REPORT: SAUDI ARABIA CONCLUDED JARED KUSHNER’S INVESTMENT FIRM WAS A JOKE, GAVE HIM $2 BILLION ANYWAY

Post by Libertas »

If this was a democrat, every con here would have their brains explode thru the tops of their heads.

This is why you are not patriots, none of you. He was an administration official, he got this money because of that.

And all cons are silent. As I recall the ALLEGATION of Whitewater was $8000 or something? You fucks are traitors. I could not hate a group of people more than I hate you.

I know this isnt new, couple months now, but if about a Dem administration the news would speak of nothing else. This is why America is broken.
I sigh in your general direction.

The Trump crime family is unlike any every seen in the history of our nation. Quit trying to normalize them.

You, as always, ignore the crimes of the Trumps to attack whatever dem you can.

You ALWAYS defend and normalize Trump. That's always your go-to on Trump. You NEVER say, "Yeah, Trump's the worst". NEVER.

The only thing you come close to doing so is you half-heartedly say Trump's a bad guy then you change the subject. You always work to absolve him and don't think he should be taken down for his crimes. You even pretend that Jan 6th was just a "protest gone bad".

It was totally terrible how Hunter Biden used his position as an official in government to steer foreign investments toward his firm.

Oh wait.

And for that, he should be in prison, right?

But what Jerrod did was worse - because he had power to set US policy in favor of another country, as he was a top official of the administration.

Which Hunter was not. Quite different.

Trump isn't the President. Biden is. Neither Trump or Biden runs the DOJ. That's Merrick Garland. He has the authority to investigate these types of allegations. He should not fail to investigate a allegation solely because of what the President "might" do. That's not his job.

You are looking for excuses to look the other way on the one and demonize the other. Abuse of Power is wrong no matter who the abuser is and/or their party affiliation or family connections.

So investigate both. If either broke the law then indict and prosecute them like any other person.

Yep, and you should investigate a jaywalker the same way you'd investigate a mass murderer, right?

Because you really can't compare the two.

I would leave that decision to the Attorney General and not to a highly partisan ideologue. Again, you jump thru hoops to look the other way on abuse allegations when its a member of your party. I never did that with Republicans. I have always advocated for independent, through, unbiased investigation by professional law enforcement officers. Is this an example of your so called principles and ethics? Theft or abuse of power is okay as long as you don't profit more than X? How much does it take for you to look the other way?

no, you always lay down a line of bullshit. Nothing more.

You can't admit there's a difference between the two. But we never expected actual intelligence from you.

I didn’t say at anytime they were equal. I said investigate both. I can tell you that if the DOJ brings charges they won’t be misdemeanors. I’m perfectly okay with LE professionals handling the investigation and the charging decisions. Are you??

This whole analogy comparing murder to jaywalking is the line of bullshit. But here’s the deal. I am more than willing to support any measure that would prevent office holders and their families from profiting from their position. That includes the executive and legislative branches. But I won’t support a system where only one party is subject to the rules. I don’t believe you or anyone on your side can or would support a set of rules that applied to everyone equally regardless of party. You appear to like double standards and two set of rules.

Hunter is already under investigation despite your concerns about jaywalking. I have no problem whatsoever if the DOJ has evidence on Jared and wants to investigate him. Never had a problem with it and never will. You however will always run interference for your party guys no matter what the charge.

Yeah, the Russians did the job on Hunter, and you idiots bought it.

But Jared was a FUCKING TOP ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL, WHO SOLD HIS DECISIONS OFF.

This ISN'T influence peddling, this is FAR different.

One is "hey, give me money, maybe I'll put a word in for you" as opposed to "I'll do whatever you pay me to do."

There is family members and there are government officials. But you'll pretend there isn't a difference.

I pretend nothing. I merely support investigations of such allegations by independent minded professional law enforcement officials. I get you don’t like that idea because such a standard would take the politics out of law enforcement.

Hunter is being investigated by the DOJ. The "should" isn't a hypothetical; said investigation is underway.

So far, I haven't heard much from those investigations, other than that he may owe some child support and have cheated on his taxes. Possibly a past drug and alcohol problem. Dunno. Look, if he did the crimes, let him pay the times - or fines. Said that before. All I've said is I've not seen anything that implicates his father in any wrongdoing. As always, evidence is what I pay attention to. Show me some that isn't bogus or sketchy, I'll pay attention. I don't know who left the laptop at a blind guy's repair shop in DE or who it belongs to - all I know is there has been a long chain of bullshit on something where the chain of custody on it has become ridiculous at this point. You could tell me it contains a plot to assassinate Vermin Supreme. :roll:

I'm fine with things being investigated by independent professionals. I thought everybody agreed that's who Bob Mueller was. Then when he produced his report, people started lying about what's in it, or hand-waving it away. So it goes. Par for the course. IMHO, when Bob Mueller was asked in front of Congress, should Trump be impeached, he pretty much said, "yes, but that ball is in your court". I thought his testimony was pretty clear. Now, dunno, Bob Mueller is not a partisan Democrat, so I always kind of shrug when people say "Russiagate was a Democratic hoax". Uh ... really? Was Bob Mueller part of that?

Buh what about Hunter!? Is defending the Trumps. The entire Hunter Biden fiasco started with republicans dealing dirt with Kremlin operatives, and is linked to the same scheme and people that saw Trump impeached. That’s a fact.

Hunter Biden is not a politician or an employee of the WH. Jared was. Jared had high level security clearance. Making 2 billion dollars and 540 million while working in the WH is not equivalent.

And conservatives crying about Dems not being outraged about Hunter Biden should reread this then take a seat, because they sure aren’t outraged about Trump and his family’s utter corruption. It’s always attempting to normalize, ignore or move the posts. Notice how every time this is brought up they try to switch the topic to Hunter Biden? Crazy Rudy Giuliani is laughing.

The GOP constantly projects their corruption.

It’s also interesting that during a world oil crisis linked to Russia, MBS and the Saudis, who are obvious partners with The Trumps, refuse to pump more oil.
