One of the weirder aspects of the past 48 hours of Trump madness is the fact that Jared Kushner hasn't found himself at the center of this Donald Trump Jr.–Russian lawyer storm despite attending the meeting that Trump Jr. described as occurring "under the pretext" of receiving damaging information about Hillary Clinton. This might be because he could have been the one who leaked the existence of the meeting, or maybe it's just because the idiocy of Junior is so astounding that it's hard to focus on anything else.

Regardless of the cause, Kushner's time out of the spotlight appears to be coming to an end. According to McClatchy DC, investigators are turning their attention to the Trump campaign's digital operation, which was led by Kushner, and some suspect that he may have coordinated with Russia to help unleash the campaign of fake news targeted at swing states.

Russia’s operation used computer commands knowns as “bots” to collect and dramatically heighten the reach of negative or fabricated news about Clinton, including a story in the final days of the campaign accusing her of running a pedophile ring at a Washington pizzeria. One source familiar with Justice's criminal probe said investigators doubt Russian operatives controlling the so-called robotic cyber commands that fetched and distributed fake news stories could have independently "known where to specifically target … to which high-impact states and districts in those states."

This is one of those a-ha observations that, once you hear it, is hard to get out of your head. After all, this Russian attack was HIGHLY targeted (even down to precinct level), but how would the Russians know which vulnerable precincts to attack without some help? Now, could there be other explanations? Sure. Of course. But in light of the fact that we now know that the Trump campaign was certainly open to working with the Russian government, it doesn't seem so crazy that it would apply here as well. After all, Kushner conveniently didn't disclose multiple meetings with Russian officials on his security-clearance form. But maybe that's just another coincidence.
