We need to do like LBJ said to MLK Jr about the VRA. "I agree with you, now make me do it." They need us to vote them into the majority so they have subpoena power, and then we need to keep pushing them to do the right thing. Too many people have been checked out for a very long time.

Who is going to do that? The Fed government is controlled by Trump. The only possible investigation is by Congress. Perhaps Congress can compel him to testify and answer questions and then turn the results over to a local prosecutor because at this point, the US govt won't pursue it.

This is the plan after the mid-terms, as I understand it. Dems take back Congress, subpoena witnesses, investigate, and turn over any state level charges to state AGs to prosecute. Federal level charges can be saved for 2029 when we take back the White House.

✜ CNN’s piece admits it found NO evidence Kushner’s diplomacy touched those investments. ✜ Affinity doesn’t own Elbit. It owns a slice of Phoenix Financial ~Israel’s version of Vanguard ~which hold s defense stocks among thousands of positions. ✜ Public, bought before the job, never directed.

Not investigated, stopped. The investigations lead to nothing but more posturing and few to no consequences. We’re bored with them. Stop discussing and start doing.

Stopping them starts with investigating them. Congress can turn over prosecution recommendations to state AGs after the mid terms, and any Federal charges to a Democratic AG after we take back the White House in 2029.

Yes, in a normal situation, but we do not have the luxury of that time. Each day near irreparable damage is being done by people who brazenly ignore the rule of law. They’ve shown contempt for the legal constraints that would hold back better men. New territory demands new tactics. It’s that simple.

I have a suggestion: use real, experienced diplomats from the State Department. (Are there any left?)

Sounds like the Arab nations are unwittingly funding the Israeli war machine... You'd think they'd be pissed off about that... wonder what's wrong with them? 🤔

They can't lead the relevant committees or send out subpoenas until they're in the majority. These posts are meant to encourage people to vote, not just post responses like "Well? Do it, then".

Isn't it illegal for private citizens representing themselves as speaking for the United States to negotiate with foreign nations?

Like Prescott Bush. Invest in the Military actions you preside over. America is finished if we don't do something about these crooks.

Exactly! Dems didn't investigate Kushner during Trump1 when he actually was a govt official and got a $2 billion deal with Saudis for his personal biznesses. Why should we believe they will do anything in Trump2. We already know who they are and it's not about rule of law.

You know how they're trying to blend our military/intelligence with Israel? I suspect they already have and now they are trying to make it legal. It's past time to burn this all down.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani cannot investigate Jared Kushner, as federal oversight and investigations fall outside the jurisdiction of a municipal mayor. Mamdani's executive power as NYC Mayor is restricted to city government, local agencies, and municipal laws.

President Eisenhower warned long ago about the military industrial complex. War begets war. The cycle is increasing with tRump et al.

This should be an easy investigation because everything they have done is easily verifiable and they are threatening and stealing from other countries to fill Jared’s and his in-laws pockets

Why "investigate" when we all know a debt ridden slumlord is now flush with cash in a bleak of an eye. Sanction them trumps/kushners and take the money back Since they don't follow laws , why should you? When you are doing the world a favor

And, the US must stop perpetuating the corruption in sending a citizen real estate developer (who couldn’t even get required high security clearance when working in the WH) to negotiate other Nations’ boundaries to benefit private real estate developers and USA’s land-grab clients, Israel & Russia.

Investigation is the software update of politics: we’re promised a patch for the bugs, but we usually just get a new UI and the same legacy crashes.

Investigated until someone cuts someone a check and then it "mysteriously" goes away. Bribery is not only a part of corruption, but also an essential ingredient.

Come on! Is this actually real? Well, I guess the American people knew exactly what they were getting into when they elected this pack of hard hard hard conservative mega capitalist nepotistic bunch of old white guys. It's not like they hid any of their intentions while campaigning in 2024.

I’m sure it’s on a very long list. I’m not so sure any justice will ever be served based on the way they handled the Epstein investigation.

This is going to get difficult-these crooks can feel justice breathing down their necks, so they will use all the money and power they have to stay in power. You Dems better get organized and serious!

Behold Jared Corey Kushner: a soulless, hollow-eyed, silver-spooned grifter who mistook nepotism for competence. A "peace envoy" only because he married the boss's daughter, stumbling through the Middle East while quietly perfecting the ancient art of cashing in.

Yes, but... Maybe we could also prosecute? Hold accountable? Recoup ill-gotten funds? HAVE SOME FREAKING CONSEQUENCES? I appreciate the sentiment, but we are all tired of talking and handwringing and "looking into it." We'd like some action. Please.

For the purpose of prosecuting, not finger wagging. And then we take their money. And their houses. And their cars. And their planes. And their yachts. And put them in prison until they fucking die. And hang the ones who are guilty of capital crimes.

Speaking of corruption, has any news person checked to see if Don, Jr. actually paid back the Russian oligarch for the extravagant wedding parties? Or do they just drop it once Trump said that Jr was going to pay it back? Are the media still that gullible? Or just still that lazy?

It seems to be that one of these lowlife grubs emerge into our world every generation or two. Humanity presents them to us to show us how ugly we can get. We cannot be complacent. This man must be shown up as an example and dealt with accordingly.

Well sure, but how about a plan for how that’s going to happen? Americans are sick of the rampant corruption while Democrats do nothing.

That all get paid by the same aipac gang and all are complicit. They’re not down for we the people. In case it wasn’t obvious enough.

And on Fox Breaking “News” Hunter Biden sold paintings for $1.5 million… meanwhile Trump and his sons have made billions with insider trading and the slender man is making hundreds of millions as a “negotiator”.

He is there because Trump trusts him and not his idiot sons. Kushner has been a national security threat since he was an advisor in the first term. Elon is a bigger threat to the United States but, nobody seems to care.

But but her laugh...but but Gaza...but but eww a black woman. If more people had done the right thing we might have Jack Smith as AG and DJT in prison where he belongs.

One plan get super rich by any means necessary! Insider trading, land give aways”FOREIGN, contracts given to friends family just anybody willing to give Trump.A payback,CRYPTO fraud costing people millions and used to give Trump untraceable payments for contracts/Favors” Out right stealing, MOB BOSS

It is highly likely that Jared Kushner has already seen the writing on the wall and is making plans to live outside of the United States. He’s bright enough to see what’s coming and greedy enough to pack his bags and leave. Pity the children.

The Kushners used to host Bibi when he would visit the US. Bibi SLEPT in Jared's childhood bed ffs. These people have been corrupt for longer than most sitting US Reps and Senators careers.

It's ridiculously right in our face. Unbelievable corruption like this needs not only to be investigated, but stopped! How far have we fallen?

Hakeem Jeffries was having secret meetings with this guy and wonders why people are upset by it. The only meetings they should have with him should be in Congress under oath.

Yep. Jeffries should have been pressured to resign after that came out. He's not doing right by his constituents. If I remember right, there was a progressive who wanted to primary him but didn't. Something about interference from the DNC, I think.
