Kushner, 666 5th Ave, Qatar and running Middle East foreign policy

[MrSquished]

The whole situation is shady as hell. Basically Kushner invested in a big giant poop at 666 5th ave. An over a billion dollar poop. They've been trying to get bailed out of it by foreign investors for a while. A sweetheart deal with a Chinese group fell through after the terms were made public because they were so stupid it was clearly a way to get leverage. They then reached out to Qatar which has a massive sovereign fund. Qatar eventually refused. Coincidentally, a blockade on Qatar by other ME nations happens a month later, supported by Trump but not by his own SOS Tillerson and SOD Mattis, while Kushner is really running Middle East policy. Not too long after, an investment group of which the Qataris are the second largest funders, bails out Kushner. Nothing to see here, move along now.

This is an excellent synopsis and timeline linked up: https://www.justsecurity.org/69094/...atar-666-fifth-avenue-and-white-house-policy/

A congressional inquiry has raised the possibility that Kushner supported a blockade of a US ally as payback because it would not fund his family’s business

My favorite part of this whole story was when asked about this obviously shady deal Qatar said ‘oops, we didn’t know it was Jared’s company!’

Doha insists it was an “unwitting” partner in the deal.

So when Republicans declare that we must investigate Hunter Biden remember, they were totally uninterested in probably the most powerful person in government being on the hook for more than $1 billion to the Qataris.
