The Art of the Deal: Jared Kushner’s Hacked Phone Revealed His Secret Negotiations—Including More Than $700 Million in Transfers • How bank accounts linked the president’s son-in-law—and former senior adviser—to Israel, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.
Americans are dóciles and lazy. As a American, the president can rape and murder children, start endless wars and take endless amounts of money but half of the country still supports this fool. If you ever wondered how the Nazi arose to power, take a look at us!
Hmmm. Weirdly accented foreign word instead of standard English word. Can't use a/an correctly. Correct use of millennial/GenX blacksploitation slang. Using fusty, archaic verb instead of the normal one that everyone knows.
Gonna take a guess that this person is not actually an American.
You seeing this is a problem. Half of Americans still support Donald Trump despite all of everything that's going on. I don't quite care or I don't have any interest in proving to you that I'm american, but the fact that you're not able to acknowledge my valid talking point it's pretty evident of the problem in our society. There is no Reaching Across the aisle, we need to treat these people like the traitors fiscally irresponsible pieces of shit they are.
I'm probably more lefty than you, and my comment history is visible.
Whether or not you're the fake account I think you are, your comments here demonstrate that you're looking to be an angry partisan and not comment on the article.
That's just something you made up, and whether or not it's true you still have an addressed my talking points. So, when is it ever usual for an American to speak one language? It is a melting pot, and people speak several languages at a time. Okay now that we've gotten through this weird barrier, you have to acknowledge that a majority of this country are pieces of shit that voted for Donald Trump and are still okay with what happened with Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
>One way to view what Kushner did with the Alpha account is to imagine him as the director of the CIA. Had he been running the government entity that managed and ran secret foreign programs, maintaining the account, again, with presidential approval and congressional disclosure, Kushner’s conduct would have been within his job’s responsibilities. But he was not the director of the CIA, whose position is approved by the Senate and whose operations are overseen and accountable to Congress.
Dutch intelligence agencies gained access to the data through the GRU. And they believe it’s fake.
The “Hunter’s laptop” narrative came from Alexander Smirnov, an FBI informant who was arrested for working with the GRU.
Both stories are Russian propaganda narratives originating from the GRU. Neither narrative include anyone verifying that any of the data is what they’re claiming it is. They’re running the same ops over and over again.
Jared was raised in a family of professional extortionists. He knows not to crime on his cell phone. There’s no way he’s running a transnational criminal syndicate with heads of state via text messages.
He's using a private equity firm that he runs to launder the money, Affinity Partners. Now keep in mind he had no prior experience managing private equity when the Saudis deposited $2 billion into the firm. Now Affinity Partner's assets have ballooned to $6 billion. US foreign policy for sale!
If you read the whole article, it's kinda funny how many complications he had on these accounts, all to avoid him being directly implicated. On one of them, every transaction had to wait for Netanyahu to personally review it before it could go through.
All while illegally negotiating on behalf of the United States government without having been nominated, vetted, and confirmed by the US Senate. He is not even a government employee. He cannot legally represent the United States in diplomatic talks as a private citizen.

There is no claim to be American in the post. Comprehension issue.

Try reading it again slowly.
For a start you have just concatenated two separate sentences.
retrojoe | 57 minutes ago
A) those are phrases
B) they are separate, not concatenated.
Again, someone has a comprehension issue. Further, the commenter claims to be an American in their replies.

Throw him in jail. Remove him from Ukraine negotiations. Kushner is a criminal like his dad.
