Jared Kushner's Shady $2B Saudi Deal Unprecedented, Says Wall Street Investor: "I haven't Seen Anything Like This"
Benzinga (via MSN.com) ^ | 19 August 2023 | Shanthi Rexaline

Posted on 08/19/2023 11:55:28 PM PDT by zeestephen

Investor and economic analyst Steven Rattner recently said he found the deal to be highly unusual..."Jared Kushner spent much of his White House tenure cozying up to MBS & Saudi Arabia...Six months after leaving Washington, his private equity firm landed $2 billion in investments from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund." [Rattner worked for Obama and manages former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg's private wealth]

Managing $2 Billion in this day and time isn’t much compared to some of the big hedge and investment funds out there. $2 Billion to the Saudi’s is walking around money compared to assets of over $2 Trillion Plus.

Not a fan of Jared Kushner (his book sucked), but it was either legal or illegal. "Shady" is not against the law.

(And like others mentioned, talk about "right on cue"!)

You are not allowed to criticize any Jews on FR, even when accurate.

Hunter and Cushner have one large, looming difference. Biden was still in office in 2009 when The Big Guy and Hunter flew to China on Air Force 2 and returned with $1.5 Billion from the Chinese bank. The money was to Rosemont Seneca Advertising.(Try to find anything online about RSA)

Hunter also had a partner in this grift. From the New York Post:

“What Hunter Biden, the son of America’s vice president, and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (later to be secretary of state), were creating was an international private equity firm. It was anchored by the Heinz family alternative investment fund, Rosemont Capital. The new firm would be populated by political loyalists and positioned to strike profitable deals overseas with foreign governments and officials with whom the US government was negotiating.”

That’s a far cry from entering a deal, as a very experienced, world renowned investment manager, after your father in law has any power to direct government action.

If Jared was wrong, let him face consequences. He may be as bad as hunter without the drugs.

Hunter gets foreign money from China. Jared gets foreign money from Saudi Arabia. Same thing just different players.

Rattner is trying to throw a distraction into the Hunter/Jo Jo Bidenskyyyyyy scandal. I guess he don’t want that scandal to get too much sunshine.

Rattner is a known and proven thief.

He stole my retirement GM bonds and gave the proceeds to the incompetents at the UAW

All the more reason to keep Jared on a short leash. All that is necessary is to show the results, the actual work done on behalf of his clients (same goes for Hunter). There should be a product.

“Even so, I never liked Jared.”

It’s his face. He looks like a soy boy that needs a good smack.
