Comer Doesn’t Have Plans To Look Into Kushner’s Saudi Business Deals

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) relied on the classic political cop out on a Sunday interview when asked if House Republicans will look into former President Donald Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s financial entanglements with the Saudis.

I saw this, I laughed… he started with “its all on the table” added some word salad while he thought of how he’d undo that then looped into saying Kushner was interviewed about something before so now it’s Hunter’s turn

Maybe Comer gets a cut?

Trump’s golf courses began hosting tournaments for LIV Golf, a professional golf tour financed by the Saudis.

An emolumental problem that should be investigated.

He [Comer] also suggested that Democrats had already investigated Kushner’s business dealings as part of the Jan. 6 investigation.

“The difference between Jared Kushner and Hunter Biden is that Jared Kushner actually sat down and was interviewed,” Comer said. “So, he’s already been investigated.”

Has the overwhelming privilege and invulnerability of the rich ever been more on display in our history? I suppose you have to go back to the robber barons to find this kind of blatant entitlement.

This kind of obvious out in the open corruption makes me want to quit reading the news.

We had a chance to stop this in 2016. Unfortunately, too many people on our side made Perfect The Enemy Of The Good.

I understand your feelings.

If there’s anything of substance to be discovered in the “Hunter Biden” “laptop” conspiracy, I have complete confidence that James Comer is too dumb to find it.

The Trump and Kushner crime families need an imminent comeuppance, legally and otherwise.

Comer is a major jackass. He doesn’t even pretend. He insisted Jared had already been ‘investigated’ which is why it was ALL ‘Hunter Biden’s laptop’. A blatant lie and he didn’t even flinch when he was called out on it.

The trustees of the so called sovereign wealth fund recommended against the Kushner deal. MBS went with it anyway.
Something doesn’t smell right.

Actually, camel dung smells like camel dung should. This has a more acrid aroma.

So who’s taking bets on when at least one of these allegedly zealous investigators of political corruption and self-dealers turns out that have engaged in such themselves, fairly recently and egregiously, and then on which one(s)? I say that the schoolyard saying about he who smelt it, dealt it, rings true here. And my guess is by summer, and basically all of them, Katie.

MBS doesn’t smell right, and I don’t just mean figuratively. He’s Sheik Hacksaw and Lye.

The investigation will be suspended when Comer can’t figure out how to turn on the computer.

They won’t/can’t investigate Jarvanka because they’d actually find something that would make the Guardians Of Plutocrats’ BFF Mister Bone Saws look bad.

They plan to build a Trump hotel in Oman as part of a $4 billion golf resort. Oman is one of the most desolate, waterless (other than the ocean, of course) places I’ve ever been. And the Sahara in Egypt.
