‘Clinton Cash’ Author Sounds The Alarm Over Jared Kushner’s Partnership With George Soros
Daily Caller ^ | 05/03/2017 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 05/04/2017 2:12:09 AM PDT by Mount Athos

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.”

Wouldn’t hurt to know his political views.

Still Trump true believers will refuse to see anything wrong with this.

George Soros ties would be great if they were made of piano wire

I hate hearing about this

There is no one more despicable in America than Soros . Soros funded and inspired so much grief for Trump supporters during and since the election . If true , Trump should personally kick the s#it out of Jared for his association with Soros . As for Soros , he needs to be discovered in a ditch somewhere .
Trump owes himself and his supporters some serious payback in this particular case .

I don’t care what Prince Jared’s views are. I don’t like the company he keeps or his Faustian $250 million dollar line of credit.

The Little Prince needs to go.

The obscene budget the so called Republicans just presented is far more ‘wrong’ than liberals doing what they are known for doing. Now, the failure to disclose demonstrates Jared knows how his business dealings appear. But, for crying out loud, why do you hold Jared to a higher standard than the likes of lying Ryan of the state of Wisconsin?????

I don’t like this Kushner advising Trump at all at all at ALL. The guy is a real estate INVESTOR, he’s not even a developer. He’s never dealt with politicians, never had to deal local authorities, foreign countries! All he does is give someone money. What does this punk know that Trump doesn’t already know a million times better and he’s advising Trump?

Love Peter but this is a stretch. Kushner bros. raised money, some of it from a fund Soros is invested with. It isn’t possible to go get a term sheet and know all the dollars in the fund you’re negotiating with. Not a one to one relationship. The kid is brilliant and a bit of a squish, there’s no doubt, but going after him on this is libtardish.

No harm in knowing his political opinions.

Don’t recall someone with this much power having no real history of political discourse to gain insights into his thoughts.

Both Jared and Ivanka need to leave.
Palling around with Soros and J Goerlick is beyond frightening .
Ivanka is a hard core Manhattan Lib .

Both hiding your financial ties with Soros means you should leave now.
This man is an enemy of the USA and freedom loving people.

Trump funding dangerous Muslim refugees , done nothing about the Foreigners flooding here with Visas , and hiring Rence Pruis , a Goldman Sachs hack , left wing daughter who hatch dresses ,and left his family members with hidden very deep Soros ties running around the WH makes me wonder if the WH is really train wreck .

He sold us out with this Uniparty party Left wing budget .

We can't trust him . A lot of awful choices made the wrong way .

Also, this smells of palace intrigue- Bannon and Schweitzer are a very close couple with Bannon doing the Clinton Cash movie. Hearing them together many times on the old Breitbart morning XM radio show, it’s obvious they’re super tight, and we all assume there’s a big Steve/Jared war going on.

He can be brought in on an as-needed basis for special projects, but otherwise, it’s about time Jared hears the words, “You’re fired,” from this boss. The White House is no place for an apprentice of such dubious background.

We are fully embarked into the age of betrayal.

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.

The betrayal of repeal and reform of Obamacare, the betrayal on the Continuing Resolution, the upcoming compound betrayal on healthcare with the new plan which is bound to be only a slightly improved cosmetic alteration of Obamacare, the betrayal on prosecuting Hillary Clinton, the predictable compromise of tax reform, the predictable pork in the infrastructure plan, all bespeak a pattern which includes embracing notorious Democrats such as Goldman Sachs Agents of Influence and now the infiltration of the Trump administration by George Soros who we now learn has been inserted by proxy.

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. They are beginning to speak out and acknowledge publicly the truth that is undeniable before their eyes.

As we begin to learn more and more of the reality of Donald Trump, I recommend we think more and more of Article V.

I guess the bottom line is that conservatives have never been able to nominate good Republican candidates and then get them eleccted. They choose the far lesser sort, many of whom have been winning, but to no avail.

He reportedly has been a lifetime registered Democrat.

And we certainly know many of his wife’s views.

Also, there have been lots of reports of Jared’s views from within the WH, such as his being a climate change guy against the strict-enforcement position of, say, Sessions on illegal immigration.
