He got a 2 billion dollar bribe during the first term and nobody cared. Re-elected trump after. Nobody cares now.

    This guy needs to be thrown in prison and ALL of his ill-gotten gains seized.

    I was going to suggest we send'em up to Bear Mountain, for a picnic.

    Hunter's laptop Jared's phone.

    Every accusation is about priming the field for the inevitable revelations about the crimes they commit.

    A reminder that he threw trump under the bus. Well, at least his lawyer did.

    Kushner’s lawyer denied that his client had any knowledge of the charity or the bank account, and claimed that Trump’s son-in-law did not make any arrangements with foreign leaders that the president did not agree to.

    Oof, they better not lose the House and Senate otherwise it is shaping up to be a real circus. For once it would be warranted as well, they crossed the line to criminality so blatantly so many times they should all be removed from society permanently.

    I doubt this will happen of course, but it is a fun fantasy.

    I have to praise Jared for at least getting millions of dollars in bribes instead of supporting crimes against humanity for a $7000 vacation trip to Israel. Get that bag.

    At least he is an elected representative of the american people and not just some piece of family doing the presidents (and his own) bidding. /s

    this is such a weird situation...

    this is an excerpt of a book, the Dutch are know to have hacked the Russian, but it's unclear the Russian hacked Kushner's iPhone.

    Even if that is true right now we have a single source on the money transfers so while it might be true, there hasn't been corroboration. One book seems to make the statement and a bunch of news is talking about it.

    The screenshots are only described not shown.

    This all sounds like Kushner, but without real fact this is just finger pointing. Time to use critical thinking skills.

    Yeah $700mil is just scraping the surface. He was also part of the EA takeover by Saudi worth $55bil, to give just one example.

    Indeed, which is why this seems somewhat credible from a circumstantial standpoint.

    I'm not saying he didn't do it, I'm just saying in this era of information manipulation, you have to verify everything. Including me.

    I get people want to stop thinking due to decision fatigue, overwhelming news, and more, but do you want to get used and abused?

    I can't imagine the Netherlands would just give the screenshots to random journalists. That doesn't mean that if congress requested copies they wouldn't get them. That said I also can't imagine that the CIA wouldnt know about such happening, so if congress had anyway to investigate there is no saying you wouldn't get matching information from a leak. Hell I'd be surprised if the CIA didn't have a spy in the Netherlands security team.

    The upside for MIVD is essentially zero; the downside is a diplomatic crisis.

    From my point of view that's entirely it. They have used journalists before for a leak, but not in a book and not of a US senior level official (even if he is a dip shit).

    Having said that, would you tell Trump that Kushner's phone got hacked because he has the hygiene of a hooligan?
