Soft Sexual Assault

I guess a “soft invasion” is like a “soft sexual assault”, or “soft intimidation”, something that seems familiar to elements of the next administration.

As an aside, I see that Matt Gaetz will not be the next A-G, but that Charles Kushner will be the ambassador to France.

Chris Christie, who led the case as the US attorney for New Jersey, said in 2019 that Kushner committed “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes” he had prosecuted.

Kushner, who was under investigation at the time for making illegal campaign contributions, targeted his brother-in-law, William Schulder, a former employee turned witness for federal prosecutors in their case against the Democratic donor. As part of the plot, Kushner hired a prostitute to lure Schulder into having sex in a motel as a hidden camera rolled. A tape of the encounter was then sent to Kushner’s sister and Schulder’s wife. Ultimately, the intimidation stunt failed, and the woman turned on Kushner.

Kushner pleaded guilty in 2005 to 16 counts of tax evasion, one count of retaliating against a federal witness and another count of lying to the Federal Election Commission. He was sentenced to two years in prison.

A Hollywood script writer would have been fired if they pitched a script as bad as this.
