The author of the best-selling book that revealed alleged pay-for-play schemes during Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state is sounding the alarm about Jared Kushner’s ties to liberal bankroller George Soros and Goldman Sachs.
“Clinton Cash” author and Breitbart News editor Peter Schweizer said in a radio interview that Kushner’s ties to Soros — who funds a network of left-wing activists — as well as his billion-dollar loans, both of which he failed to include in his financial disclosure forms, present a “massive, massive problem” for the White House. Schweizer called for an independent audit of Kushner’s finances, which he said likely contain similar bombshells.
Schweizer expressed similar concern over the opacity of Kushner’s political views — which the adviser has kept close to his vest — and said the president should let the public “lift the hood up from the car and see what kind of engine is underneath there — to see really what his views are, have him do some public interviews about what his positions are.”
“He is now the sort of go-between, between President Trump and people like Goldman Sachs and/or George Soros that might have business in the White House,” Schweizer said. “These are people he does business with, and has commingled assets with. The American people need to know, and for a campaign that I think ‘draining the swamp’ and transparency were such important issues, this circumstance I think demands that kind of response.”
“There needs to be somebody independently that goes in and looks through his assets to make sure that there aren’t other big conflicts that are undisclosed lurking,” he said. “The problem is, you really can’t have confidence in whoever prepared these forms for Jared Kushner because you’ve got these gaps. I would be surprised if there aren’t more of these kinds of mistakes or omissions, because it just seems to me this one is so big and so glaring, it’s hard for me to believe that it was just an oversight, and it’s hard for me to believe that this is the only one that exists.”
Kushner, who is married to President Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, failed to disclose his business ties to George Soros, Goldman Sachs, Peter Thiel and other billionaires through his real estate start-up company, Cadre. Soros also reportedly opened up a $250 million line of credit to Kushner to help get Cadre off the ground.
While he may be business partners with Kushner, Soros is intensely opposed to his father-in-law, President Trump. Soros spent millions of dollars trying to defeat Trump in last year’s election, and recently huddled with left-wing activists to plot their opposition to Trump.
Kushner has seen his White House influence steadily increase since winning an internal war over Steve Bannon, the populist former CEO of Breitbart News. Although the feud has since ended, it’s well-known that Bannon doesn’t trust Kushner.
As one official close to Bannon previously told The Daily Beast, “Steve thinks Jared is worse than a Democrat, basically.”
Talking about a “cult of personality” is an ad hominem attack on Trump supporters.
You have bashed Trump endlessly, and any and all of US that have supported him. You have yet to recover from that rejected ineligible Canadian Cruz. You sound like what Lanny Davis described of ol bjClinton... ‘compartmentalization’, ol bjClinton's private brain never had contact with his public brain.
I think I quite correctly stated exactly how the legislation has been written by these Republican controlled Houses.. The mindless and spineless Republican Speakers will NOT change Nancy Pewlousey rules. IT is all on them... because just like you, some of these so called Republicans would love nothing better than to impeach President Trump.
While I do not read all your sophisticated sophistry, when I do, it is always a direct negative on President Trump.
Where did that come from? A lot of "true believers" (ie: Deplorables) have been VERY concerned about both the Prince and the Princess and their involvement in the administration. Anything, such as this, which could force them out of the administration is a ray of hope.
Trump claims that they are brilliant and trusted advisers.
But they have liberal Democrat views and are infusing his admin with that. Kushner also is reportedly the guy who convinced Trump to make Priebus his chief of staff, leading to all the GOPe in the WH too.
Great.
Donald Trump is becoming a living example of Lincoln's axiom that one cannot fool all the people all of the time, although you might fool enough for a short time to win the electoral college.
...betrayal...betrayal...betrayal...betrayal...compromise...pork...embracing notorious Democrats...infiltration...
At long last conservatives on these threads are abandoning the cult of personality and restoring their faith in conservative principles, even as they (including people like you who was recently threatened in a transparent attempt to censor your opinion) are being threatened that their views will be referred to administrative moderators.
OMG you're delusional.
The only thing "conservatives on these threads" are abandoning is any belief that you will ever be able to control your fixation on gratuitously attacking this superb President.
So keep leading the #NeverTrump choir in singing your favorite #NeverTrump hymns, and you'll find out precisely how "conservatives on these threads" feel about your #NeverTrump cult.
It appears to me that you're agitating yourself into a frenzy which will result in yet another timeout—a common punishment meted out to wayward children.
They are beginning to speak out and acknowledge publicly the truth that is undeniable before their eyes.
How very profound—you give new depth to the meaning of the word conceit.
Notwithstanding the "Trump Derangement Syndrome Caucus"—of which you are clearly a proud member—this community is strongly united in its support of President Trump, and while you hysterically—and inappropriately—carp about "betrayal", the overwhelming majority of this community rejects your pathological attacks on this great leader.
While it might have potential elsewhere on the internet, you'll discover that the TDS Caucus does not wield much influence in this community...
One time was enough, thank you, very much.
Do you still reside in Germany?
Jared Kushner decided to visit the battlefield wearing a plate carrier over a Brooks Brothers suit.
That’s all I need to know about Jared Kushner.
Trump, and the GOP, have until Oct. 1st to get it right.
In my defense I say first, I think you have to Concede that I was provoked, and second, it is not I who photo shopped images of Donald Trump astride the globe garbed in a Superman costume. His has been an ad hominem campaign from the very beginning. Indeed the whole rationalization for the Donald Trump phenomenon has been his personality.
Whether you realize it or not, you answered my question. And exposed yourself for exactly who you are. An elitist snob.
And all the concern trolls will see nothing wrong with blabbing on and on w/o actually donating anything of themselves to their cause (which seems to be helping the Left/RINOs/GOPe defeat Trump.....make yourself useful ... troll:
NathanBedford is anything but an elitist.
He’s simply much more well read, and smarter than you.
And there he goes again. The notorious Trump hater, still at it. Hyperbole much?
You stink up this forum more than anyone has in a long time.
As I suggested before, perhaps you should go back to hanging with Angela Merkel and her Islamist buddies, those that you love so well.
Hanging round here like some Uriah Heep to bash Trump with any imagined offense is a despicable way to live, especially for a Merkel supporting fool such as yourself.
This budget deal was business as usual by the District of Criminal snakes. I would have shut down the Government as a signal to my enemies that I'm ready and willing to play hardball. Trump sent a message with his attack on Syria he was willing to fight. It is unfortunate he failed to show the same resolve with his domestic enemies as well.
He's quite honestly no better than a DU troll.
And anyone who thinks the man is well read or smart, knows little about him.
I would think Trump wouldn’t have a tin ear...if they’d renounce this line of credit, it would go a long way in believing they are not liberals secretly undermining the country.
President Trump, are you listening?
Of course this assumes said LOC exists.
