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.”

if true, this could be much worse than numa, MB surrogate, having a double lip lock on hildabeast ???
I don’t like this Kushner advising Trump at all at all at ALL
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ditto. However, Trump’s his own man and makes his own decisions in the end.
The hopeful part of me thinks this is a good way to keep an eye on him.
I need to keep reminding myself that Trump doesn’t look at things through the prism of convervative or liberal. I sincerely believe that he is motivated whole-heartedly to do what he thinks is best for America.
Hey, I’m a TRUMP believer but I have no use for Kushner or his stupid wife. A huge spot light must be shined on them and expose their true identities.
Exactly. Only a Democrat considers a direct gift from Soros (which they love) and legally borrowing money and paying interest for financial transactions as equal.
No way. Just look at the horrified posts by Trump supporters here, including my own.
You haven’t seen any of these? I find that hard to believe but then, like me, as soon as you hear his voice you will realize you recognize it. It took me a while to actually watch them as I realized when I started binging that, indeed, I had begun to watch and was turned off by the libtards slant in a few minutes. But I did, gradually, choke down the bile and persist and found something extraordinary. There are a bunch and since I am currently boycotting YouTube I found a website with his videos that links to Vimeo and the format is better (not 240 or 360p). I would recommend starting where I did when I really began to pursue him. “The Trap” in three parts.
Then “Hypernormalization”. I realize this is like 5 hours of video but the ideas he presents are so compelling. He loves the “unintended consequences” twist, such as it was the radical individualism of the 60s liberals that led to the ascension of the ultimate individual, Reagan. Now that is not a connection “dot connectors” have never made, AFAIK. But once revealed you see instantly it is so.
Here is a link to “Hypernormalization” in a good format.

Wow, two choices. No check mark cause it yet to do? At least is’t on the whiteboard.
I understand we all want things to get fixed immediately. Hell, on Jan 20 I wanted to see ACA repealed and Clinton in jail. Instead, I chose to trust the President’s judgement (who I elected). He has earned that trust so far and all the daily new drama (most of which becomes false and forgotten with a week) means nothing.
Illegal border crossings down huge, criminal illegal aliens getting rounded up, more immigration judges being sent. There’s probably 30 to 40 million illegal aliens in this country, DACA is less than 1 million. Priorities need to be set. Resources are limited.
I choose to be patient and wait on our President. When we get two years in and everything looks the same I’ll be right in line with the “tar and feathers” campaign.
It’s been only three months and 30+ years of government screwage ain’t gonna be fixed in that time frame. (and the icing on the cake, no matter what, is no Madamn President Clinton.)
Something he talks about early on is the concept of Berlin’s “Positive and Negative Liberty”. I had never heard of this phrase or idea but quickly you realize how important it was in the minds of leaders and decision makers in the recent decades.
The Ted Cruz cult of personality forgets that he is a Goldman Sachs stooge, too.
The political blessings and curse of a populist - a base in true political principals is a vacant seat.
Trump will continue to do some things he knows those who voted for him want, but down deep he will never truly be one of them, because down deep he is not one of them. His prior history before he went for the president is validation enough that he really is no true Conservative.
Daca..promise...day one...still not done..completely under his control to do it.
He isnt going to do it
As you wish then. It’s on the whiteboard it’s on the agenda.
You may even be right. I’ll wait and see and if DACA isn’t resolved in our favor I’ll weight that against everything else that is getting done.
Also, DACA being an immigration EO from Oblahblah, the courts would tie it up anyway. I’m letting Trump play this out his way.
First secure the courts and the precedent that the President has sole jurisdiction over immigration policy and not the courts. Then sign away.
But I could be wrong, you never know.
I really find these documentaries intriguing. It occurs to me that we all would like to make a stab at “where do we go from here” but a great deal of the problem is navigation. We have to ruthlessly determine where “here” is or any attempted course correction is doomed to the same failure we now face.
If we only accept “Red” navigational aids we inevitably include propaganda from our side to which we may be oblivious because it is “our team”. Like you, I do not want my mind polluted with deceit of any kind. I guess this is essentially his thesis in “Hypernormalisation”. We can’t make a course adjustment because we can’t know just what course we are actually on at the moment.
So it occurs to me it might be a good idea to really carefully sift through the left’s propaganda (like these Curtis documentaries) to sift out those nuggets of reality that are useful. His assertion that it was really Syria responsible for things like Lockerbie and PanAM 93 but our gummint did not want to face that truth so it created a “new truth” that it was Kaddafi behind it all. This is one of those nuggets that is troubling for a couple reasons. Not just that our gummint would lie so boldly but that the lie was so successful.
Obviously, I am still struggling to digest this stuff but it occurs to me that “creation of new paradigms” is going to be required. One point Curtis makes (actually others make, he relays) is that it is a fact that attempts at “positive liberty” are doomed to fail and it is a mathematically provable hypothesis (not to mention historically accurate). Every time one reaches for the levers of power to attempt to make negative liberty possible one “at the moment of contact” with the lever immediately becomes an agent of positive liberty which is doomed to fail.
So the only way to achieve meaningful, widespread negative liberty by definition cannot include government. So “where we are” begins to look like the path out must contain some kind of “crowd sourcing” of momentum toward gaining some leverage over the gummint and financial institutions of our society. By definition that momentum has to be comprised of individuals all acting individually in their own interest to deprive these institutions control over our lives.
What is that? What does it look like? Could Nash be right? Is there a dynamic equilibrium that is stable in an system of intentional anarchy? Am I morphing into Rodney King? “Can’t we all just get along?” LOL. I am losing my mind in trying to find it.
Soros bump for later...
Geez...did you plagiarize that from some cheesy video game?
Did you think you elected a magician, or a Chavez? Which? WHICH?
