We can't get rid of Kushner.  Rex Kramer and JOhnny Sack will have nothing to jerk off to.  I've been there during Shelter in Place with no wi-fi.  It's a dark place.

Kush’s greatest accomplishment was banging ivanka. In Trumps eyes, he hung the moon 

His greatest accomplishment was being born into a family way more wealthy than the Trumps and gaining control of the family business as a twenty-something when his criminal father was sent to jail by Chris Christie.

I appreciate Rick Wilson and all, but at the end of the day he’s basically a swift boater.  

This and I am getting tired of these cryptic tweets that never go anywhere. This shit started with Anonymous -- when was the last time they ever carried out one of their threats to ruin some asshole? -- and it just keeps on going. Always, some "big day" coming around the corner.

I’m pretty sure most of us were aware of Kushner’s ties to Qatar long ago and how they helped bail him out of his 666 5th Ave boondoggle. 

Yeah, that's common knowledge.  I'm not aware of anything criminal about it, but it's bad optics and compromises him as a governmental figure.

This congressional letter lays it out

Qatar declined to rescues property because it makes no sense financially 

Trumps reverses and goes against State and DoD to now support Saudi blockade of Qatar 

Magically, an investment firm linked to Qatar bails out Kushner property 

Weird

Khashoghi’s family needs to go after him

 

I read an article that the family was talking about suing Kushner and that he wants to settle to avoid the publicity. He invited them to meet at the Saudi consulate in Turkey to hash out a settlement.

Nothing suspicious at all about communicating via WhatsApp with the Crown Prince in the months leading up to the "disappearance" of Khashoggi. Nor sitting with attorney Greenstein while interviewing national security, ambasaddor, intell, and other sensitive positions during the transition period while suffering from an enormous conflict of interest--namely Greenstein being the President of Genie Energy at the time, (bombing Syria directly benefited Genie Energy as well as Kushner, Trump, and Netanyahu. Too much detail to go into, but anything Kushner and Trump touch in the ME is per usual, part of their criminal enterprise.

Thanks for that. If you had put a gun to my head and asked me, I would have told you the bailout of 666 occurred prior to Trump's election.  Bad recall.

What could have possibly gone wrong.

 

https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/17/22888225/jared-kushner-us-treasury-mnuchin-government-federal-cryptocurrency-trump-white-house

 

Quote

Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law who acted as a senior advisor during Trump’s time in the White House, was apparently interested in the idea of whether the federal government should make a cryptocurrency in 2018. In an email to then-US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Kushner asked if he could have a group of people “brainstorm” about the government creating its own digital currency, as revealed by a Freedom Of Information Act request from CoinDesk.

 

Quote

While we haven’t seen the idea come to fruition, it’s interesting that someone who had a lot of status in the White House (and also acted as the director for the Office of American Innovation) was thinking about it years ago. 

Here’s the email in full:

 

Quote

Steven —

Would you be open to me bringing a small group of people to have a brainstorm about this topic?

http://blog.samaltman.com/us-digital-currency

My sense is it could make sense and also be something that could ultimately change the way we pay out

entitlements as well saving us a ton in waste fraud and also in transaction costs...

 

Spoiler

The link included by Kushner goes to a 2018 blog post titled “US Digital Currency,” which was written by Sam Altman, a former president of startup incubator Y Combinator and currently the CEO of OpenAI. The post discusses how the US should create a cryptocurrency and make it legal tender in the country. (While it suggests naming the coin USDC, for US Digital Currency, there actually is currently a stablecoin named USDC, short for US Dollar Coin, but that it wasn’t created by the government.) Altman’s post suggests that the US cryptocurrency could have taxes built-in and that building it could help give America “some power over a worldwide currency.” 

For his part, Kushner suggests it could be a way to cut down on waste, fraud, and transaction costs when paying out entitlements. The outcome of his request is unclear — the emails don’t show whether Mnuchin ever responded, or if there was ever a meeting about the idea.

The government hasn’t been ignoring cryptocurrency in the time since Kushner sent the email. The IRS and the treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network have been active in monitoring the crypto space, as well as trying to get legislation passed on crypto data collection and regulation. Mnuchin’s emails also reveal that the US Treasury had meetings with executives from several companies that deal in cryptocurrency, including Coinbase, Jack Dorsey’s Square (now Block), and Xapo Bank.

While the US doesn’t have an official digital currency, there are other countries that do. Bitcoin is now an official currency in El Salvador, alongside the US dollar, and China has introduced a digital yuan, though it’s not based on the blockchain. Venezuela established its own cryptocurrency called the Petro in 2018 (in 2019, Mnuchin emailed two other Treasury secretaries, saying they should discuss the country’s plans to use crypto for international commerce), though the currency doesn’t seem to have been particularly successful, and Trump banned Americans from buying it during his tenure as president. 

While it doesn’t seem like we’ll be getting an official US cryptocurrency anytime soon, there was one last thing I noticed while reading through the trove of emails that Coinbase obtained; Mnuchin got some truly eyebrow-raising spam about crypto while heading the treasury (that may be one of the few things I have in common with him). My favorite was one from someone who... I think was claiming to represent all of humanity? The subject line reads “Bitcoin Is Unrecognized By The Central Government Of The World (On Which We Live): The True Creator Of Bitcoin (In The Said World) Can Be Known.”

The documents don’t show if Mnuchin ever responded to that one. You can read the full cache of emails CoinDesk obtained right here, if you’re so inclined.

If true, isn't that treason?

Probably not.

Quote

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2381

The wording indicates, and the interpretations agree, that treason is a wartime offense and maybe even only formally declared war (the Constitution arguably does not contemplate any other kind of "war").

So, we'd need to be at war (with SA or anyone else) and the acts complained of either constitute levying war or aiding/comforting enemies in that war.

So, we can, for the most part, stop talking about treason in relation to the Trumps.

It would, however, violate a number of provisions of the "Espionage Act" and other provisions dealing with "classified" material.

I can’t believe we let a manchild pretend to play President while he let his kids and in-laws run wild and take on roles they’re grossly grossly under qualified for. They then of course did everything the GQP accuses Hunter Biden of doing but to the fucking max, sold out classified shit, played politics with federal funds and god knows what else. But not a single fucking republican cares. Just fucking astonishing to me. We’ve let aggys take over the country

Gonna need a bit more info than a tweet from some rando.

It’s probably based on this opinion piece saying MBS’s $2 Billion in Kushner’s business sure looks like payback. It doesn’t provide any actual evidence, but come on, we know criminal syndicates operate.

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/jared-kushner-s-deal-saudi-arabia-sure-looks-corrupt-n1294342

It was long suspected that Mushner shared intelligence with MBS before he rounded up a lot of other Saudi Royals as he consolidated his power. It’s also been extensively reported that the CIA objected to Kushner getting top security clearance because of his conflicts of interest and concern that he’d be a security risk but Trump just overrode their veto and gave it to him anyway.

We had a mob boss and his crime family running the US government. It’s insane.
