In just the latest glaring conflict of interest in the Trump White House, a business partner of President Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner is seeking a $2 billion government contract to build the new FBI headquarters.

New York real estate firm Vornado Realty Trust is among the three finalists for the lucrative gig, ABC News reported Monday.

The company’s founder and chairman, Steven Roth, is a friend of Trump’s who works with his infrastructure advisory council and even traveled last week with the President to Cincinnati as part of Trump’s “Infrastructure Week.” The two stood on a stage together as Trump hailed Roth as one of the "greatest builders in America."

Roth's firm is jointly invested in two buildings with the Trump Organization, and it is negotiating with the Kushner Company over its investments in the 666 Fifth Avenue skyscraper in New York.

“This is a case where the conflict is direct,” Noah Bookbinder, executive director of Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington, told ABC.

The Trumps “have business ties to a company that stands to benefit from a direct decision of the administration,” he said.

1. Hey.

The Trump family can do whatever they please. Take public tax dollars, kill the earth, take access to healthcare from millions of people, kick people out of this country because of the color of their skin.

After all, he was elected King, and the King can do as he likes.

At the end of the day, who will be there to stop him?

[RKP5637]

3. Yep, Trump knows the US has few protections to stop a dictatorship, he owns congress and

he is one and the same with the GOP. And, if he fires Muller, it will be damn clear where the US is headed. And frankly, the dems can not stop him.

IMO we are watching the US morph into something far different than the founders envisioned. Money in the US talks and has great power, the rest just talk. Many think Trump is stupid, far from that. He knows how to work the system to his advantage. He's like a corporate raider and the US is his target.

The poor people stupidly cheering him on are going to find themselves living in a shit hole in the big picture. They, are his useful stooges.

6. We are all screwed.

The end is near.

2. the higher up you get the greater the fall. It's coming

[RKP5637]

4. I hope so! n/t

[LOL Lib]

8. My grandma used to say this

Thanks for reminding me. I shouldn't wish bad things for the uber wealthy, but I am not perfect. I want them to suffer the way POC, vets, disabled, and so on have suffered.

I miss my "grandma." The lady I'm referring to wasn't a blood relative, but I loved her just as much.

[luvMIdog]

10. well I'm a grandma it must be contagious lol

[LOL Lib]

19. I hope your wisdom and hers was/is contagious.

I need all I can get.

5. $Trillions stolen

When Trump leaves office, he will have stolen $Trillions for he and his pals. This is pennies, the Russians already have their Half $Trillion Oil deal.

[RKP5637]

9. The US is totally F'ed with this congress and administration. Really, the democrats are helpless.

The GOP has no conscience. They don't give a F about the people, the US or the future of this country. All of their patriotism is all BS. It's a showcase for those stupid enough to fall for that BS/propaganda from the GOP. All the GOP cares about is raping the US for wealth. It really doesn't take an Einstein to see what's going on. The whole world sees it. It's a shame a good portion of the US is so damn stupid and ignorant.

[Johnny2X2X]

12. Marcos family repeat

The level of theft will be mind boggling. They will abolish the CBO next. They will get rid of several spending oversight committees in Congress. Just watch, as soon as they can cover it all up they will simply raid the US treasury. A decade from now, when they try to find out what happened to all the money there will be too much of a cover up to track down where the money went. Then we will actually really be broke as a country.

The bulk of our taxes will go to Russia and rich crime families. They want it all.

[RKP5637]

14. That's where it's headed as the idiot factor of the US cheers them on. n/t

[LOL Lib]

7. This makes me so fucking angry

All my life I have heard and seen an old adage play out, "It's not what you know, it's who you know."

The crony capitalism has done more to destroy our nation than any other practice imho. It is responsible for the disproportionate wealth as much or more than any other practice. Even quality education for all will not fix this problem!

I know people who possess the intelligence to be the Thomas Edison or Ben Franklin of our day. These people struggle to cover their rent. Meanwhike the rich get richer.

The American dream died in the 1950s or 60s.

Rant over...sorry...

[RKP5637]

11. The US is going to eventually fail as the majority of the nation sinks into despair. It's a damn

shame. IMO Trump is likely the catalyst that will sink the US. The American Dream definitely has died. Imagine a young kid trying to start out today. Most are totally screwed.

[Johnny2X2X]

16. Full control of media is on the horizon

Once the news media becomes partially state run as FOX News now is, hope will be gone. They'll simply convince the masses that the reason they are working 16 hour days 7 days a week for a loaf of bread and a bowl of soup that the Liberals are to blame for their slavery.

if Trump isn't impeached, America as we know it is over.

[RKP5637]

18. That, pretty much sums it up. So many Americans are sheep, easily led by MSM. n/t

[LOL Lib]

20. Yes perfect summary

Sheep being led to slaughter comes to mind also.

[HAB911]

13. Offering NO CHARGE for all the Russian listening devices imbedded in the walls

What a deal!

[RKP5637]

15. Yeah!!! n/t

[hedda_foil]

17. I have just one question.

When do we find out that TRump, the Company is in on the deal?

How big will the kickbacks be?

What's Kushner's percentage?

Did Uday and Kusay negotiate the deal with Roth all by their brain damaged selfses or did Daddy do it?

Whoops, sorry, I guess that's a whole bunch of questions. More?
