From the NY Times' March 13 article by Rob Copeland and Maureen Farrell, that got Democrats riled up enough to demand answers:
"Mr. Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has spoken with potential investors in recent weeks about raising $5 billion or more for Affinity Partners, his investment firm, according to five people with knowledge of the talks who were not permitted to speak publicly about the discussions.
"As part of the fund-raising effort, Affinity’s representatives have already met with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which invests the proceeds of the kingdom’s vast oil reserves, two of the people briefed on the discussions said. PIF is led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has formed close ties with Mr. Kushner and the Trump administration. [.....]
"Only a few weeks ago, in his role as Mr. Trump’s “peace envoy,” Mr. Kushner met in Geneva with Iran’s foreign minister. The U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign in Iran began shortly after those meetings concluded without a deal on Iran’s nuclear program."
And there's more:
"In January, Mr. Kushner traveled to Davos, Switzerland, as part of the official U.S. delegation at the World Economic Forum, where he unveiled the Trump administration’s plan for a “New Gaza.”
"While at Davos, Kushner also discussed his plans to raise billions in new investments for Affinity in private meetings with international business leaders, two people with knowledge of the conversations said."
"Mr. Trump has said publicly that Mr. Kushner, whom he calls a “peace envoy,” advised him that the United States would be attacked if it did not pre-emptively strike Iran."
Kushner has "no official role" in the White House. His company statement said he is "volunteering."
For what nation? Iran is a rival of Saudi Arabia, where Kushner is soliciting funds from Prince Bonesaw.
These people are *psychopaths*, and, as such, need to be *properly* Baptised in order to be fully cured from their affliction.
Admit bad. Pay X penalty after 10x shenanigans.
(Math says 10x - 1x = 9x)
I could suck it up and manage...
Does this perhaps cross the line from "conflict of interest" to official corruption?
The corruption is the point.
The line was crossed so long ago that it can’t be seen in the rear view mirror.
likely. but even so, what difference does that make? what consequences will there be? none.
*Shocked Pickachu face*
