Javanka "bracing" for book "Kushner, Inc.: Greed, Ambition, Corruption" by Vicky WARD

Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump bracing for release of Vicky Ward book
By Richard Johnson

...“Kushner, Inc.: Greed, Ambition, Corruption” by Vicky Ward.

The book, subtitled “The Extraordinary Story of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump,” due March 19 from St. Martin’s Press, will delve into the sordid case that got Jared’s father, real-estate developer Charles Kushner, a two-year prison sentence for witness tampering and other charges after Charles set a honey trap for his brother-in-law using a prostitute. ....

Ward, whose boyfriend Richard Cohen is a wealthy real-estate tycoon, was able to hire a team of investigative reporters from Newsweek after the magazine was raided by the Manhattan DA’s office last year and several staffers were fired and others quit or were let go. ....

The publisher touted the presidential power couple known as Javanka, saying: “They are entitled inheritors of the worst kind; their combination of ignorance, arrogance and an insatiable lust for power has caused havoc all over the world, and may threaten the democracy of the United States.”

...her last book, “The Liar’s Ball,” about the GM Building, which Trump once owned...

Trump called the 2014 book “very boring” and said, “She did a lousy job.”

Ward replied, “I don’t know how serious a literary critic Donald is.”

Harsher insults are on the horizon.

that the rules didn't apply to them and when it came to business, anything is fair as long as there is a profit to be made. They honestly are defective and can't see themselves paying any consequences for the things they've done.

This utter arrogance. Elitist snot-nosed arrogance. When you think you’re better than everybody else and the rules don’t apply to you, often you’re apt to think you’re always gonna get away with whatever malfeasance or deceit or skulduggery you’ve been up to. And you get sloppy. And careless. And you don’t cover your tracks - or don’t cover them carefully. Why? Because you’ve never had to bother with that kind of thing before. You get a “meh, nothing’s gonna happen. Nothing’s gonna happen to me. Besides, I’M a tRUMP! They can’t touch me!”

Which I think is why neither Michael Cohen nor Roger Stone took no precautions against possibly being raided. Why? Because since you’ve never BEEN held to account for being a nogoodnik, the assumption is that you’re never GOING TO get held to account. So why bother trying to cover your tracks or scrub the books or destroy evidence? YOU don’t have to worry about that stuff. Only the little people get caught. If you seriously believe you’re never gonna get caught in the first place, why even waste your time taking precautions?

If THAT’S not elitist, I don’t know what is!

Arrogance combined with aggressive stupidity. A very bad combination. They WILL go down. It's just a matter of time.

Of course that would make it boring for 45.

I can't wait until they put him in a cell with a few coloring books.
