Comrade Jared
Okay, so why would Jared need a back channel to Russia and want to conduct business from the Russian Embassy?
Oh, I dunno.
Unless maybe you owe the Chinese $250 million and no US banks will loan you money. Then you might need to talk to someone.
The Kushner family real estate company is seeking a $250 million loan to pay back Chinese investors in a New Jersey luxury tower but finding some major U.S. banks wary of the controversies around its White House links and the visa program used to attract the investors.
Thanks to s gray for the heads up.
This is a helluva base for a knock-knock joke!
Knock, knock!
Who’s there?
Jared!
Who?
1That should make for a great docudrama in the style of John Wick: an American criminal syndicate headed by Jared Kushner (who has a position in the White House and is in cahoots with the president) cons a loan from the Russian government criminal syndicate in order to pay back a set of foreign “investors” who may have to hire a different criminal syndicate to get their money back. In the end, all the players are eliminated because John Wick hates traitors (and they dissed his dog).
2Been away no wifi, it was nice . Came home and found out it was not a dream, admittedly this would all make for a very good book though. A real page turner…what can the crime family be up to next? They even have a special handshake/hug. Most people reading that book would say ” that could never happen here in the USA” sounds like more of a Russian family…oops!
3What you are touching on here is the real reason Trump (or someone in his inner circle) wants to quash any Russian-interference investigation.
If the Russians did interfere (all evidence so far says they did) it is very unlikely the Trump campaign did anything illegal. Of course it would be another bruise to Trump’s ego but the campaign itself can be guiltless.
What there really is to hide that would be uncovered by the investigation is the degree to which Trump’s business interests are in hock to Russian money sources. Almost all of them are friends of Putin if not outright controlled by them. Given what is publicly know about Trump’s dicey business past is that he must be highly leveraged just about everywhere to someone, and that someone is not any U.S. based bank.
I would bet money that those Russian interests can pull the plug on all of Trump enterprises anytime they want and Jared/Trump knows it. Their only defense is that if they do they lose the power to do so in the future. This is what will eventually come to light.
I am a bit surprised to see China involved but not much.
4Oy. The plot is thickening so fast it’s turning to concrete! I believe this is the same building where the Kushners claimed it was being built in a “poor” area that got them some millions from the federal government to build. Truth is they lied on the proposal and cherry picked the data to back up their claim. Folks, buy stock in popcorn. The Kushners of DieNasty is going to be a hit show.
5What?? Corruption in the Kushner empire??? Who’d a thunk it??
6Hmmm . . . Jared is in need of some major capital right quick, as the gang to which he owes big money is about to put the squeeze on him.
Don’t worry, I saw this in a movie once.
All Jared has to do is get into the high-stakes poker game the Casino Royale in Montenegro and, um, win.
Ivanka can bring the digitalis to slip into Bond’s drink.
It’s a great plan. What could go wrong?

7From the first I’ve thought that Frump’s refusal to release his taxes had a lot to do with loans to his businesses…Putin and Oligarchs have him on a string – like a puppet!! Russians are good at these scenarios. At this point I imagine his business assets are in a hole. The Trump family huckstering has reached a new level – they ARE their brand and are genetically stuck in the shill routine! See national ad pushing Trump properties and, oh by the way, Trump IS president. Conflict of interest is too mild a term for these shenanigans.
8Dump & Co. is financially beholden to Russia, which his tax returns will show, and the plan was for Dump to become President to pay back the Kremlin bankers and lift the sanctions. In turn, Russia made sure Dump was elected and you can bet that Dump & Co knew about it and approved.
