Kushner received 30 million from Israel while working on "peace plan"


According to a report published Sunday by the New York Times, Kushner's real estate firm received a $30 million investment from Menora Mivtachim—one of Israel's largest financial institutions—just before he accompanied Trump on his first diplomatic trip to Israel last year.

"The deal, which was not made public, pumped significant new equity into 10 Maryland apartment complexes controlled by Mr. Kushner's firm," the Times notes. "While Mr. Kushner has sold parts of his business since taking a White House job last year, he still has stakes in most of the family empire—including the apartment buildings in and around Baltimore."

This cabal has descended into hell and keeps on digging.

We can STILL believe ::

"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice." (Theodore Parker) also often quoted in his speeches by MLK.

https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/11/15/arc-of-universe/

Quote Investigator: Theodore Parker was a Unitarian minister and prominent American Transcendentalist born in 1810 who called for the abolition of slavery. In 1853 a collection of “Ten Sermons of Religion” by Parker was published and the third sermon titled “Of Justice and the Conscience” included figurative language about the arc of the moral universe.

For recognizing the origins of that famous quote.

MLK put it to great use and made it famous. But he was paraphrasing someone else when he used it.

Both great visionaries and orators.

Hey, I didn't know Dr. Seuss wrote specifically about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, but I don't know everything.

I can't see trump wanting to share ANY of it. Even with Ivanka's husband. Now, if it was Ivanka, he probably would be fine letting her pocket at least some of it.

You could be correct, I keep remembering the time Chris Christy had to raise funds for the Transition Team because Trump wouldn’t allow the campaign to pay, and after learning of the additional funds Trump demanded of Christy “I want my money”.

In this order:

Kushner gets top secret intel. (even though he's not cleared, pappy in law gives it to him)
Kushner Company building, the devil building at 666 Park Ave is about to put them into bankruptcy.
Kushner meets with MBS (in private)
Within weeks all the impediments to MBS having full control of SA and its oil get arrested, jailed...disappeared.
Shortly after a Mid Eastern investment of nearly a billion dollars goes to Kushner Companies for...wait for it...a lease on the Devil Building.
FYI, the Devil building is still vacant.
But, the Kushner Company avoided going bankrupt.

Just sayin...
