Official Trump Swamp Thread: Still Corrupt as Fuck

Trump Adviser Jared Kushner Didn’t Disclose Startup Stake

Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, didn’t identify on his government financial disclosure form that he is currently a part-owner of a real-estate finance startup and has a number of loans from banks on properties he co-owns, according to securities filings.

Mr. Kushner’s stake in Cadre—a tech startup that pairs investors with big real-estate projects—means the senior White House official is currently a business partner of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and billionaires including George Soros and Peter Thiel, according to people close to the company.

The Cadre stake is one of many interests—and ties to large financial institutions—that Mr. Kushner didn’t identify on his disclosure form, according to a Wall Street Journal review of securities and other filings. Others include loans totaling at least $1 billion, from more than 20 lenders, to properties and companies part-owned by Mr. Kushner, the Journal found. He has also provided personal guarantees on more than $300 million of the debt, according to the analysis.

You have to really be used to not being held accountable to omit publicly available info on your disclosures. Also, lol at:

Cadre also secured a $250 million line of credit from the family office of George Soros, a top Democratic donor whom Mr. Trump criticized during his presidential campaign, the people close to the company said. Mr. Soros’s family office is also an investor in Cadre.
 

probably for when he visits his club in some podunk NJ town this summer after M-a-L shuts down for the season. there was a piece on NPR about it...M-a-L is at least near a large city in WPB, but this little NJ village is like Andy and Barney.
 
 
Why would anybody take advice about working hard and balancing life from someone who doesn't really have to do either?
 
In a Beijing ballroom, Kushner family flogs $500,000 ‘investor visa’ to wealthy Chinese

In the ballroom of the Ritz-Carlton on Saturday, Chinese investors were advised to invest sooner rather than later in case the rules change. “Invest early, and you will invest under the old rules,” one speaker said.

The woman identified as “Jared’s sister” was believed to be Nicole Kushner, who is involved in the family business, not Dara Kushner, who generally stays out of the spotlight. But the woman’s face was not clearly visible from the back of the ballroom, where reporters were told to remain.

Saturday’s event in Beijing was hosted by the Chinese company Qiaowai, which connects U.S. companies with Chinese investors. The tagline on a brochure for the event: “Invest $500,000 and immigrate to the United States.”
 
Something about emails and uranium.
 
 
"He has" doesn't mean as much as "He had" or "His children have."
 
I agree that the World Bank is pretty bad but the it is still quite a few cuts above the Clinton Foundation. Come on, the Clinton Foundation?

How dare the Clinton Foundation provide tens of millions of mosquito nets that have helped to dramatically drop the level of malaria!

How dare the Clinton Foundation millions of doses of anti-virals that have people live with HIV/AIDS!

How dare the Clinton Foundation provide millions of dollars for micro-loans in poor countries to help people become self-sufficient!

How dare the Clinton Foundation support tens of thousands of farmers!

How dare the Clinton Foundation open schools for girls who could never go to school before!

How dare the Clinton Foundation be rated as one of the most efficient charities by the gold standard of rating systems- Charity Navigator (https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=16680 )!

"The Trump administration, in a significant escalation of its clash with the government’s top ethics watchdog, has moved to block an effort to disclose any ethics waivers granted to former lobbyists who have work in the White House or federal agencies.

The latest conflict came in recent days when the White House, in a highly unusual move, sent a letter to Walter M. Shaub Jr., the head of the Office of Government Ethics, asking him to withdraw a request he had sent to every federal agency for copies of the waivers. In the letter, the administration challenged his legal authority to demand the information.

Dozens of former lobbyists and industry lawyers are working in the Trump administration, which has hired them at a much higher rate than the previous administration. Keeping the waivers confidential would make it impossible to know whether any such officials are violating federal ethics rules or have been given a pass to ignore them."
