With both the Biden Family Business scandal and Donald Trump indictments continuing to dominate the news cycles, daily, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said on Thursday that former President Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor, Jared Kushner, “crossed the line of ethics” by accepting a $2 billion investment in his investment firm from the Saudi Arabian government.
During an interview on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” Comer acknowledged a recent argument made by 2024 GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie, who claimed that the Trump family, along with Kushner, “has been involved in grifting for quite some time.” Christie said:
Look, the Trump family has been involved in grifting for quite some time. Jared Kushner, six months after he leaves the White House, gets $2 billion from the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund when Donald Trump had put him in a position to be in the Middle East. What was Jared Kushner doing in the Middle East?
Incidentally, the same Chris Christie, as we reported on Tuesday, who said in reference to the war in Ukraine: “I think that President Biden has certainly done better than President Trump.”
Anyway, after Tapper told Comer, “Again, sir, it all stinks to me. It all stinks,” Comer responded: (emphasis, mine)
Yeah. Look, I’ve been vocal that I think that what Kushner did crossed the line of ethics. But what Christie said, it happened after he left office. Still no excuse, Jake, but it happened after he left office. And Jared Kushner actually has a legitimate business.
This money from the Bidens happened while Joe Biden was vice president, while he was flying to those countries. He flew, days after he left Romania; his family started receiving wires from a corrupt Romanian foreign national. Days. Like four days after he left, including his granddaughter. What is his granddaughter doing getting a wire from a Romanian foreign national?
Great distinctions, great question, re: Biden’s granddaughter.

Chris Christie was unavailable for comment.
In a trumped-up (pun, intended) February 2023 article titled, “After helping prince’s rise, Trump and Kushner benefit from Saudi funds,” The Washington Post wrote:
In early 2021, as Donald Trump exited the White House, he and his son-in-law Jared Kushner faced unprecedented business challenges. Revenue at Trump’s properties had plummeted during his presidency, and the attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters made his brand even more polarizing. Kushner, whose last major business foray had left his family firm needing a $1.2 billion bailout, faced his own political fallout as a senior Trump aide.
But one ally moved quickly to the rescue.
The day after leaving the White House, Kushner created a company that he transformed months later into a private equity firm with $2 billion from a sovereign wealth fund chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Kushner’s firm structured those funds in such a way that it did not have to disclose the source, according to previously unreported details of Securities and Exchange Commission orms reviewed by The Washington Post. His business used a commonly employed strategy that allows many equity firms to avoid transparency about funding sources, experts said.
Ah, “experts.” Ever notice how one side’s experts are the other side’s politically predisposed useful idiots?
It should be noted that not one word in the above block quote points to anything illegal, and on the contrary, the Post admitted that the Securities and Exchange Commission was well aware of Kushner’s Saudi deal and that his private business uses a “commonly employed strategy to avoid transparency.”
So, where’s the beef, exactly?
I’m not suggesting that Kushner’s deal with the Saudis was ethical — or unethical — but I am saying that the differences between Kushner’s deal and then-Vice President Biden’s alleged direct involvement in Hunter Biden’s nefarious business deals were, and remain, profound.
The Bidens likely raked in millions of dollars — not for business ventures, as was Kushner’s case, but as direct payments to a multitude of shell companies and eventually into multiple bank accounts.
Sorry, Democrats — how does the old saying go? That dog don’t hunt? Yeah, that.
.
Kushner’s deal was after Trump left office.
I read an article on it - and the author was actually outraged that Kushner and a Saudi representative texted and they used first names! Further, they said Kushner concealed some details by using SEC RULES!
He used the Rules! OmG.
Jared’s deal happened after Trump left office for Jared’s legitimate business.
This money from the Bidens happened while Joe Biden was vice president.
Hunter was flying to these countries....on the taxpayers’ dime.
Days after Hunter left Romania, his family started receiving wire transfers from a corrupt Romanian foreign national......including payments to Biden’s grandaughter.
What business did the granddaughter have to get wire transfers from a Romanian foreign national?
Is Jared Kushner registered as a FARA?
If so that’s another way the Kushner deal is different from a BCF deal.
By my count that’s 13 differences I’ve found ... so far.
The count is now 14 differences.

He is, or the type of Investment and account doesn’t require it.
The NYT’s, WAPO, and Dems in Congress have done major investigations. They have his texts. He’d be in Prison if he wasn’t covered.
I figured as much. I did a search and could find nothing about it.
Of course the Corporate Gaslighters would never report a positive fact about Trump, his family or allies.
Trump, Bushes, Clinton’s, Bidens.
There are no distinctions... people. They all are using our Country to enrich themselves. They are all swamp monsters....Trump too.
Don’t want to gore your sacred cow...but let’s be honest.
It’s abuse of power at the expense of the little guy...you and me.

It’s classified as a Pooled Investment Vehicle - and he’s registered as required, FARA is not required.
He filed lots of paperwork. Another difference.
Contrast that with James and Hunter Biden reported in one the countries they visited for “business.” It was reported they were acting strange, and kept changing phones they were using.
And the differences are like night and day.
Thank you for looking that up!
Bump
ohhhh, blueberry is butt-hurt ... and too stupid to make distinctions. Trump has had a DECADE of tax returns audited and they found NOTHING~ And Trump companies LOST a Billion after becomig President due to the deep state attacks FROM the BUSHES, CLINTONS and OBAMAO syncophants. Sad that you have been here a dozen years and are still unable to draw distinctions... ymmv
Jared Kushner is a business man. He didn’t involve Donald Trump in his deal so I’m not seeing the grift here.
What’s good for the Biden’s isn’t good for anyone else democrat democracy in action.
