WoodfordCHNL No really ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

America is now a Gangland run by the biggest gangster/mob family - Trumps and entire gop is complicit!

A report from very mysterious anonymous sources of course

No shit

Oh, my...and so what? Anybody going to do anything about it? Nooooo!

Having a Security Clearance means having to report large increases and decreases in wealth. I few million would raise a huge red flag...unless...

They don’t care... no one is gonna do shit to them... let’s be real

But he looks so nice....and a little creepy. 'Corrupt Kushner' is what realDonaldTrump calls him.

sordid & sinister cravings of left kowtowing press reflected in hypocritical pitting of assumed rightwing allies. By quoting a Bush era puritan, it's calculated maximum damage delivery on people they hate. Intellectual pygmies on left dread Deal success

Prosecute him.

And nothing will be done about it ... crime does pay if you are in the Trump cartel

Concerns. Sigh...

Thick with deciet and thin with integrity...

Everyone knows the whole family are breaking the emolument laws since they entered the Whitehorse.

💰💰💰💰💰

We have serious questions about Joe Biden’s son getting a billion dollar loan from China, do some real accountability for once.

Really, just now its raising concerns

White house grifters.

The Emoluments Clause is like the weather, everyone complains about it, but no one does anything about it....

Imprison you will have a lot of time to smile with your ugly smile.

BugEyes2c Is he the father of Superman?

LeaBlackMiami All roads lead to the 666 building... 😳

More BS from the globalist, they hate Trump is destroying their one world order.

Marilyn31682963 Please—Jared’s following Dad’s lead here and making out like a bandit. Only mystery is why do we keep letting him get away with it.

Everyone in Trumpworld is abrogating the rule of law, engaging in self dealing, emoluments clause violations, and profiting from positions they never should have been allowed to hold Kushner never should have gotten a clearance. Trump pulled strings.

And that is only one of them. There are numerous businesses and non profit organizations all around his family and business partners.

.. uh .. yeah .. it's all a big fat maga realDonaldTrump reality TV game show 'mystery' ..

Is anyone actually surprised? Uh, nope!

And, in a long line of such and worse- America is 100% impotent in even wrist slapping people sliding the country into a corrupt monarchy and worse

PersevereEver They’re doing it in the open! They know they’re above the law. Not even trying to hide it! SMDH!

Check out Clinton!

Bush wtf? Putting Bush and ethics in same phrase is oxymoron

Again, who’s gonna stop him? McConnell? Barr? This won’t stop unless Trump is impeached or the SDNY manages to indict him for money laundering. He’s tremendously evil.

None of anyone's business.

The 'Bush Empire' wishes to put light on unidentified investments? Oh boy! And they say people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Akin to getting legal advice from John Dean.

Is Jared behind the arms sale to the Saudi's that the White House is arranging against the will of Congress?

The trump playbook allows it... congrats congress!😡

Um, sorry Mr. Painter, I don't know if you talk to many Trump supporters, but apparently no law applies to anyone in the Trump admin., because the fact that its being applied to such a person demonstrates that the person applying the law is biased and anti American.

Concerns about corrupt practice in the US seem to be like concerns about gun violence: much hand-wringing followed by business as usual.

Not news. Report facts not assumptions. Please.
