In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Senate also is curious.

Senate Democrats Launch Probe Of Foreign Payments To Jared Kushner’s Firm

Senate Finance Committee chair Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) asked Kushner’s firm, Affinity Partners, for details about its investors on Wednesday, including the $2 billion it received from the Saudi Arabian government’s Public Investment Fund in 2021.

“Mr. Kushner’s limited track record as an investor, including his nonexistent experience in private equity or hedge funds, raise questions regarding the investment strategy behind the seeding investments and lucrative compensation that Affinity received from the Saudi PIF and other sovereign wealth funds,” Wyden wrote.

Wyden’s letter represents an escalation of Democratic scrutiny of Kushner’s business activities, which have been controversial from the start. Even House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-Ky.), an aggressive defender of Donald Trump, said last year that he thought Kushner “crossed the line of ethics” with his Saudi deal.

House Democrats don’t have subpoena power because Democrats don’t have a majority in the chamber.

Good day,

It has always been my understanding that Jared and his family, and the Trump family have always ( for decades) had big time (100's of Billions) money in Saudi. I remember learning a bit about this when under Bush the Saudi's were given a major contract for the Patriot missile system.

Saudi continues to be a very good place to move money to when you need to make solid investment with out the red-tape of American investment garbage. Now moving the money back is a problem, and that is why most investor do not do that. They play the long game and the cash game.

This could just be par for the course....

In Him

Methinks the Saudis are going to have some “difficulties” seeing a return of/on their “investments“ here with Jared, too.

If they already got what they actually wanted, it won't matter.
