Sounds like a violation of the Logan Act to me. Lock him up!!!

ah yes, son of convicted and multiple times jailed felon who inherited his fathers 4,000 apartments in new york.

daddy gave a couple million to harvard and jared was miraculously accepted with grades that would only get him onto a community college.

the same jared who flew to the middle east on the taxpayers dime any times, left daddy in laws white house and immediately got saudi arabia, qatar and uae to invest billions in his new investment fund, which has not returned a penny since he has no investment experience at all. but he was did suck millions in fees while returning nothing.

just another grifter in the toilet bowl circle surrounding trump.

he should keep his dim wit out of foreign policy.

Has he ever worked a hard day in his life. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Also mistreating the poor.

12 ( +13 / -1 )

Kushner-who?

He is in no position to discuss anything.

But I strongly assume he only discussed how to get more money from that general area.

Remember the $2 billion him and his wife gathered before?

Time to investigate these 2, too!

After Saudi expatriate opposition journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Trump stood by the crown prince in spite of a U.S. intelligence assessment that he had authorized the killing.

”Khashoggi was not one of our best. WaPo media, fake news. "

Of course, he’s a diplomat and not at all a nepo-baby, grifting, parasite.

6 ( +9 / -3 )

And the 2 billion in Saudi donations to his wealth fund that he’s charged 121 million in fees so far in spite of not actually investing the majority of the money.

They discussed that too….

Good on him.

""The source did not identify when the talks took place and whether they occurred before or after the start of the Gaza conflict. But they included discussions on the process of normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, a key diplomatic objective of both the Biden and Trump administrations, the source said.""

Antique NEWS, S. Arabia has already stated it's position on the matter, " No normalization without the establishment of a Palestinian State ".

Mr. Kushner will do anything for a price $$$ even when he and his partners knew the answer upfront.

Some extra cash on the side won't hurt.

Quite surprising the article failed to mention the $2 billion the Saudi government made to Kushner's new investment fund - one without any track record or history to judge how successful it would be....

Evidently they thought he must be more competent than his father-in-law who bankrupted six companies and has made Truth Social the laughing stock of social media...

Maybe it was a payoff?

Hmmmm....sounds like something worth investigating more than Hunter's laptop...

saudi arabia just buying influence.

Jerod “More Criminal Than Hunter” Kushner should be in jail for peddling White House power for money.

Not his business, pathetic..

How could anyone accept how Israel is treating it's Palestinian citizens !?

As Mr. Chris Hayes once put it during one of his shows speaking of Israel treatment of the Palestinians, "" This is obviously a Moral Abomination ""

Bought and paid for. Do you really think a guy who gets $2 billion from the Saudi’s has US best interests foremost in his mind? It’s all about the grift with this family.

I honestly don't care what the man does, he's in the private sector and a successful businessman so more power to him, if he can get something out of this deal, good for him.

Jared has never presented himself as impressive. He has, though, appeared to be a stooge for foreign powers wishing to manipulate US foreign policy.

5 ( +6 / -1 )

Trump did a great job brokering peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Jared is doing a superb job too but of course the Democrats are whining about him.

-8 ( +0 / -8 )

is it a problem that others have done the same types of things with no outrage?

or just a problem what their family names are?

-8 ( +0 / -8 )

In a Sept. 18 speech, MbS said the kingdom would not recognize Israel without the creation a Palestinian state, suggesting a deal may be near impossible for the foreseeable future.

That’s the story of Jared’s life, whatever he tries to do, he will fail.

The US govt should engage jared to negotiate on behalf of Russia, Iran, N.Korea, that’s the best and quickest way to harm these countries!!!

Definitely sir, Donald’s girl’s husband is royalty.

or just a problem what their family names are?

Yes sir kushner family name is very very honorable, Jared’s daddy did many many honorable things!!!!

When pointed out that’s it’s EVWRYWHERE switches to:

honestly don't care what the man does, he's in the private sector and a successful businessman so more power to him, if he can get something out of this deal, good for him.

Except he is objectively NOT a good businessman.

The NY paper he bought: bankrupt.

His 666 building bought just before the Lehman crash was refinanced with gulf oil money which is THE reason it didn’t go bankrupt.

ZERO experience in fund management. The Saudi’s own auditor recommended against the investment.

Nope, he’s the middling adult child of wealth who married into notoriety.

Very very true sir, he’s a very successful businessman who has failed miserably at business!!!

He will get the same returns as his Bahrain deal or thr PPE one…….

My thoughts exactly sir, does everyone know about how bad jared is with money!!!!

You were in the room? Well, tell us, what was said?? ROFL!

That is SNL level humor sir, titter titter titter.

i but a successful businessman like you was in the room for sure!!!

Trump did a great job brokering peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

And what a peace it was sir, I have never seen such a peace anywhere ever.

Jared is doing a superb job too but of course the Democrats are whining about him.*

What a superb job he has done sir, Israel is safer than it was in its history!!!!

I think getting the Saudis close to us and on our side is a good thing. Biden is an idiot for alienating them.

Nothing to do with Israel. The Saudis have always been close to the US buying oil and Saudi is the largest buyer of American weapons. Some were used in Yemen killing hundreds of thousands.

His record shows something different

The NY paper he bought: bankrupt. 

And his investments are still high, this is why you diversify

His 666 building bought just before the Lehman crash was refinanced with gulf oil money which is THE reason it didn’t go bankrupt.

And still has it and making money from it 

ZERO experience in fund management.

And has more money than all of us put together

The Saudi’s own auditor recommended against the investment. 

That is one person and yet, most Saudis still want to do business with him.

Nope, he’s the middling adult child of wealth who married into notoriety.

He had money before that and what is wrong with having money? Nothing wrong with being born privileged

Very true sir, saudis taking part in 9/11 is just a minor inconvenience.

It has everything to do with Israel and Iran in particular

The Saudis have always been close to the US buying oil and Saudi is the largest buyer of American weapons. Some were used in Yemen killing hundreds of thousands.

But more distant since Biden has been in office and that is a bad thing.

Sir, you have the wrong in law, Lara is the one who cuts records. And what a fine yodeler she is!!!

And his investments are still high, this is why you diversify

Very true sir, he diversified into media, trump media. Now that one is a winner!!!!

And still has it and making money from it 

Yes sir, the gulf funds gave him money, what what they got in return????

And has more money than all of us put together

Not you sir, you made a killing with trump media!!!

Sir, I’ve heard that once donald loses the Saudi’s will cut him loose!!!

He had money before that and what is wrong with having money? Nothing wrong with being born privileged

Couldn’t agree more sir, you might have been too poor to afford school, yet you were born in privilege!!!

Reality is if Kushners actions and antics were replicated by another from the other side - you know, the commies - the howling and chest thumping would be incessant.

That many right wing scholars feel it is normal to adulate Kushner - while playing see no, hear no, speak no - shows just how insincere they are.

A person of scruples regardless of political slant, would call out the obvious failings of Kushner & Co.

Some do, Most don't.

Well, wallace, seems you didn't know there needs to be a war as a prerequisite for a peace agreement:

President Donald J. Trump has brokered a peace agreement between Sudan and Israel – the third such agreement between Israel and an Arab-Muslim nation in less than three months.

Trump's Middle East peace agreements have changed nothing. There is no peace. Trump also canceled the nuclear agreement with Iran.
