‘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.”

Take a look over your shoulder, Sargon, you no longer speak for the mob, it is disintegrating.

After reading your posts it is starting to sound like your sole objective is to prove the NT's right...all facts be damned.

Could this possibly be true?

After dissing bannon..trump came out and said something positive.

Was this a mercer orchestrated move? Palace coup against Demint in exchange for job Security for Bannon.

Timing is suspect.

Soros Info has been out there for sometime..another Interesting timing issue

FRiend. I have recently stumbled upon the documentaries of Adam Curtis and I have to admit I am fascinated. While I disagree with him on much of his liberal/progressive ideology I have to say I am intrigued by his perspective. He does bring forward facts the media and the gummint would rather not be widely understood. How he interprets their meaning I disagree with but one cannot disagree with facts and for revealing these facts I am grateful.

I wonder, though, at just where things are going. His recent “Hypernormalization” is pretty good, if you ask me. On simply has to get past his “Howard Zinn” tendencies and attempt to sift through the debris for those nuggets. It occurs to me that our “conservative” perspective contains some “embraced fallacies” possibly as hideous as those of the leftards so lately I have been pondering just what these might be and where this is all heading. Thoughts?

I mean, this guy has made a living by pointing out the unintended consequences of “embraced fallacies” for decades. Granted, they are largely “right wing” but he can be pretty hard on libtards as well.

First you’ll be called a Never Trump. To the hard core Trumpettes, anyone who criticizes anything Trump has ever done, is a Never Trumper. I’ve been called a Never Trumper despite the fact that I voted for him, donated to his campaign several times and even did neighborhood canvassing work for him. So you’re first a Never Trump. Only then, only after that, will you be called a troll.

Massive liberal projection. I expect the same level of outrage over elected Republican Congress members who wallow in Soros dollars. AND IF the Ky in your handle stems from the state of Kentucky you have nothing to itch about President Trump, given who the state of Kentucky sent to Washington. Conservatism is, GOD, Family and Country .... personal individual responsibility, of which, little can be found in the Republican controlled Congress.

Agree. I would like to spend more time with children or pursue other activities.

They want to be in the White House for one reason to launch political careers.

What kind of useful advice could they possibly give to Trump. They have no experience in these matters.

And Bannon is still there, day, what? 105?

Reminds me of Algore—”the earth is burning. We only have 10 years left” (20 years ago)

Could this possibly be true?

No.

My intention is to confront conservatives with the reality that what they were promised is not being delivered. Apart from a few issues, a few executive orders and a Supreme Court Justice, we are being betrayed on the important issues such as Obamacare, the Continuing Resolution with all that implies, the failure to prosecute Hillary, the failure to withdraw or repudiate NAFTA, Iran deal, Paris accord, Chinese currency manipulation (always a questionable claim) and much more.

This is offset by a fresh foreign policy and more robust military posture but it has not yet assumed enough coherence to be labeled a doctrine which is necessary for number of reasons, not the least of which is to bring the country along.

As I said, I want good conservatives to be free criticize Trump when warranted and praise when deserved. But this is a far cry from the rigid orthodoxy in support of Trump that was heretofore virtually mandatory. I am asking for a rational debate leading to both praise and criticism when and where warranted and that means an atmosphere in which we are free to express both sides of that equation.

My prediction is that we will see very little that actually drains the swamp and we should stop pinning all our hopes on any man, even a man as charismatic as Donald Trump, even if he is presented to us astride the globe garbed in Superman costume, to provide structural (read constitutional) changes which are the only long-term solutions both to the survival of conservatism and to the Republic. This is after all a conservative forum not the Trump forum. If we are not free to speak our good faith opinions but must adhere to rigid Trump correctness orthodoxy this is not a forum much less a conservative forum.

Then President Trump should be impeached!

https://trumpsoroschicago.wordpress.com/

Let’s all second guess the President’s judgement. After all, the President is so malleable. He’s like putty in Soros’ Jerod puppet hands.

I see the story references the Bannon thing. People here were saying Bannon was leaving. Guess they were wrong there as well.

What evidence is there to suggest Kushner is changing anything in the Trump agenda?

After reading your post it is obvious your sole objective is to defend Donald Trump by attacking ad hominem anyone who criticizes him...all facts be damned.

During the campaign, “Conservative Principles” was code for Ted Cruz.

“If Trump is the answer as you apparently continue to believe...”

He is the only thing we have right now. Isn’t there ANYTHING he has done that you approve? Such as stopping the witch, for example? Gorsuch?

You can choose any 100& pure conservative that you prefer, put him in office, and Paul Ryan will still try to undercut him. And the Congressional Republicans will still vote for Ryan as Speaker. Congressional Republicans obviously don’t accept Trump as the titular head of the party. They did not with George W Bush and he was not conservative at all.

Look at bannon white board. Notice the reference to Daca. Notice there is no check mark

Why?

Campaign promise. Not fulfilled. Who changed his mind??? Or was it just an empty promise?
