"SNIP.......

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, “renewed a request to Jared Kushner for documents outlining how the former White House official received $2 billion from a Saudi investment fund, writing that Kushner had failed to respond to an earlier inquiry and raising new questions about whether he had ‘improperly traded’ on his government work to benefit his financial interests,” the Washington Post reports.

“Raskin’s letter also requested that Kushner identify all foreign investors in his company.”

the Saudi government is immune to anything coming from the US. The fact that they control a major percentage of oil makes them untouchable. That my friends is the sad brutal truth.

Now tell me again why we don't need to wean ourselves from fossil fuels.

Eventually they will run out of it and the western world might decide at that time to take their past actions out of their hides.

Jared Kushner is way too white, too precious, too special to have to answer to anyone. As I recall he was in charge of just about everything in the trump administration and even represented the US of A on the international stage, for heaven’s sake.

For quite some time I assumed he was a wax figure until I saw him blink when he was with a Saudi Prince.

Hunter Biden and his wayward laptop amounts to about 3 ounces.

Jared Kushner's highly suspicious procurement of $2 Billion from Saudi Arabia amounts to about 1000 tons.

Kushner is as dirty as they come.

They have money ties to Joe Biden’s brother also. So we better be careful when unwrapping this mess. It might expose a democrat.

There is nothing stopping a Senate committee from investigating.
