Jared Kushner Under Investigation

House Panel Examining Jared Kushner Over Saudi Investment in New Firm

A House committee said on Thursday that it was investigating whether Jared Kushner, former President Donald J. Trump’s son-in-law and former adviser, traded on his government position to land a $2 billion investment in his new private equity firm from a prominent Saudi Arabian wealth fund.

Innocent until proven guilty (except for Hillary and Hunter). I'm sure it is all on the up and up. [/s]

Sounds like business as usual

 

[rambot]

Again? Oh that little scamp!

 

[FireDragon76]

Long overdue.

 

[A_JAY]

Say it ain't so!

Say it ain't so!

Well, it is only the House, but if they turn up anything worthwhile, they may pass the info on to AG Merrick Garland.

Given he was in the Trump Administration, making $$ on the side using the government job was encouraged.

Where have I heard that one before?

Oh yeah, hunterbidencough

 

[JustOneWay]

The scale drops heavily on the right side. Hunter Biden.... LOL Not even comparable to a sitting Presidential Advisor.

Hunter Biden was never in the government. Jared Kushner - and his wife - was. Can you spot the difference?

There's still quite obviously a double standard.

 

[Blade]

a ok sure why not

Yes, indeedy! One one hand we have nepotism and self-dealing in the White House and on the other we have a shady boy trying to capitalize on his daddy's name. Which one is criminal?

 

[friend of]

Which one is criminal?

The one smoking crack, presumably.

 

[DaisyDay]

Smoking crack is illegal. Self-dealing by a government official is criminal.

Right. Just like Hunter Biden's stint with Burisma of Ukraine.

No, Hunter Biden has never been a government official - that would be Jared Kushner and his wife, Ivanka.

Biden has always been a private citizen and Burisma is a private, not government owned, company. Jared and Ivanka made deals for themselves while in the government.

But that's how Hunter got the job. His daddy pulled strings.

And doing illegal things, like smoking crack, makes you a criminal.

(Google) A criminal is someone who breaks the law. If you're a murderer, thief, or tax cheat, you're a criminal.

No, you are mistaken. You should do some reading on the subject before commenting. Most people believe Burisma hired him because of his name, but his father did not have anything to do with it other than having given his son his name.

Jared (and Ivanka), on the other hand were given his position in the White House by his father-in-law who had to make special arrangements for his SIL to get his security clearance.

It seems that Jared may be the worse criminal. As far as I know, Hunter is no longer an addict, but Kushner has interesting investors into his fund.

What life experiences or degree or what have you, did Hunter Biden possess, that would get him to land a job at Burisma? What did he bring to the table?

He had a law degree from Yale University and was an attorney at the time. He had a lot of banking and investment experience. He had worked for the Commerce Department under George Bush. Really, you could look any of this up yourself rather than make wild claims.

In any case, this thread is not about Mr. Biden, but about Jared Kushner, who is being investigated by the House. Are you at all interested in what he did that triggered this investigation or are you just going to go on about, "But Hunter!!!"?

Carry on.

What life experiences or degree brought Kushner to leading on Middle East Peace talks? Coronavirus?

This is comical.

Kushner helped broker the Abraham Accords. His record speaks for itself.

That was in 2020. What did he have in 2016 to bring him into those talks?

Nothing that the Abraham accords mean about as much as me claiming stake on the moon.

They were historic in that they brokered a peace agreement between Israel and muslim nations that had never happened before. Clearly Jared wasn't incompetent or he wouldn't have been in that position.

between Israel and 2 completely irrelevant nations.

Wooo.

Next lets sign a peace accord between columbia and Laos.

It's about more than that. It was a reconciliation between nations that were hostile towards one another due to deeply held religious stances. It was a victory for peace. Now, just imagine what would have happened with the accords had Jared been allowed to continue. You would have likely seen other nations signing on for peace with Israel.

Instead you get Biden. Enjoy your gas prices.

A victory for peace between nations never at war. Woo.

if you think Biden is responsible for these gas prices you are sadly mistaken. See Trump, Obama, and W gas prices.

 

[friend of]

Gas was under $2 a gallon under Trump mate. Sorry but reality dictates you lose this argument.

 

[Desk trauma]

Gas was under $2 a gallon under Trump mate. Sorry but reality dictates you lose this argument.

...and it could be again under Biden, if we have a similar implosion of demand for oil.

 

[Vylo]

Gas was under $2 a gallon under Trump mate. Sorry but reality dictates you lose this argument.

It was also over 3 a gallon, after hitting record lows under obama.
