Jared Kushner said he wants to develop "waterfront property" in Gaza
He's inking multi-billion dollar deals with Serbia and Albania
He got billions from MBS
He extorted a billion from Qatar to save 666 5th Ave
His corruption is a 5-alarm fire and
The GOP just shrugs
That Jared Kushner has the nerve to blithely talk about building luxury condos on the backs of murdered Palestinians and pushing the survivors out is just absolutely beyond me.
Kurshner did a naval blockage of Qatar to force them to "invest" bailout his massive debt due on 666 building.
Kushners struggled to cover their debt on the troubled building since shortly after its purchase on the eve of the financial crisis. As Jared Kushner’s father-in-law, was running for President, the Kushners were pitching Qatari investors to force them bail out the building.
The Supreme Court Case Designed To Legalize Bribery
In the case of 🔸Snyder v United States,🔸 which the Supreme Court will hear on April 15th, James E. #Snyder is claiming that when a public official accepts a “#gift” from a person or corporation who has benefited from that public official’s actions, that should not be legally considered a #bribe.
Think of it instead as a “#tip,” like you’d leave for good service in a restaurant.🤔
Snyder is the former mayor of Portage, Indiana, who, federal prosecutors successfully argued in court, rigged a city bidding process for $1.125 million worth of new dump trucks to help out a friend who sold such trucks.
After the contract was awarded to his buddy, his friend’s company gave a “tip” to Snyder of $13,000.
Snyder is appealing his bribery conviction before the Supreme Court next month, and his main argument is that the federal #definition of #bribery must include an explicit advance agreement, a spoken or written #QuidProQuo, to exchange money or gifts for official actions.
And that all this explicit agreement stuff must happen #before the official acts are taken.
If five for all of the six Republicans on the Court agree with Snyder, it will end almost all federal bribery prosecutions of #corrupt elected officials and we’ll see an explosion of politicians anxious to fall all over themselves to “earn a tip” after they bow to their “friends” wishes.
(Katya Schwenk has written a great summary of the case and its implications for The Lever.)
"between 2017 and 2020 McSweeney failed to declare £730,000 in donations from a slew of millionaire businessmen, misreported and underreported other payments, and falsely assured supportive MPs that electoral law was being followed"
"Court records show the bond was guaranteed by Chubb Insurance. In 2018, Trump appointed Chubb’s CEO Evan Greenberg to a White House advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations."
