  1. No questions really – just a giant grift in plain site.

  3. Wasn’t this years ago? Yeah we know these people are corrupt. That’s one of many reasons why many of us don’t want his father-in-law in the White House again.

  4. Call it the “Journalist Dismemberment Commemorative Fund”.

  5. Raises questions from people who have already been asking questions about his other dirty money schemes. I’m so fucking tired of corruption but conservatives seem to think it’s the only thing keeping the country together.

  6. What about Jared’s and Trump-pardoned criminal Charles Kushner’s ongoing real estate partnership with Bibi Netanyahu? Just a big nothingburger?

  7. Yeah, like why the Feds aren’t giving it intense scrutiny.

  8. Yes 

    And why had no one been asking those questions until now? 

  9. No one does anything about it due, the House of Saud has a shit-ton of property in the DMV and is in the pocket of more reps and officials than people are willing to admit has long since been the norm.

  10. Kushner is such a missed opportunity for Democrats. Imagine if every time an interviewer brings up Harris working at McDonalds, they responded with:

    >Harris preferred to work for the people of this great country, rather than outsource to Wahhabi Saudi terrorists like Donald Trump and his family

  11. So my middle of the road portfolio earned 22% in the last 12 months while this jackwagon returned nothing. Either he’s as bad at investing as his FIL is in running businesses (see how to bankrupt multiple casinos / a feat once thought to be impossible) or it was just a bribe and they never intended to get a return. Oh, wait; I think that was the point all along. /s for all you Poe’s Law proving troglodytes.

  13. I’m pretty confident that everyone already gets the gist of it.

  15. > Jared Kushner’s strange Saudi-backed fund raises a whole lot of questions

    Questions it seems no one is trying to answer.

  16. 2 million dollars a week for being a middle man…that’s one kushy deal.

  18. Why this isn’t being investigated at the highest levels of government? Because, like Lester Freamon said “…you start to follow the money, you don’t know where the fuck it’s gonna go.”

  19. Why hasn’t Garland investigated if there is anything “there”?

  20. Questions that no one seems to bother investigating. Invite Saudis to golf at Mar-A-Largo, have Trump family attend, give Jared billions based off experience he doesn’t have…

  21. I keep seeing these headlines, but there’s no investigation being done. So why bother at all.

  22. Lol. Media streisanding its own incompetence seems appropriate.

  23. Funny how those “investors” haven’t seen any profits despite the billions he was given. 🧼💵🧺

  24. Does anyone know what the fee rate is? And what the investment strategy is (public equities?)?

  25. Oh really, apparently Captain Obvious has recently joined the MSNBC team. Everyone knew this – for fucking years. People have been screaming about the insane level of corruption here for fucking years.

    Things that you actually could have reported on, dear MSNBC. Watching you become someone’s bitch is something else man.

  26. Questions like “who gave all this money to that porcelain village boy?”

  29. The Trump crime family has proven *conclusively* that US national security is a paper tiger.

  30. Yet another evil character in trump world. He should be examined with microscope every evil move he makes for the rest of his life

  31. There’s a verb tense issues here, it would be raised a whole lot of questions. When it happened, idk, 5 years ago. The media was too busy holding democrats to different standards.

  32. It’s not just the $3B in foreign investment funds to a real estate developer with no formal education or work experience but also the $1.8B foreign funds bailout on his underwater properties.

    Didn’t Ivanka get something like 18 trademarks granted from China after Trump was elected?

  33. It is pretty surprising that this corrupt piece of shit can sell out the names of US secret spies and potentially being directly responsible in their deaths and he managed to get away with this crime.

  35. The Slender Man helped MBS purge resistance in the Royal family, assisted in his assassination of a NY Times journalist, and likely provided him intelligence on our nuclear technology. MSNBC should just check in with Reddit once and awhile to keep abreast of stuff.

  38. Tired of hearing about this fucking family, holy shit

    PLEASE can we put their asses out to pasture in November?

  39. I’m curious if the continuing substantial Saudi investment in his venture, generating millions in fees, was payback for some substantial past service to the Saudis on Jared’s part, or paying forward for future influence and/or benefit if Trump returns to the WH. It certainly isn’t due to performance. Sadly, I doubt we or history will ever know the details.
