It was supposed to be a triumphant year for  White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner . Part of the team that guided his father-in-law to victory in 2016   the young Kushner  was catapulted into the highest echelons of power.
 He  was handed a broad portfolio that included making peace in the Middle East and was reportedly a key part of Trumpâs inner circle and decision-making team. But as 2017 dragged on  the man known as Mr. Perfect had anything but a perfect year.
Here are  Kushner âs worst moments from 2017:
When  Kushner  visited Iraq in April  he obviously did not want to abandon his dedication to preppy style. But the image of the senior adviser sporting a flak jacket (with âKushnerâ scrawled on it)  along with a blazer and khakis  brought on a torrent of mockery.

Although  Kushner  stepped down as head of Kushner Companies in January   his  real-estate firm gave  him  a number of headaches throughout 2017. Perhaps the biggest one was its use of the EB-5 visa program  which allows wealthy investors to gain visas in return for investing in the U.S.
Jared and Ivanka are reported to be scaling back their roles in the White House after officials have become annoyed by their presence. The move came shortly after Trumpâs decision to back Sen. Luther Strange in the Alabama Senate primary backfired spectacularly and Strange was crushed by conservative challenger Judge Roy Moore.  Kushner  was widely believed to have been a key voice in urging Trump to get involved in the race and back Strangeâa decision Trump himself admitted may have been a âmistake.â
 Kushner  was also widely reported to be a key official encouraging President Trump to fire FBI Director James Comeyâa move which has since turned out to be seen as a mistake as it directly led to the appointment of FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller  whose probe has dogged the Trump administration throughout 2017.
FBI Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs appointment was announced in the wake of the firing of FBI Director James Comeyâa decision reportedly backed by  Kushner . But as the probe has gone on   Kushner  has apparently become a key figure for Mueller.
 Kushner  was part of a 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer at Trump Towerâa meeting which Trump Jr. said he took as it promised information that would âincriminateâ Hillary Clinton.
 Kushner  was questioned by Muellerâs team in November  during which  he  reportedly answered questions about a meeting with the Russian ambassador during the transition. It later emerged that  Kushner  was the âsenior Trump officialâ who directed former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to contact the ambassador about a U.N. vote on Israeli settlements.
While it is not clear if the Mueller team believes  Kushner  did anything wrong  Muellerâs interest in him has no doubt led to a tough 2017 for  Kushner .
 Kushner  spent much of 2017 aggravating congressional lawmakers with  his  lack of disclosure about  his  foreign contacts and other information deemed importantâparticularly over various investigations into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Two Senate committees have complained about  his  failure to hand over certain documents  and that they have learned certain details from the media. Lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee were angered in September when they discovered from media reports that  Kushner  used a private email account occasionally for White House business.
Lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee wrote to  Kushner âs lawyer in November  saying the document collection he provided to the committee was incomplete.
Newsweek reported in December that  Kushner  is still using an interim security clearance after  he  initially omitted dozens of foreign contracts from  his  original form submission for clearance.

Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . 
In no particular order , Texas senator and Republican presidential aspirant Ted Cruz has : said acts of Christian terrorism stopped centuries ago , forgetting the Ku Klux Klan and the shooting in Colorado last week ; claimed he has never met an anti-abortion activist who advocates violence , despite being endorsed by one just days before ; dismissed the need for Planned Parenthood because there is n't a shortage of "rubbers" in America ; and made an offhand comment that Colorado mass shooter Robert Dear could be a "transgendered leftist activist ." 
It even worked in Houston , a city in a state Ted Cruz is from . 
It 's typical Cruz : both self-aggrandizing and distant from the truth , with a little temporizing statement -LRB- "to some extent" -RRB- that rescues the self-aggrandizing part from being an outright lie . 
It shifts the conversation to candidate Ted Cruz . 
It distracts from conservatism 's violent rhetoric against Planned Parenthood and forces the fact-check process to address Cruz 's accusation . 
Ted Cruz is too smart not to know that replacing all of Planned Parenthood 's services with "rubbers" is objectively stupid . 
Ted Cruz is far from crazy , which is the essential Ted Cruz problem . 
And , sure , this sort of discussion might constitute playing the game of interpretation , but if Cruz would condemn Politifact for not engaging in the practice , he can hardly fault others for taking his exhortation seriously . 
But Ted Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . 
Cruz is being interpretively nasty in part because of who he is , but also because fictionalizing America 's crisis moments is dramatically successful . 
As the Ted Cruz phenomenon glides on , without a change in tone or a moment of hesitancy , it 's easy to think of an old expression pro-wrestling expression : "Live the gimmick , brother ." 
Ted Cruz does awful things by intelligent design . 
On the other hand , it 's hard to believe that Cruz would seriously consider the breaking-news reporting of someone widely referred to as "The Dumbest Man on the Internet ." 
Ted Cruz is n't any different , and buying his line that he 's uniquely earned "Democrats '" label of crazy not only obscures the work , it 's part of it . 
Ted Cruz knows that , for all his erudition , he 's still an intellectual one-percenter in a party that rejects elites and revels in combative anti-knowledge . 
Reading his book is like watching him put his mask on in the morning : the pages wear on , and the incisive first half gets quieter , as the volume on the demagoguing second half gets louder , until there he is -- Ted Cruz , brother -- and the arena goes nuts . 
Even if he is not always likable , Young Ted Cruz is an interesting person . 
Cruz has mastered the useful gaffe . 
But once you get about halfway through the book -- to national events that were part of your own memory , where you could pen the story yourself , where you are no longer reading memories so far outside the fact checker 's reach that you have to take Cruz 's word for it -- suddenly you realize that what makes Ted Cruz 's book so exceptional is what makes him exceptionally nasty . 
For one thing , there is no plausible excuse for someone who graduated cum laude from Princeton , went to Harvard Law and clerked on the Supreme Court not doing the reading , but the Cruz argument , whatever it is , coasts through an environment in which there is no data to challenge it . 
For instance , despite being a 340-page work , the book possesses only 66 end notes , the plurality of which are dedicated to citing quotes from famous conservatives or noteworthy persons Cruz expects resonate with a right-wing audience . 
But it stands out when someone like Cruz inveighs against Obamacare -- his senatorial career 's Moby-Dick -- and only comes up with ham-handed anecdotes about meeting struggling Americans in the heartland . 
During Tuesday 's primary , candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz had a bitter Twitter exchange . 
Cruz also has a favorite line he likes to use , which appears on the stump and in his book . 
Naturally , Cruz ignores that premiums rose before Obamacare , that insurance companies Chicken Little all the time about rate hikes before rolling them back , and that part of the rise relates to people who are actually sick being able to get medical care that insurance companies actually have to pay for now . 
On that last point , for a litigator , Cruz seems really allergic to using a wonderful legal word like "rescission ," which is too bad , because it explains rate hikes and changing plans . 
But mentioning that would spoil the image of poor insurance companies that Cruz suggests were "lured into bed with Obamacare" via the Leninist thinking that "the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them ." 
She hugs Cruz and says , "I 'm a single mom ... I 've got six kids at home , and I 'm working five jobs . 
Cruz describes the Bush 2000 campaign as reeling from John McCain 's win in New Hampshire and needing to refocus . 
Luckily , Cruz notes , the Bush campaign could run to the right of McCain on tort and campaign finance reform , two issues that get the people to the polls in droves ! 
As it happens , those were two issues that Ted Cruz briefed George W. Bush on , while touring the state with him , which Bush later won . 
But if you want the Ted Cruz experience in a pinch , take his condemnation of biased journalism . 
Ted Cruz 's book , A Time for Truth , is , by comparison , almost delightful . 
Never mind that the rest of the speech , like most Cruz speeches , might have been recycled and already fact checked . 
Never mind that newspapers are limited by space and that Fisking an average Cruz speech requires a ream of paper . 
Given that , please never mind that the fact that has Ted Cruz in high dudgeon was about the game Space Invaders . 
Moreover , Politifact evidently shamelessly editorialized when they fact-checked Cruz -LRB- and every conservative 's -RRB- assertion that Obama kicked off his presidency by going on "a worldwide apology tour ." 
Then , before confronting the issue , Cruz concedes , "It 's true that he did n't explicitly add the words ` And I 'm sorry . '" 
So the new front in the liberal propaganda war is a fact check website that checked facts Cruz admits are not literally true without any poetical ear for interpretation . 
Busting Ted Cruz for selective narrative and hanging massive public policy decisions on anecdotal evidence -LRB- the most reliable kind ! -RRB- 
You have to deal with Ted Cruz differently because he demands it , because his endless invocation of his scholarship and the sharp , nimble way he chooses to tell his own story signals that this is how deftly his brain operates . 
So when a Ted Cruz spokesman later walks back the candidate 's comment that Robert Dear might have been a "transgendered leftist activist" by insisting that the candidate was just commenting on the lack of available information , you have to take it with a huge grain of salt . 
Yes , the full context of Cruz 's statement is more openly speculative : .

Former President George W. Bush has been widely praised for yesterday 's speech at the Dallas police memorial and especially for a quote which has been widely shared on social media . 
Many people on Twitter found themselves almost shocked that they were so impressed by Mr Bush . 
Michael Beckman , who described himself as a ` Jewish conservative Republican ' tweeted : ` President George W. Bush gave a beautiful speech today . 
Many people searched the internet to see if Mr Bush had plagiarized it from another source . 
Former President George W Bush speaks at Dallas memorial . 
Houston radio host Matt Patrick tweeted today : ` Loved George W. Bush 's speech yesterday ! 
Time magazine published Bush 's entire speech but it was that particular passage which was seen by many Americans as a touchstone for their feelings . 
Twitter user Jacob Boos claimed Bush 's speech was better than Obama 's and added : ` Then again probably not he has an agenda to push . ' 
But most thought that whoever had written his speech deserved great credit , as did Bush himself , for delivering it with warmth and sincerity . 
Mr Bush said : ` These slain officers were "the best among us" .
