Judd Legum and Rebecca Crosby make a good point about investigating #JaredKushner.

In Kushner's second-term foreign-policy work, either he's been a govt employee or a "volunteer" (as he likes to claim).

If he was a govt employee, then he apparently violated the foreign emoluments clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 9, Clause 8): "No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument…of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

If he was a volunteer, then he has no immunity against a Congressional subpoena. (And btw, most govt employees don't have immunity either.)

@petersuber keep in mind that not all government employees hold such an office.

Keep in mind, also, that just because something is written into the Constitution doesn't mean there is a legal channel to execute it.

This is not the winning play that some people think it is.
