SEC Dropped Inquiry After Firm Aided Kushner Company

Source: PoliticalWire



March 2, 2018 at 11:16 am EST By Taegan Goddard

“The Securities and Exchange Commission late last year dropped its inquiry into a financial company that a month earlier had given White House adviser Jared Kushner’s family real estate firm a $180 million loan,” the AP reports.

“While there’s no evidence that Kushner or any other Trump administration official had a role in the agency’s decision to drop the inquiry into Apollo Global Management, the timing has once again raised potential conflict-of-interest questions about Kushner’s family business and his role as an adviser to his father-in-law, President Trump.”

Was to make a deal.
Wasn't Prince questioned about this meeting & said it was about nothing?

Was he questioned by Mueller or the Senate Intel.
I can't recall right now who asked him about that meeting ..
He lied anyway.

10. I don't recall hearing that Mueller had questioned Prince, but I believe he appeared before

one of the Congressional hearings. Seychelles seems like a long way to go though, to discuss nothing. They are all crooks. Gosh I hope Mueller is on top of this.

Eric Prince has his greedy fascist hands dipped in a few other places with Trump.

He also wanted to set up a private security gathering global mercenary "army" seperate from our US military with no one to answer to.
On the taxpayer's dime of course.

I think I read that Ghouliani was part of that deal too.
Don't know what became of it but I'm sure we'd never know about it if it did happen.
