    @basso @Os Trigonum @tinman not sure how I beat you to this. I even gave you a day.



    And lol, how corrupt do you have to be to have the Saudis saying "himm this guy is unsatisfactory and risky"? That's really something.

    But the difference is that, unlike Hunter, Jared was never in a position of power over decision making or had a job in the President's administration. So while Jared might have tried to use his family connection to gain money, he wasn't in a place where he could influence actual policy... Oh wait, scratch that, reverse it.

    perhaps I'm missing something- this happened after Trump left office, correct?

    Didn't the Hunter Biden Laptop stuff happen after Biden was out of office?

    Just when I think they can't pretzel anymore.

    What relevant events?

    The narrative about what was on these laptops.

    We know Jarred was soliciting funds while Trump was in office and when Jarred was a official advisor.

    He also got loans from the Saudis while Trump was in office, so that seems very relevant, and then 2 billion dollars later.

    Do you not see the relevancy?

    So I'm assuming you believe Trump isn't running for office in 2024?

    Our relationship with Saudi has for a long time been a bipartisan one, hopefully, this will change soon, or being even more hopeful, it would be great if both parties distance the countries.

    Those Saudi loans were super sketch. No doubt there was some quid pro quo with that loan.

    Didn't the relevant events of Kushner associating with the Prince occur while Trump was president?

    Ah yes, the old "it's not a bribe if you take payments after you did the corrupt act" defense.

    I'm sure there's appetite for a grand jury to investigate this.

    Investigate what? Most of this is public record/stuff that actually happened - this isn't right wing/Putin fever swamp nonsense about missing Ukranian servers and stolen elections that you and UberMensch7Z7Z post about over on Gab or whatever.
