Kushner is laughing at the petty criminals like the Bidens and Trump
Really? What laws did Kushner break? The Saudi's invested in his real estate dealings. What law did he break?

I don't think Kushner broke any laws. He just did the exact same thing Hunter did. Sell political access/influence to benefit himself.
quote:
As the Times reported, the Saudi sovereign wealth fund agreed to funnel at least $2 billion to Kushner’s new firm, Affinity Partners. In return, the Saudis received not only nearly 40 percent of the firm’s regular management fees, but an additional “stake of at least 28 percent” of Kushner’s firm and recognition as a “cornerstone” investor in this new enterprise.
Those details alone would be enough to flip the deal from seedy to sordid. This is, after all, a regime that not only stands responsible for some of the most heinous crimes on the planet—including things like dismembering journalists and the ongoing carpet-bombing of Yemen—but which has launched one of the most successful whitewash operations in Washington. And now, it’s also one of the primary financial backers of a member of the former president’s inner circle, with a direct line to the leader of the Republican Party.
Yet the stench from Kushner’s deal doesn’t stop there. As The Intercept reported on Monday, the pitch from Kushner’s firm to its Saudi partners was as crooked as they come. Bookended by vapid corporate pablum (Kushner’s firm claimed it is “accelerating transformation through connectivity”), the firm’s pitch centered on Kushner’s former role in Trump’s White House and the kinds of political connections Kushner could offer Saudi partners. Centering on the “network” that Affinity would bring, Kushner’s firm did little more than point to contacts in the Trump orbit as a reason for investment. “They said they’d never seen such a joke of a deck, openly talking about ‘networking’ and ‘networks’—i.e., our corrupt insider contacts,” one source connected to potential fund investors told The Intercept.
Indeed, the pitch itself was so void of content that the Saudi panel screening investments objected to the deal, citing, among other things, the “public relations risks” associated with bankrolling Kushner’s firm. Yet the panel was overruled by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund’s management, which included Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s leader and Kushner’s texting pal.

What legitimate business has Hunter owned or ran in his entire life?
The whataboutism is apples and oranges.

Charging trump for non crimes while dismissing clear crimes by Biden. You’re a disgusting person.

Correct.
And you have to believe that Saudi Investors are dumb enough to drop billions on the wing and a prayer that Trump gets elected again.

Not to mention Biden on camera bragging about it.

Of course it is. Any statement to the contrary is asinine.

They got them two days ago, dummy.

You support weaponized government. Hunter was getting 980k a year to be on Burismas board. Board members of Exxon get 280k. You support weaponization of government. You’re a disgusting person.

The job of the VP of the US is to get rid of a foreign prosecutor investigating his son?

It’s actually way worse. Selling Dept of State policy for kickbacks is the very definition of treason.

I was so appalled at this lack of logic in the preceding line that I speed past this doozy.
You believe that the bribe Hunter was seeking for Biden was for Biden to get rid of the prosecutor that would later investigate Hunter for soliciting the bribe?
Does your brain always operate like an episode of Quantum Leap?

So you knew they were corrupt but still voted for them, yet throw shade at the trumps?
Do you not get it already? The Obama admin was corrupt, you don’t then get to accuse everyone else of what y’all did for 8 years and then act on your high horse. That’s why no one on here likes liberals, well at least before y’all outed yourselves as pedo lovers.

Trump got impeached for trying to expose Bidens corruption.
And now he's being charged with espionage for legally taking his own papers regarding Crossfire Hurricane, a bogus operation based on a known fake Steel Dossier which was used to bury his 1st term in office with innuendo and outlandish claims of Russian collusion.
All of which was known to be made up and completely politically motivated.
“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office—that there’s no way he gets elected—but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40…”
In Strzok’s retelling of the discussions that he was referencing in the text, some were advocating for the FBI to move slowly — and not put the sensitive source who had provided information at risk — since Trump was not expected to win the election.
“What I’m saying is look we’re the FBI. We need to do our job. We need to go investigate,” he recalled Thursday of his sentiments in that text.
This is the same FBI which held onto Hunter's laptop for over year, before the 2020 election, and did absolutely nothing.
Same FBI which had the intel on Joe's bribery with Ukraine, and again, did nothing.
