Stunning story from SALON –
Jared Kushner foreign bu$ine$$ tie$ and billion$ of $audi money – while the GOP screams:
“What about Hunter Biden?”
“I've never seen anything
like it: Economic analyst stunned at sources of Jared Kushner's funds”
Economic
analyst Steven Rattner on the MSNBC “Morning Joe” show (Monday,
August 14) shared a pie chart showing
that all but 1% of the $3.1 billion in foreign investments to Trump's son-in-law
(and former senior advisor) Jared Kushner's private equity firm “Affinity
Partners” came from foreign sources after he spent much of his White House
tenure cozying up to Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman (MBS).
The Saudis alone invested $2 billion in Kushner's fund while
the UAE and Qatar each added another $200 million.
About $625 million came from other non-U.S. sources (not
identified) while only $31 million came from sources inside the U.S.
Here is a short video of
Rattner’s presentation on this story:
Rattner said on MSNBC that he's never seen this in his 40 years in the financial business, adding: “I've never seen somebody get two-thirds of their money from a single investor. Usually a single investor might be a few percent of the fund, might be 5%, and even occasionally 10%. While Kushner has hired some people for his fund, I've seen nothing else about what he's actually done with the money. It is normal to invest this money over a period of several years, so I don't think we can draw a firm conclusion yet. But, again, we're going back to a guy who's a real estate guy, and frankly, not a particularly good one at that, who's suddenly got $3 billion trying to do private equity deals competing against people who've been in this business for a long time. And I wouldn't, if I were the Saudis, count on making a lot of money from this any time soon. U.S. private equity firms still raise the vast bulk of their money from U.S. investors. This is extraordinary — unprecedented — I've never seen anything like it.”
My 2 Cents: Related House Oversight Committee in June 2022, then under the DEM majority opened an inquiry into this Kushner $2 billion deal with the Saudi Crown Prince MBS.
Now since the 2022 midterms with this new GOP majority now in
charge – well, no one knows the status – do you? I couldn’t find any updates.
Apparently, the GOP killed it.
So, where are the Republican
Hunter Biden headhunters on this helluva “sweet heart” deal for Kushner? Well,
most are as silent as a church mouse.
But, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) the #1 GOP committee
headhunter did say this.
Excuse me, Mr. Comer:
Hunter Biden never served in any government position at any time or place ever.
Jared Kushner was a senior
advisor right next to Trump for 4 years and he got especially close ME leaders
(especially MBS) and then he cashed in shortly after leaving the White House to
the toon of some $3.1 billion seen in the chart above.
So, as before I ask now
again: How do we spell hypocrite? Simple: G.O.P.
Will Jared Kushner be
investigated at the same level as Hunter Biden on foreign money ties? – Ha –
very doubtful – or better yet: 100% doubtful.
Thanks for stopping by.
