Uh oh. Is this another one of those foreign contacts Jared âforgotâ on his security form?
I urge everyone to note the careful, lawyerly claim that Kushner âdidnât rely onâ Russian financing.
If he could have claimed that he neither solicited nor accepted any Russian financing, he would have done so.
âDidnât rely onâ leaves open the possibility that he sought and received big money from Russian sources, but will try to say he wasnât ârelying onâ that financing since he had other financing options as well.
Looks to me like his lawyers were careful to leave a loophole that they could later drag a Russian freighter full of laundered rubles through, if need be. Could be because they already know theyâll have to, or could be because they just know they canât trust their client to tell them the whole truth up front.
Like father like son like father in law like son in lawâŚ
That was the thing I noticed when reading accounts of the statement this morning.
Can you imagine a city alderman somewhere defending himself at a town meeting from accusations over bribes on a major city land deal by saying he didnât ârelyâ on bribery funds to pay off the home mortgage on his mansion?
Hâd be lucky to make it out the door without being lynched, yet Kushner strolls out today and piously proclaims his innocence moments after testifying in secret. Itâs utterly disgusting.
Trying to follow the path here⌠Kushner buys $290 million dollar Russian owned property, then takes out a $285 loan from Deutche-bank to refinance the deal.
So his too clever-by-half statement was he was it was ostensible âGermanyâ money (which came from who knows where, Russia?) that was financing his deal to buy Russian-owned property?
From Vanity Fair a few days back:
Apart from the Trumps and Kushners, Deutsche Bank also has deep ties to Russia. In addition to settling allegations earlier this year that it allowed $10 billion to be laundered out of Eastern Europe, Deutsche Bank had a âcooperation agreementâ with Vnesheconombank, a Russian state-owned development bank that is the target of U.S. economic sanctions. Vnesheconombank, for those who need a refresher, was the bank whose chief executive, Sergey Gorkov, Jared Kushner forgot to mention meeting in December.
No wonder Trump is freaking out about Mueller digging into family businesses âoutside of the Russia investigationâ which it now appears, might very well end up being explicitly âinsideâ the Russia investigation, to say nothing of just plain-old criminal money laundering done by the First (Mob) Family.
So the Munsters, oops I mean the Trumpsters think this interview and presser will end this investigation? Maybe their lemmings will believe it but Mr. Mueller wonât rely on it. The Senate committee under their Republican chairman wonât go too deeply into this but no one expects them to. The legal bills for Trump and Kushner are mounting and they are getting nervous. Keep the faith people.
Yes. They are not nearly as clever or smart as they think they are. The forensic teams will be able to unravel the knots.
The U.S. settled its case against Prevezon and associated companies in May for a scant $6 million.
AFTER Trumpfie fired Preet Bharara. Donât forget that part.
Whatever Kushner has done or is doing, this article only offers evidence that he ârelied onâ Deutsche Bank funds for this particular deal. The rest of the article is guilt by association, as if people in business only deal with certified saints. Whatâs really going on here is 1) a continuation of the U.S.âs propaganda war against Russia, something Hillary had pledged to make hot, and 2) the Democrat supportersâ attempts to get rid of Trump, a campaign which has yet to be joined by the much of the ruling class, which is or stands to benefit from Trumpâs policies.
And a key witness suddenly died. From Business Insider back in May:
Nikolai Gorokhov, a lawyer representing Magnitskyâs family, was able to photograph documents contained in a Russian case file targeting two people involved in the $230 million scheme that traced the money to Russia.
Gorokhov mysteriously fell from a window in Moscow just over a month before he was due to testify in the Prevezon case.
Nice try.
Before I left for Italy last May, I was keeping count of how many people in this web had been killed and I was up to a dozen.
Lawyers going off roofs, etc.
Those Reelection Campaign donors are the chumps paying for those legL BILLS. Let the bills go sky high. Iâm sure the Trumps and Kushners can pad those bills with ârelatedâ expenses (ârentâ in Trump properties for legal conferences??) to make money on this gambit as well as avoid their personal legal liabilities. Go for it, GOP donors!
though, theyâre not really trying too hard if theyâre using the word âDemocratâ as an adjective.
That particular troll has been waging a three-year long jihad against Democrats, President Obama and capitalism.
Jared Kushner is in a lot of trouble. I will bet that there are more Kushner/ Russia meetings that the FBI knows about.
Totally spot on. âDidnât rely onâ couldnât be a more loaded, slippery phrase. Itâs all starting to crash down on the Trump Crime Family and the crooked players are scrambling to lawyer up and/or prepare to cut deals. Quietly, behind the scenes, Bob Mueller is gathering evidence that should eventually put these con men in orange jump suits.
You forgot to add that the Russia investigations are part of the Democratic war on white people.
Thatâs a rookie error, well beneath your abilities.
You have to get a good warmup before you troll.
