If you expected to find out why Kushner is still free, I apologize. I did not mean to imply that the answers you seek are here.

I’m still trying to figure out how Jared and Ivanka managed to make over $600 Million as public servants working in the White House.

Jared and Ivanka had a unique vision of themselves and, depending on whose memoir your read, they either considered themselves America’s version of the Royal Family or some sort of shadow president and vice president.

It’s not clear who would have been the president and who the vice president, but if the top job goes to the one with the bigger balls, that would have been Ivanka.

From the inauguration to a state dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping to a trip to London to meet the Queen, Ivanka managed to stick herself in the middle of the best photo ops and pick up a few trademarks along the way.

Ivanka sat next to Chinese President Xi Jinping at a state dinner at Mar-a-Lago and was rewarded with a few brand trademarks in China.

Shortly after getting a half dozen more trademarks in China, her father, Donnie Trump reversed his position on Chinese communications company ZTE and said that he was working with President (for life) Xi Jinping to save jobs at the financially troubled Chinese company.

That’s probably why he called himself the jobs president.

ZTE was repeatedly cited for violating American rules about supplying technology to our enemies, but Donnie’s concept of which countries posed a threat to America was ever fluid and in line only with his own personal interests.

Jared, however, grabbed the golden ring and never let go. He turned influence peddling into a cottage industry and traded the cupboards bare.

The pandemic proved very profitable to young Kushner and his cronies as contracts were handed out for goods and services that recipients – Kushner cronies – could scarcely produce.

Jared’s big coup – a word we have heard quite often these past several months, has more than one meaning as you can read HERE – had to do with a convoluted plot to save himself in a way that is not available to you or me.

We – you and I – can rob a gas station or steal money in a variety of mundane and archaic ways. We can even perpetrate one of a number of tried and true online scams; there’s always a few suckers out there who will fall for just about anything.

What we can’t do, you or I, is to get a foreign government to flex its military might in the furtherance of our devious schemes.

That’s because we’re not Jared, crown prince of America (or shadow vice-president, if you prefer).

Jared, who seems to have the business acumen of his perpetually bankrupt father-in-law overpaid for and was deeply in debt on his property at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York to the tune of more than $1 Billion.

I know, a billion dollars ain’t what it used to be, but still…

So Jared gets his buddy, MSB, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia – the guy who had a dissident journalist for the Washington Post murdered and dismembered with zero consequences – to use his naval ships to blockade Qatar, a place where the U.S. had a base with 10,000 troops, a fact which escaped the U.S. President.

Where’s all this going? Where it went is that a Qatar supported company bailed out Jared, took over his billion dollar debt and the blockade was lifted.

Netflix air a show with that kind of plot because it’s too incredible.

Shocked, you say? Don’t be. This is the kind of corruption and self-interest that was rampant throughout the ENTIRE Trump administration.

Betsy DeVoss, Scott Pruitt, Wilbur Ross, Rick Perry, Ben Carson, Steve Mnuchin; a virtual Ocean’s 11 of crooked.

Don’t forget that Louis DeJoy is still Postmaster General.

And like insurrectionists, QAnoners and other misinformed, misguided miscreants, Jared still walks among us, free as a bird.
