Kushner failed to disclose ONE BILLION $$$ in loans

The WSJ reports Jared Kushner failed to disclose $1B in loans
Politics Last night
According to the Wall Street Journal, Kushner reportedly withheld loans "totaling at least $1 billion" from various lenders.






Jared Kushner Discloses Dozens More Assets in Revised Financial Filing
Ivanka Trump disclosed $2.5 million in salary and severance from her father’s businesses

.......... his initial filing omitted dozens of assets, including commercial real estate, bonds issued by the New York water and sewer authority, a personal art collection and a New Jersey liquor license.

According to the disclosure, 77 assets were “inadvertently omitted” from Mr. Kushner’s earlier form and were added during what the form’s footnotes describe as the “ordinary review” process with the government ethics office. Some 60 of those were related to one collection of bonds. The updated form also provides additional information about 77 other assets, offering more detail about the structure of Mr. Kushner’s real estate assets. Mr. Kushner’s initial disclosure, released in March, hadn’t then been certified by the Office of Government Ethics.

Ivanka Trump, who is the president’s daughter, a senior White House aide and Mr. Kushner’s wife, also disclosed her finances for the first time on Friday, including some details that had been previously disclosed on her husband’s form. Ms. Trump didn’t become an official White House employee until late March, so she had later deadlines. Unlike Mr. Kushner’s, her form hasn’t yet been certified by the ethics office, as required by law. .............

and their low-down scuzzbucket republican "family values." Screw that degenerate shit. They need to adopt American values like honesty, integrity, truthfulness, and loyalty not to freaking russia, but to the USA.

When the number representing those "few dollars" has three commas in it, that's different.

14. But don't you dare mess up on food stamp forms or you go to jail for 5 years, right?

... for feeding your family. Would they say, "Oh, just resubmit until you don't get caught making another mistake"?

8. Is the lawyer correct that he's not required to disclose that info?

If that's the case is it really an omission if it's not required in the first place? We know they are all dirty and beholden to others but I'm not seeing a smoking gun if the issue is him not including something that he's not required to include?

Regular federal employees who complete the lower-level OGE Form 450s get raked over the coals to get everything on there.

they insist on remaining in their positions rather than disappearing to go back to their usual flying-under-the-radar world of illegal deals and transactions.

Public Financial Disclosure Guide.
Part 8. Liabilities

snip...Public Financial Disclosure Guide

Welcome to the Public Financial Disclosure Guide, a web-based set of instructions for completing and reviewing the Executive Branch Personnel Public Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form 278e) and the supplemental Periodic Transaction Report (OGE Form 278-T).

Transparency is a critical part of government ethics, and Congress has determined that the citizens should know their leaders’ financial interests. To facilitate such transparency, Congress enacted the financial disclosure provisions of the Ethics in Government Act. The Act imposes detailed requirements for public financial disclosure by senior United States Government officials. The OGE Form 278e and the OGE Form 278-T are financial disclosure reports that request only as much information as the Act requires a filer to disclose. ..snip

--------------
seems to me he had an obligation to disclose the $1 Billion according to the Ethics in Government Act...seems that Rump's tax returns should have been disclosed as well...
