An explosive new documentary details how Jared Kushner's coronavirus task force consisted mainly of

20-something volunteers buying PPE with personal email accounts

When Max Kennedy Jr. volunteered to help out on Jared Kushner's White House COVID-19 Supply-Chain Task Force, he thought he'd be helping out senior staff with rote tasks like data entry.

"My old boss called me and said he heard Kushner's task force needed younger volunteers who had general skills and were willing to work seven days a week for no money," Kennedy, now 27, said in the forthcoming documentary about the Trump team's coronavirus response, "Totally Under Control." The film, which was made in secret over the last five months, is slated for on-demand release October 13.

So Kennedy traveled to DC and showed up at the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Once there, he said volunteers were led to Conference Room A, a windowless, underground meeting space. TVs covered the walls, all blaring Fox News.

After they sat down, Kennedy said representatives from FEMA and the military came in and gave them a "pep talk." The officials told volunteers that they needed to procure "the stuff" for the US government — Kennedy said they were referring to personal protective equipment, or PPE.

"We thought we'd be auxiliary support for an existing procurement team," Kennedy, who is the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, said in the film. "Instead, we were the team."

Kennedy said he and a dozen unpaid, inexperienced volunteers had become a core component of the US government's efforts to procure PPE.

1. The incompetence and denial

of this administration is just breathtaking.

[louis-t]

2. Work 7 days a week for no money? Where do I sign up?

6. Has Kushner managed anything successfully besides...

getting money to get off the hook for the 1B he owed on 666 Fifth Ave.? He's been in charge of everything and accomplished nothing.

[underpants]

15. Not that I know of.

[calimary]

20. So that would make his de facto title "Secretary of Nothing."

Early-on in this four-year nightmare, Jared was often referred to as the “Secretary of Everything” because - name the department or job and his father-in-law put Jared in charge of it.

[underpants]

22. I like that.

Secretary of Nothing.

[calimary]

23. And he certainly IS a big Nothing.

4. Light years beyond being surprised

by anything coming from this clown car of maladroits. Thanks for the heads-up on the doc.

5. K&R!

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Grifters gotta grift, grift, grift... Apologies to Taylor Swift

[BobTheSubgenius]

8. Apart from the incompetence of the "planning," which was no surprise at all,

what struck me was a Kennedy volunteering to work with that fustercluck.

10. It's like they're trying to look like baffoons.

11. My anger over what the Crooked Hissolini Admin has done is nearly matched by

my frustration that almost no one will have the intelligence, background, resources, and time necessary to ever fully comprehend the extent the damage this evil monster and his enablers have done. The list of crimes alone is too much for most of us to get our heads around.

The fact that this COVIDiot has any support at all in this country is shameful and tragic.

12. Jared scanned an article about some people somewhere who might have done something ...

like this and it was probably successful he thinks: he didn't scan the whole article.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. I keep picturing Jared atop a huge pile of PPE...

... like Smaug laying on the gold and gems from the book, The Hobbit.

[rpannier]

14. Sounds like procurement process for the Bush administration

There was some 22-year-old guy who had a contract to get weapons for troops in Afghanistan

[COL Mustard]

16. And He Went To Prison

The company was AEY and it was complete contract fraud. They were buying arms and ammunition from China, completely illegal, and selling it to the Army for the Afghans. Friends of mine were involved in cleaning up that shit show.

[SergeStorms]

18. The movie, 'War Dogs' was based on that shit-show.

It shown an extraordinarily bad light on the way our government fulfills government military contracts.

[SergeStorms]

17. Can't wait to see that Doc.

Trump's nepotism is a colossal failure, with Jared doing the lion's share of the failing.

[sarcasmo]

19. Murderers!

[Hugin]

21. So, what is being done now? The pandemic is still with us and the Fall wave is approaching.

What team is in place, today?

[live love laugh]

24. Inexperience is the premium fuel of Fascism.

Dejoy fired 33 experienced postal executives in a Friday night massacre.
Trump’s gutted the government replacing experienced civil servants with political rookies.
So it’s no surprise that an inexperienced Kushner would appoint inexperienced helpers.

The less the help knows the easier it is to steal and connive.
