Jared Kushner's Shady $2B Saudi Deal Unprecedented, Says Wall Street Investor: "I haven't Seen Anything Like This"

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]

I'm so tired of hearing "Kushner gave us the Abraham Accords!"

That might be good for Israel. Might be good for some Arab states. But Neocons focus on "helping allies." America First should focus on American problems.

Trump also put Kushner in charge of his reelection efforts. But right when he should have been focusing on voter fraud, Kushner was doing his Abraham Accords. As if he expected Trump to lose, having given up, and wanted to squeeze in his Accords before then.

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

If a Democrat does something legal but shady, you can bet everyone here would jump on him. I don't mind applying the same standards to Republicans.

TRUMP: So let me just tell you very quickly, we’re entitled because of the laws that people like her passed to take massive amounts of depreciation on other charges, and we do it. And all of her donors—just about all of them—I know Buffett took hundreds of millions of dollars, Soros, George Soros, took hundreds of millions of dollars…
Most of her donors have done the same thing as I do.
You know what she should have done?
And you know, Hillary, what you should have done, you should have changed the law when you were a United States senator…
TRUMP: … because your donors and your special interests are doing the same thing as I do, except even more so.

CLINTON: Well, you know…

TRUMP: You should have changed the law. But you won’t change the law, because you take in so much money.

Agreed , and Trump had him as a senior adviser !

I assume that's because Trump couldn't say no to Daddy's Little Princess.

His access does help

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

One is under-the-table.
The other is above board.

Yeah, same thing. /s

"If a Democrat does something legal but shady,.."

Democrats never do anything "shady", only Republicans. Just ask the AP.

Nothing is above board with Saudi Arabia. Your a fool to think otherwise.

[Angelino97]

Nothing is above board with Saudi Arabia. Your a fool to think otherwise.

Nothing is above board with Israel either. Or with Russia, or Ukraine, or our own Deep State, or Wall Street, or Big Tech, or Big Pharma ...

Laws and ethics are for little people.
