Truth: Jared Kushner and @EricTrump were joint deputy campaign managers to @realDonaldTrump. Nobody else. Not one person made a decision without their approval. Others just took credit for this family’s amazing ability. I’m done with all these lies. They will be embarrassed!

Why’s this Rumspringa-dropout dude suddenly popping up on Twitter, again?

Hahaha, either this guy really hates Qusay & Kushner, or he’s really stupid, because comments like this make it still harder for them to claim ignorance RE collusion w Russians. https://t.co/N1g6bTPXN8

Ah… from the San Antonio Current:
Senator Dianne Feinstein has summoned Brad Parscale — web director of San Antonio’s Giles-Parscale design firm — to testify and submit documents to the Senate Judiciary Committee on any interaction he’s had with Russian nationals.
This, of course, has to do with Parscale’s integral role in Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, in which he led the team’s digital media efforts. As the main guy pouring campaign money into the Facebook advertisements and marketing strategies that ushered Trump into the White House, Parscale has inevitably been linked to those in Trump’s camp suspected of letting Russia interfere with the 2016 election.
Parscale, who’s called the Trumps “family,” has previously denied any corroboration with Russia in regards to his campaign work…
Sen. Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee has also requested an interview with Dan Scavino, the Trump campaign’s social media director. Her Wednesday letter to Parscale was addressed to his San Antonio company, Giles-Parscale Inc., a company co-owned by Jill Giles that received a hefty $93 million for its work on the successful Trump campaign.
However, the local design firm, known for providing interior design and branding to the Pearl’s top residents (Hotel Emma, Supper, Local Coffee, Larder, and the Can Plant, to name a few), has tried its best to sever itself from the Trump brand.
That may be why Parscale moved the political arm of Giles-Parscale to Florida in June — leaving the more corporate and commercial efforts in San Antonio. Especially because, according to several reports, Parscale is already actively involved in Trump’s re-election campaign planning….
And here I’d more or less assumed Parscale was just in it for the grift, like all the other Trump satellites…
… Kushner was Parscale’s “patron,” according to a person familiar with the campaign’s inner workings, which could explain their closeness.
Kushner got Parscale hired, the person said, “despite the fact that a number of people in the campaign wondered whether he had any idea what he was doing.”
