This is the type of reportage that all sane and truly patriotic people should demand coverage by all their media sources. Sadly that will not happen and sadly the general population will not care enough about to raise a fuss. However, we must all make a fuss and call out all corruption and demand that it stop.

Don't be surprised if this excellent piece is picked up and amplified by MSM outlets like NYT & WaPo. Judd is now closely if surreptitiously watched by a lot of big fish in the global media pond.

It was astounding to learn that Jared hasn't even invested most of the money his fund has so far raised; instead letting it evaporate to inflation. The Saudi's in particular must find owning Mr. Trump's son-in-law a very good investment indeed.

Judd is courageous in his reporting. Excellence is lacking in MSM

Beautifully said Hazel! 100% spot on. The WaPo and NY Times of yesteryear would have been all over this. BOTH Trump in his first term AND Biden shook hands with the devil that is MBS. The more I am here the more disgusted I get with my home country.

And nothing will happen to Kushner now, not after Satan got re-elected. The U.S. has sold its soul for endless war, unchecked greed and far too much outsourcing to private industry--which has now left us dependent on them (Hello, Musk). This is our karma.

Good information for sure, but does ANY of this surprise anyone? This country is now officially a corrupt oligarchy and it's not going to get better anytime soon. Democracy is screwed. Trump's hero Putin is thrilled!

This was Putin’s plan. He has said he would destroy the US from the inside. But with a history of NEVER holding Presidents accountable, the way other countries do, we served putin a silver platter for Fascism.

And I will add, I don’t believe trump won EVERY SWING state. Not for a damn minute!

And if Matt Gaetz is confirmed as AG, you know who’s going to be investigated and it won’t be those who really need it.

Once again we'll see the Fascist Corrupt Self Dealing tRUMP Regime & Crime Syndicate Family enrich themselves. Id10t Americans reelected a Racist, Bigoted, Narcissistic, mentally unstable & delusional TRAITOR & Putin ASSet, who doesnt give a damn about America. only enriching themselves. Maybe that Evil Cuck Kushner is the Real Antichrist, working behind the scenes, whispering in Deranged Donnies supposedly injured ear, helping in the death & Destruction of people around the world. #RESIST

Why is this not on the front page of the NYT, WP, WSJ? Hunter Biden was gone after for what feels like less serious crimes. And i think he deserved to be held accountable but I guess the SCOTUS has officially shielded all of the Trump family, including those married into to it, from any accountability. I continue ti be

To be repulsed by the blatant double standard for the rich, greedy, morally corrupt, and the rest of US citizens

Jared has learned from his convict father. Think of no one but yourself.

There isn’t one law the republiCons feel they need to follow, there isn't a Constitutional protection that they aren’t willing to violate. Let’s just remember that. It will be incredibly difficult to control from Congress now.

I have heard that Congress is trying to approve the No Kings Act. Meaning a Felon, rapist can’t run for president!! But let’s say we pass it next week. Then what? Will the damn Democrats use their power to get trump arrested…We can’t count on it! They’ll more likely start a 3 year investigation committee to see if it will pass. 🙄 Biden should be making president mandates, he's immune from being held liable for ANYTHING! Play dirty for the sake of saving this nation!! AS DIRTY AS NEEDED.

"Inappropriate behavior". "Might be illegal". "Illegal" "Violation of Foreign Agents Act". "Multi Billions for influence over US foreign policy". Murder. Mayhem. Abuse of authority...all protected by the SCOTUS Presidential official act immunity decision, directly and indirectly. abikitie to commute sentences of murders, thieves and insurrectionist's. "Let em in they are armed so that they can hurt me..."

Knowledge of bad behavior and being able or wanting to stop bad (illegal) behavior are 2 distinctly different things. The voters have spoken and they don't care or... don't care enough to want to know.

Factual knowledge is a powerful thing when acquired, applied and acted on. The controlling forces have the power for another few weeks to act...but aren't and don't.

The questions that should be asked is... why? It is not complicated. If one has the power to make a difference and doesn't utilize that legal option to right the wrong(s)... there comes a time that one has to admit that it is not the system, but the people in charge... beginning with our present President and his staff of advisors. Has someone made a deal? Trump is the man who can artfully make deals ...perhaps Mafia style?

Anyone have another explanation for why.

And Please... I implore you...no more of this... "it's complicated", because it's not. The President is our Commander and Chief and has the power to do all sorts of things...and now has the immunity to do so.

Henry, I appreciate your questions, especially, "Factual knowledge is a powerful thing when acquired, applied and acted on. The controlling forces have the power for another few weeks to act...but aren't and don't." Is Biden awake at all? Are there any people in this administration who would know and care enough to act (immediately)? Is Garland simply terrified as well as cowardly?

I think they are afraid for their families. Mafia style threats and actions of violent supporters. If Biden were to gauruntee 24 hr military support/protection it would realistically take about 6 persons on average with some temporary relocation logistics to cover about 1,000 gov't personnel. So about 6000 individuals for approx 90 days. Cost would run about 60 to 100 million to facilitate the protection on an emergency basis. cheap at any cost, to protect and defend a democracy. Congressional misfits would have to be arrested and held in an encampment cost of around 10 million and be accomplished within a 20 day period. Another $500MM to round up the militia leaders and could be completed within a year. Allocate the funds, and let's go Brandon.

Under the insurrection act all this is possible. General public would have to adapt for a year and then refill the holes in the economy left by their extremists.

We are about to see exactly how well the Saudi investment in the Boy Blunder pays off. And remember, this is nothing compared to Hunter's laptop, that was the real scandal.

Boy Blunder indeed.

I hadn't really wondered what Jared Kushner was doing, but it's almost reassuring to know that it's nothing good.

I noticed that too, while trying to follow closely and make sense of internecine corruption.

Judd, any credible rumors or theories on who the fifth foreign investor is or why it is being kept under wraps? I can come up with my own guesses and theories but am curious about what you are hearing.
