Do you think GOP will start Kusher investigation ?

After all Hunter use his father name is wrong. I assume same law applies when someone use White House Advisor position to make money.


Jared Kushner’s money from Saudi Arabia comes into sharper focus (msnbc.com)

The day after leaving the White House, Kushner created a company that he transformed months later into a private equity firm with $2 billion from a sovereign wealth fund chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Kushner’s firm structured those funds in such a way that it did not have to disclose the source, according to previously unreported details of Securities and Exchange Commission forms reviewed by The Washington Post. His business used a commonly employed strategy that allows many equity firms to avoid transparency about funding sources, experts said.

Kushner also reportedly tried to leverage his relationship with other Middle Eastern countries like the United Arab Emirates to secure funds for his firm, but this came with little success.

The largest share of money came from the $620 billion Public Investment Fund led by MBS, who personally overstepped recommendations by a Saudi panel advising him against investing in the firm, the Times reported.

 

Democrats have had 6 years to do it, so no.

 

At least you are honest. I admire that!

 

Thanks, I'm often told I'm an admirable person.

 

I think it needs to be investigated.
At the very least it looks bad. I'm not an expert at the laws regarding this kind of thing, but it seems shady.
If they followed the rules and there is no law against it, then I guess it will fly, but the circumstances surrounding it do not help Kushner's cause.

 

This was after Kushner left the WH.

 

Go after Kushner if you like, no skin off my nose. Did he happen to abandon a laptop in a repair shop that we can reference?

 

Sure what's the harm in looking into the appropriateness of the funding. If he has nothing to hide nothing will come out of it. I think we should be looking way closer at all of our presidents, family, and connections. We seem to have a problem where presidents getting paid a half million ends up with a multi multi million gain because of the position.

 

Why do we assume government agencies aren't looking into him already? Anyone tied to Trump has had every agency under the sun looking into them.

 

No, they won't for fear of retribution from Trump and his associates politically. Jared still has deep connections within the GOP and with some members of the Freedom Caucus.

 

There needs to be reasonable suspicion of governmental wrong doing before congress can investigate anything. Kushner doesn't cut it.

 

They are more likely to start Kushner cover-up.

 

The same reasons that the GOP are going after Hunter Biden can be used to go after Jared Kushner.

 

I doubt that congress has a valid legislative rationale for investigating Hunter Biden. The DOJ probably, but not congress -- GOP, Democrat, or Other. But then the last House lowered the bar something fierce for congressional investigations, so I should probably bone up on the rules.

 

The "legislative rationale," from my understanding, is the "weaponization of the FBI and DOJ," which would include Jared Kushner as well. But then again, the Supreme Court gives broad discretion of what "legislative rationale" actually is and there is no indication SCOTUS is willing to limit that definition any time soon. But as politics goes, the party in control generally does not investigate on of their own, generally speaking.

 

At least he's smart enough to spell his name correctly.

 

All very true, except I don't know about the Kushner -- FBI/DOJ weaponization part.

 

Do you really think this is about the weaponization of the FBI/DOJ? Or something much more sinister? Sinister as in a public opinion trial of Hunter Biden with accusations, innuendo, etc in which to make this like the infamous committee meetings of "suspected communists" from the entertainment and ordinary citizens because of who they knew?

 

Yes, I do think the hearings are about the weaponization of the FBI and the DOJ. Hunter Biden might be a helpful witness if the committee is looking for wrong doings in the FBI and DOJ. If they are actually are looking for a show trial of Hunter, then that would be way out of line.

 

And he used his very own highly successful name.

 

So if Saudis give Kusher $2 billion , Kushner name is very successful. If Ukrainian give $100 million to Hunter, then it is a crime?

 

I don't think that is the case at all. I do think they make mistakes, too many IMO, but mistakes do not mean an intentional direction of the FBI and DOJ to go after one party or the other. They pretty much go where the evidence leads. It is the same type of defense that is used in capital murder trials to try to blame the police or forensic experts as to why their client was arrested in the first place and why the evidence points to that person or persons being charged. It rarely works in the courtroom and OJ Simpson in 1992 or so is the only example I can think of. And they are doing this not for Hunter Biden or anyone else, but as the defense for DJT in an effort to corrode the jury pool in which the Federal DA or the AG cannot charge him. That is the sole purpose of the hearings. That is it.

 

Kushner had never before operated that type of business, in other words, he has absolutely zero experience.

Warning: It ain't pretty.

 

If they investigate this then they'll have to investigate hunter and that isn't going to happen.

 

Yes he was a very experience business person before he was in government and then the experience he gained in the ME during it. Do you understand the difference between "during" and "after leaving"?
