I wonder if this is true? If it is then it beats hunters laptop.
 
If nothing has happened in the 4+ years after the story broke either nothing is going to happen or the story is not what it was made out to be possibly a little from column A and a little from column B

Nobody really believed they did it out of the goodness of their heart did they?

"Back in April, The New York Times reported that Jared Kushner’s four years of Saudi ass-kissing and murder-excusing had paid off in the form of a $2 billion investment from the kingdom‘s sovereign wealth fund to his newly formed private equity firm."

Come on, that's just ridiculous. First, how do you know nothing has happened? Second, intelligence is more often than not, a long game.

Yeah, this is old news. It's funny that I have no remembrance of it though. This is interesting and worth discussing, but it's not breaking news.

Keep hope alive if you want, there are still folks thinking Hillary will be arrested any day now they just need a little more time to build the case,

If something comes of this I will admit my error, however at this time I see no reason to think anything is going to come of this. If a phone call got Democrats worked up to impeachment this nugget would’ve been used for a third try if it had some validity.
 
IIRC, Kushner was not able to get a security clearance through normal channels to work in the WH. His father-in-law had to intervene and waive the normal requirements.

Comes of this? That train has left the station. I could give a shite about Kushner, I'm concerned about what the Saudi's got from him and how they are going to use it.

Well, the article points out the allegations can't be proven, but we do know Jared did something valuable for MBS in return for getting $2 billion from the Saudis for his new start up investment business, soon after leaving the WH. Quid pro Quo, anyone?

Sounds like you have a theory you can construct a conspiracy for.

Why would you say that?
"Six months after leaving the White House, Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince, a close ally during the Trump administration, despite objections from the fund’s advisers about the merits of the deal. A panel that screens investments for the main Saudi sovereign wealth fund cited concerns about the proposed deal with Mr. Kushner’s newly formed private equity firm, Affinity Partners, previously undisclosed documents show. Those objections included: “the inexperience of the Affinity Fund management”; the possibility that the kingdom would be responsible for “the bulk of the investment and risk”; due diligence on the fledgling firm’s operations that found them “unsatisfactory in all aspects”; a proposed asset management fee that “seems excessive”; and “public relations risks” from Mr. Kushner’s prior role as a senior adviser to his father-in-law, former President Donald J. Trump, according to minutes of the panel’s meeting last June 30."

You kind of proved my point, keep constructing those theories. If they ever turn out to be true I will admit my error.. until then your posts need a murder board to be more effective.
 
I live in Saudi


Riyadh does not need American intelligence, there are no laws to stop them.
.
Over here always assume Saudi intelligence is listening in.....

This is first hand 😉

Not withstanding the four year age of this article, the Daily Mail quoting undefined anonymous sources isn't a strong basis for anything, regardless of whether it suits your political preference.

Not much on the value of secrets passed between governments are you?

I've always thought Trump didn't take all those classified documents when he left the WH. He could have been hoarding them since the beginning. Copying and sneaking them out of the WH slowly but surely.

Who wants to bet Trump knew of the Ukraine invasion 2 years before it happened. There are so many possibilities.

Yes, Trump has been playing 4 d chess... You MAGA people have been arguing that for years.

But really, Trump reversed Obama era policies and begin giving lethal aid to Ukraine the first year of his presidency. Seems weird that he would have known of the invasion and actively supported Ukraine in its defense...

Why in the world would he lie about it, when they are close friends and allies who he just overrode his advisors to give billions to? Rather, it just shows remarkable irresponsibility that he's talking about it. He would gain so little from lying about it compared to the cost it should be seen as very, very likely true.
