    Default Kushner: Not your typical extortionist grifter...or is he?

    One view of a recent line of inquiry into the international dealings of Jared Kushner while working for the White House (in some vague capacity or other):
    There is, though, ongoing congressional review of the Trump administration. Last night the chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, Ron Wyden (D-OR), and the chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), wrote to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III, asking for information in their “ongoing investigations into whether former Senior White House Adviser Jared Kushner’s financial conflicts of interest may have led him to improperly influence U.S. tax, trade, and national security policies for his own financial gain.”

    The letter outlines the timing of the 2018 financial bailout of the badly leveraged Kushner property at 666 Fifth Avenue (now known as 660 Fifth Avenue) with more than $1 billion paid in advance from Qatar. Qatar had repeatedly refused to invest in the property, but after Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates imposed a blockade on Qatar—after Kushner discussed isolating Qatar with them without informing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson—Qatar suddenly threw in the necessary cash. Shortly after that, the Saudi and UAE governments lifted the blockade, with Kushner taking credit for brokering the agreement.
    Gross.

    I read that. Why aren’t the Republicans as concerned as they are over the Biden’s? Inquiring minds want to know…😂😂

    Well, Kushner is no longer on the White House roster, so he is a little less relevant, and Trump is (temporarily?) gone. And then of course each team is biased in defense of its players.

    A better question is why you guys aren't concerned about Hunter's millions and 10% to the big guy. There's actual evidence of that, as opposed to HCR's crazy speculation and rambling.

    I wonder if in that pic on Kushner 's book cover he is closing the Qatar deal. Or maybe just checking in with the boss (Ivanka).

    Kushner is definitely not your typical extortionist grifter. Like his father inlaw, he is clever enough to survive the scrutiny of the entire U.S. government. How many investigations have we seen so far, turning up nothing?

    The typical extortionist grifter is better represented by the should-have-been-aborted Hunter Biden. A low-life drug-addict, parading around the world trading on his daddy's position as VP; with the FBI, Secret Service and Liberal Pravda covering up his obvious crimes.

    You gotta be a special kind of stupid to drink the blue kook-aide.

    So now we know the source of the blue kool aide. Explains a lot.

    Cheaters never win. For some, it may appear they are winning, but then for some money is winning. For others, they aspire to a higher calling. If you consider the great people in history, those that others want to be like, or tell their children about, it is rarely wealthy or powerful people. Abraham Lincoln saw naked female slaves being sold as sex slaves in New Orleans while working on flat boat for his employer and it horrified him. The result was the emancipation of millions when he had the power to do something. Others got involved in slavery. Not all fit into these extremes, but in some way, we let others know our value system by what comes out of our mouths and by our actions.

    How many will hold up Trump or Kushner to their children or grandchildren as someone to be like?
