling, then he should be suspected of obstruction of justice and espionage and possibly worse.

Wednesday on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends,” President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said Republicans could either “get on board” with Trump’s agenda or “lose your next election.” Lewandowski said, “President Trump was elected to change the country. And you can get on board that train or you can lose your next election, because – I can promise you this – the Democrats have a different agenda.” Watch: He added, “It’s my recommendation to those Republicans in Congress to get on board, get the final conclusion done on the repeal and replace of ObamaCare, get the massive tax cut – the largest tax cut in the history of our country – get that done, get the infrastructure done, get the wall built. If you do those things, you will get reelected. If you don’t do those things, it’s because you have failed the American people.” (h/t RCP) Follow Pam Key on Twitter @pamkeyNEN

Boehner: I Did Not Say Trump Is a ‘Disaster’
Wednesday in Colorado Springs, CO at the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers Employee Leadership Forum, former Speaker of the House John Boehner said last week’s media reports that he said Donald Trump’s presidency so far has been “a complete disaster” were not accurate. Boehner said, “Let me address this because some people have gotten carried away in their interpretation of what I said. Listen, Donald Trump is my friend. He was my supporter. I play golf with him and frankly, I like the president. I voted for him. I want him and frankly, I want the country to succeed. But I’ve seen some people write — I think they’ve gotten a little carried away in their interpretation of what I said.” “I did not say that the president’s policies were a disaster,” he continued. “I did not say that the president’s agenda was a disaster. What I was referring to was the execution of the president’s agenda and the president’s policies. And frankly, I think there have been a number of missteps, unforced errors that the president has made and I think the White House would agree that they’ve had their share of mistakes as the president learns to be
