    If "the other side did it" it has to be corruption. Oldest play in politics... both side do it.

    Absolutely but you don’t see it as hypocritical to ride hunter for grifting maybe 10 million while the trumps sold access to the White House when they were occupying the White House and pocketed at least 3 billion dollars. Probably closer to 5 billion if we are going to really look into it.

    So Kushner should get the same level of investigations Hunter is getting? You know, fair and balanced.

    Kushner’s Affinity Gets Additional $1.5 Billion From Qatar, Abu Dhabi’s Lunate

    Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners raised an additional $1.5 billion from the Qatar Investment Authority and Abu Dhabi-based asset manager Lunate, and extended the investment period of its debut fund to 2029. “We preemptively tried to avoid any conflicts, so we don’t have to raise capital for the next four years,” Kushner said on a podcast episode of Invest Like The Best with Patrick O’Shaughnessy, co-founder of venture capital firm Positive Sum, released Friday.

    Kushner said he spoke to investors about potentially raising additional capital in February and closed on the funds before the election. Investors liked that the Miami-based firm, founded in 2021, “went slow” during its first two years so adding two more to its investment horizon was “easy for them to do,” he added.

    Affinity’s investors agreed to the extension and the new commitments “irrespective of what the outcome was,” Kushner said, referencing the US presidential election, which his father-in-law, Donald Trump, won last month.

    “I made very clear to them that in the event that Trump was elected, that they should not expect anything from me,” Kushner said, adding Affinity’s investors initially committed in 2021 when Trump’s political future was unclear.

    That was not making money on the Stock Market, that was selling favors to a dangerous communist country, maybe even on behalf of Biden... FAR DIFFERENT ANIMAL.

    I do not think we will not find out for sure until the mid-2030's but I'm willing to bet that this has to do with the Oct 7th attack and the impact to Israel's economy.

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar gave the Clinton Foundation tens of millions of dollars and got America to start wars in Syria and Libya

    FWIW, I never liked Kushner and I thought Ivanka would negatively impact the Trump administration

    Except you have everything but one tiny, almost inconsequential thing......EVIDENCE.

    How odd they extended it to 2029. What happens then of significance?

    i would imagine that the investment opportunities to rebuild Syria and Gaza are going to be enormous once the dust settles. who is going to manage all that international aid that will flow over the next 3 - 4 years?

    We know it is not going to be UNRWA.

    Would assume it might be the Arab League. They will want to ensure Iran and their proxies do not get back in.

    Compared to a typical Donald Trump real estate investment, that one wasn't too bad. The real question is: did Kushner rob his own company as it descended into bankruptcy? And did he get to keep the gold toilets?
