Actually, Jared's business is $2.8 Billion dollars in the hole, still losing buckets of money daily, and his line of credit has run out.

He's been talking to the Russians to try to get a bail-out for well over a year, since before Trump's campaign began. Including Russia's top espionage agent here in the U.S., but not restricted to just him. He's been talking to others in Moscow ever more.

But Jared hasn't just talked to the Russians- he's been coming hat in hand to the Arabs too, and is looking for anyone he can find to bail him out.

And that's why he's being suspected of hanky-panky. It's a tad bit more than a political witch hunt, brother. The CIA has been tracking him for 18 months or more.

Ivanka will give him a quick peck on the cheek, thanks Hon for doing this for daddy, I won't forget you. I bring the kids by once the heat dies down..... Fade to sunset.

This gang at the White House is just fleecing for all they can possibly get. It's got to stop
The only thing Trump is concerned about is whatever it is the Russians are holding over his head. I hope Mueller is getting close to figuring it out what that is.

Did you know he's the president's son-in-law and has had the run of the White House? And set himself up as some sort of Middle East peace envoy? And managed to get $500,000,000 in loans from people he met with in the White House?

Who gives a rat's ass if he's labeled a Democrat? He didn't do any of that crap working for Obama.

He skirted that by simply putting the companies in his kids' name but obviously they still have his finger prints all over them and he will regain control when he leaves office. He could very well make decisions in office that would benefit his companies, that's obvious and the very reason these laws exist to try to prevent that.
Mr. Trump 'cut his teeth', so to speak, by bribing foreign officials in order to expand Trump Org.

For decades.

Many of his business holdings, including the overseas ones, consist of 'shell companies' specifically set up in order to hide or obfuscate the white collar crime ~ bribes to foreign government officials, money laundering (even of the 'head in the sand' type), tax sheltering, & so on.

Fr'instance, one example: "President Donald Trump told Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that American businesses were being unfairly penalized by federal laws prohibiting the bribing of foreign officials ..."

Trump told Tillerson that American businesses should be able to bribe foreign officials - Business Insider

The "federal laws" he's referring to above are the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enacted by the US Congress in 1977.

Mr Trump's MO 'business practices' don't sit so well with more legitimate & ethical business folks. Also why US banks stopped doing business with him & why he had to go overseas for business loans.

& you're right ~ he hasn't divested his interests, & he hasn't avoided the conflicts. Putting the businesses in the kids names, letting them run them while claiming to 'have his head in the sand' re: operations, etc. does not fool anyone. Actually it's par for the course for those who attempt to skirt the FCPA, it's a very obvious 'red flag' if it comes down to investigation.

The FCPA is to international business practices as the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution is to best practice anti corruption in the White House.

Jarad's interest is politics is confined to how he can use it for personal gain. He'll call himself whatever ever it takes to use the contacts his father-in-law handed him on a gold platter.

I must say, during my lifetime I thought the family of Jimmy Carter were the worst 'first family' of any President, but the Trumps have grabbed the crown.

...Kushner's divestment from his family's company before taking a job in the White House was limited. He allowed his brother to oversee his assets and transferred a trust to his mother, rather than removing his financial interests from his family. According to government ethics filings, he still holds as much as $761 million in real estate and other investments. ...
Like Father-in-law like Son ...

Asking if we knew he was a Democrat comes from someone clearly picking party over country. As has been show we don't CARE that he's one of us. We only care about right or wrong and getting to the truth regardless of party. It would be nice if the Trump Cult felt the same way, instead they are only interested in protecting their hero and that's just wrong.

Democrat?

I don't care if he's my brother-in-law Bob, he's ordering up all this intelligence, reportedly way more than members of the National Security Council, and using it for God knows what.

The only thing he has accomplished this past year are loans to keep his albatross office building in NYC afloat.
