This is an important point and one way we should use this VF article. Even if the most damning part -- the bank accounts -- is not true, we do know Kushner is a literal agent (financial advisor) to the Saudis and UAE. How the hell is he running negotiations?

5. The instinct that lets you look the other way and/or encourage putting Kushner in charge of Middle East negotiations is the same that puts Betancourt in the middle of the theft of Venezuelan oil. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

This was always going to happen. My guess is that Trump will issue a blanket pardon for every political appointee. Signaling a move like this will embolden his underlings to disregard and break the law. And that's the point.
