[A reminder] Soros Rips ‘Would-Be Dictator’ Trump, Lends Money to His In-Laws, the Kushners
The Forward ^ | 1/30/17 | Daniel J. Soloman

Posted on 04/06/2017 2:31:54 PM PDT by markomalley

George Soros has been a fierce critic of President Donald Trump, denouncing him at a recent conference in Switzerland as a “would-be dictator.” But that doesn’t mean he’s above doing business with the president’s in-laws — the billionaire investor is said to have given $250 million in credit to Jared Kushner and Joshua Kushner’s real estate startup Cadre.

“Soros has had a long and productive relationship with the Kushner family,” an unnamed source told the Real Deal, which broke the story on Friday.

The brothers started the venture two years ago, as an online platform that allows institutions to invest in real estate deals located in high-priced markets like New York City. It’s unclear whether Jared Kushner, now a senior adviser in the White House, will be selling off his stake in the business in a bid to avoid conflicts of interest.

Trump, Jared Kushner’s father-in-law, demonized Soros throughout the campaign, painting him as a wealthy influence peddler in tones that struck many as anti-Semitic dog whistles. He vowed to “drain the swamp” of the Washington, D.C. elite by reducing or removing the global power of Soros and his ilk.

The original article from which this one was sourced was posted a while back on FR, but I tend to think that it's appropriate to post something else on here as a timely reminder.

Remember Ronald Reagan?

Remember how the Globalists sent in G.H.W. Bush to handle him, to influence him?

Looks like that is Jarod Kushner’s role.

“Charles Kushner (el Jared’s papa) is an American real estate developer and convicted felon. He founded Kushner Companies in 1985. In 2005, he was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering, and served time in federal prison.”

Not fake?

Yeah with info like this .... ““Soros has had a long and productive relationship with the Kushner family,” an unnamed source told the Real Deal, which broke the story on Friday.”

How could it be fake, right? Doesn’t everyone always trust unnamed sources and no-name blogs?

(rolls eyes)

ENOUGH!! Ivanka and Jared are way past three strikes. President Trump has got to get them out of the WH and away from any decision making and top secret information.

I agree. He must get them away from any policy decisions. He must not himself to be influenced by them on policy matters.

I get that. I do.

In fact - I trust no name blogs with their “unnamed sources” far more than I do CNN or other mainstream media whores.

But to make up your mind one way or another based on this old blog is not a good idea.

If you raise fininancing in amounts like that, eventually if you go backwards, from fund investing in a fund that invests in a fund that invests in a fund, it leads to rich guys. Didn’t like hearing about this when it came out but there’s no borrower to creditor relationship, one to one, between Kushner and Soros.

Get the punk the funk out of our WH and our federal government!!!

I don’t care if he’s married to Trump’s daughter, he doesn’t belong in a single government meeting or reading a single government document.

Out!!!

I see your point but we must also take into account the ‘probability” of this being true. Soros wants to exert all the negative influence he can on American policy and this is one way to do so.

Here's a photo of Jared Kushner on his recent trip (today or yesterday) to Iraq:

My God -- have you ever seen a bigger dweeb in your life? This guy makes Richard Simmons look like John Wayne.
