    I honestly do not know or care really. The Clinton Global Initiative raked in tons of money from a whole list of shady players and countries. Crony capitalism. Both sides play it.

    That charity has a good (B+) rating. What charity is Jared’s 2 billion going to and what is its rating? Can’t be the trump foundation as it was shut down for fraud and trump and his children are prohibited from serving on the boards of charitable organizations in NY

    Clinton Foundation

    The claims of “both sides do it” so often fall when when they can’t come up with any examples of the other side doing it.!

    Maybe, maybe not, but that's irrelevant considering his improper dealings with Saudi Arabia and Qatar from which he received obvious benefits occurred when he represented the administration of his father-in-law, a REPUBLICAN president.

    No, not really. I’m a human being. I’m not here just to re-post Fox News narratives.

    No sir. If Hunter worked as a WH employee and was able to use it to swindle 2 billion then he would need to be investigated too

    I'm all for House Repubs investigating Hunter for the next 2 years nonstop. That will play great to their base and no one else.

    This issue is bigger than that whiny b**ch Kushner
    That’s the reason no public official involved in policy should be allowed to own any individual stock while in office; retain any position after office for 10 years in any industry their policy had any influence on. They can never serve as a lobbyist; work in any related business to lobbying. Actually all lobbyists and private funding of elections need to be eliminated. Public funds for every office. $100mm for any top 5 presidential candidate up to primary; $500mm for each candidate for president in general. Eliminate legal bribery.

    And here is the “nothing to see here” defense.

    Right on schedule

    Maybe because there is, in fact, "nothing to see". Among those obsessed with Hunter's laptop a big deal has been made of the meeting that he was supposedly arranging between the Chinese businessman who provided him with gifts and the "Big Guy" presumably Joe Biden keeping in mind that the meeting even if it did occur and it apparently never happened would have occurred in 2018. Last time I checked the presidency and both Houses of Congress were controlled by Republicans at the time. Maybe it's just me but I really don't think a former Democrat vice president would have much influence over policy in a government completely controlled by the other party.

    What am I missing here? Generally, there are only two ways to invest in an investment company; one either opens an account or buys in as a principal. Either way is legit. Now is the allegation that the Saudis gave Jared $2B and they don’t have an investment account or an ownership position?
