(7,947 posts)I keep getting a sense that Putin, that crafty old KGB hand, is pwning Trump over and over, just to show who's boss. Maybe he's ordering his underlings to turn this over.

(13,466 posts)He's walking around with a security clearance, trying to achieve "Middle East peace" every now and then. When is this guy going to at least have his security clearance removed???

(14,154 posts)..... he can take US top secret info and use it to kick open the door to find alt. financing for his failed 666 skyscraper fiasco. With top secret info he becomes a hot commodity to help hunt down a new mortgage holder before his balloon interest payment soon comes due.
The House of Saud would be a perfect candidate to help solve this Kushner failed real estate deal about to go through default and then bankruptcy.
Kushner is running out of options to maintain his facade of solvency. Brokering US top secret info is a real ace in the hole and feather in his cap, so what if Kirchner's scheme to save his neck further perpetuates the act of TREASON.
A guy has to do what a guy has to do to transform bleeding red ink on his bottom line which denotes a loss, to black ink which indicates a healthy profit.
No matter what it takes, how much you have to bend and contort reality - the Trump/Kushner persona is at all times is winners not ever losers.

There are better conspirators in any given middle school planning a beer party next Saturday.
These fucks are so used to succeeding without effort that they can't even bring themselves to work hard enough to avoid prison.
Hey you ass biting cretins, most crooks don't have trust funds to pay lawyers - they actually have to think and work to avoid prison.
Don't worry, you'll soon learn the ropes in the same place most of them did. Penitentiary State University, and after that you'll realize that you are just too stupid to be criminal masterminds

Or is their wealth all fake too?
But yes they are used to a PR campaign and shyster lawyers to keep them out of trouble.

He took all the family money and laid it all on the table for one bet - the money sucking high interest/fees building.

(182,824 posts)$800M was the big windfall. To make a casino analogy- BIG WIN! Step away. Have a steak. Take some and go back in the next day.
You know who else had a sudden $800M windfall? Mark Cuban. Yahoo way overpaid for broadcast.com. No negotiation- Cuban saw the number and said "Okay that'll do".

(182,824 posts)Of course few will be surprised that Kushners father, Charles Kushner, a wealthy and connected developer and political donor, helped him get in. But the details of just how that happened, described in Daniel Goldens thoroughly reported 2007 book The Price of Admission, remain remarkable to this day.
What Golden found, essentially, was that Jareds father handed Harvard (a school he did not attend) a big pile of money just as Jared was starting to apply to colleges. Around the same time, Jareds dad got his US senator to contact another US senator to arrange a chat with Harvards dean of admissions.
Happily for the Kushner family, Jared was then admitted. But several officials at Jareds high school outright told Golden that they found the choice puzzling, since his grades and academic record really didnt seem to merit it:
In 1998, according to sources familiar with the gift, the New York University alumnus [Charles Kushner] pledged $2.5 million to Harvard, to be paid in annual installments of $250,000. ... At the time of the pledge, Kushners older son, Jared, was starting the college admissions process at the Frisch School, a Jewish high school in Paramus, New Jersey. A senior in 1998-99, Jared was not in the schools highest academic track in all courses, and his test scores were below Ivy League standards. Frisch officials were surprised when he applied to Harvard and dismayed when he was admitted.

He is the nasty piece of work that brought Bill Clinton's abusers to Hillary's debate.

(49,002 posts)Attempting to cover it up this way is amateur.
The whole operation from the beginning on the Trump side has been very amateur. They've been played by the Kremlin professionals so completely they still think they "done nothin' wrong".
But the Kremlin is professional and expected the whole thing to collapse on the tRump side sooner or later. It all adds to the chaos they are trying to create in the West so that it is less effective in stopping Putin's nefarious schemes for self-aggrandizement and self-enrichment.

Mediocre effort from mediocre crooks.

(82,849 posts)I mean, I know they are for Hillary Clinton, but Jared Kushner isn't subject to that same standard, is he? Can he just amend his disclosure form again? You know, the one he keeps signing with some nonsense language above the signature about perjury?

(15,805 posts)He should stop reading his own press releases and stop writing his own flattering testimonials. How many time has this dufus been caught lying or doctoring his security disclosures? He been caught every damn time, but he's still doing the same thing.
