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.

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!

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

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 ".
WoodyLee
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...
Peter Neil
saudi arabia just buying influence.
Strangerland
Jerod “More Criminal Than Hunter” Kushner should be in jail for peddling White House power for money.
TokyoLiving
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 ""

My God, where are you hearing all of this? ROFL!
You were in the room? Well, tell us, what was said?? ROFL!

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.

uh, everywhere except fox news?
widening your circle of information outside your bubble is good for everyone.

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.
The Ripper!
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.
Blacklabel
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?
ulysses
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!!!
ulysses
Definitely sir, Donald’s girl’s husband is royalty.
Yes sir kushner family name is very very honorable, Jared’s daddy did many many honorable things!!!!
John
When pointed out that’s it’s EVWRYWHERE switches to:
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.
ulysses
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…….
ulysses
My thoughts exactly sir, does everyone know about how bad jared is with money!!!!
That is SNL level humor sir, titter titter titter.
i but a successful businessman like you was in the room for sure!!!
ulysses
And what a peace it was sir, I have never seen such a peace anywhere ever.
What a superb job he has done sir, Israel is safer than it was in its history!!!!
wallace
There was never a war requiring peace.
bass4funk
I think getting the Saudis close to us and on our side is a good thing. Biden is an idiot for alienating them.
wallace
bass4funk
There was never a war requiring peace.
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.
bass4funk
His record shows something different
And his investments are still high, this is why you diversify
And still has it and making money from it
And has more money than all of us put together
That is one person and yet, most Saudis still want to do business with him.
He had money before that and what is wrong with having money? Nothing wrong with being born privileged
ulysses
Very true sir, saudis taking part in 9/11 is just a minor inconvenience.
bass4funk
It has everything to do with Israel and Iran in particular
But more distant since Biden has been in office and that is a bad thing.
ulysses
Sir, you have the wrong in law, Lara is the one who cuts records. And what a fine yodeler she is!!!
Very true sir, he diversified into media, trump media. Now that one is a winner!!!!
Yes sir, the gulf funds gave him money, what what they got in return????
Not you sir, you made a killing with trump media!!!
ulysses
Sir, I’ve heard that once donald loses the Saudi’s will cut him loose!!!
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.
The Ripper!
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.
