    [h1][link=https://www.rawstory.com/jared-kushner-saudi-arabia/]Jared Kushner trying to raise Saudi cash[/link][/h1]

    “So far, he is having only mixed success,” reported Kate Kelly, David D. Kirkpatrick, and Alan Rappeport. “Qatar, whose leaders saw Mr. Kushner as an opponent in the administration, declined to invest in his firm, a person familiar with those conversations said. So did the main Emirati sovereign wealth funds; Emirati rulers saw Mr. Kushner as an ally but questioned his track record in business, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions.”
     
    There is one government in the region that is coming to Kushner’s aid, however.
     
    “The Saudis are more interested, according to four people briefed on their continuing negotiations,” continued the report. “The kingdom’s $450 billion Public Investment Fund is negotiating with Mr. Kushner over what could prove to be a sizable investment in his new firm, two of those people said.”

    [h1]Before Giving Billions to Jared Kushner, Saudi Investment Fund Had Big Doubts[/h1] [i]Before it committed $2 billion to Mr. Kushners firm, Public Investment Fund officials questioned the justification for taking such a big risk.[/i]
    [link=https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redirect-to/?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2022%2F04%2F10%2Fus%2Fjared-kushner-saudi-investment-fund.html%3Fsmtyp%3Dcur%26smid%3Dtw-nytimes]https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/10/u…mid=tw-nytimes[/link]

    Those objections included: the inexperience of the Affinity Fund management; the possibility that the kingdom would be responsible for the bulk of the investment and risk; due diligence on the fledgling firms operations that found them unsatisfactory in all aspects; a proposed asset management fee that seems excessive; and public relations risks from Mr. Kushners prior role as a senior adviser to his father-in-law, former President Donald J. Trump, according to minutes of the panels meeting last June 30.

    Kushner played the lead role in defending the Saudi butcher. He was compensated well for his services to the Prince.

    The Saudi fund agreed to invest twice as much and on more generous terms with Mr. Kushner than it did at about the same time with former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin who was also starting a new fund even though Mr. Mnuchin had a record as a successful investor before entering government, the documents show. The amount of the investment in his firm, Liberty Strategic Capital $1 billion has not been previously disclosed.

    How Jared Kushner Washed His Hands of Trump[/h1]  
     
    [link=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/08/us/politics/jared-kushner-trump-jan-6.html]New York Times[/link]: No matter how vociferously Mr. Trump claimed otherwise, neither Mr. Kushner nor Ivanka Trump believed then or later that the election had been stolen While the president spent the hours and days after the polls closed complaining about imagined fraud in battleground states and plotting a strategy to hold on to power, his daughter and son-in-law were already washing their hands of the Trump presidency.
     
    Their decision to move on opened a vacuum around the president that was filled by conspiracy theorists like Rudolph W. Giuliani and Sidney Powell, who relayed to Mr. Trump farcically false stories of dead voters, stuffed ballot boxes, corrupted voting machines and foreign plots. Concluding that the president would not listen even to family members urging him to accept the results, Mr. Kushner told Mr. Trump that he would not be involved if Mr. Giuliani were in charge, according to people he confided in, effectively ceding the field to those who would try to overturn the election.

    [h1]Jared Kushner Wasnt Just Involved in Trumps Push to Overturn 2020. He Helped Start It[/h1] [b]Jared helped create what then morphed into the Rudy clown show

    [/b]

    According to four people familiar with the matter, in the week following Election Day in early November of that year, Kushner took charge in overseeing the development of plans to keep Trump in office Kushner just wasnt publicly ostentatious about it in the way Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others were. During that first week, Kushner repeatedly met with Trump and other high-ranking aides to the then-president to discuss and map out possible strategies for multi-pronged legal battles and a scorched-earth messaging war against the victorious Biden campaign, the knowledgeable sources tell Rolling Stone.

    Despite all the strong evidence to the contrary, Kushner told Trump that there could still be a path for the then-president in a number of critical states, including Arizona, that had already been called for Biden. In those early days of the scheme to overturn the election, two of the sources say, Kushner also personally encouraged Trump to fight on and ignore people who were saying it was over, and to stick to the burgeoning plans and court challenges spearheaded by the 2020 campaign attorneys and senior staff. Kushner was, of course, in the room with these fellow Trump lieutenants when the plans were first being crafted. (Axios reported this at the time as the trusted son-in-law urging Trump to explore and pursue legal remedies to the election results.)

    And as the Giuliani-led antics and conspiracy-theory-mongering grew so outrageous and embarrassing including a mid-November 2020 press conference during which Giulianis hair dye appeared to melt off his head, and MAGA lawyer Sidney Powell went as far as to implicate the long-dead Hugo Chavez in the fictitious 2020 FRAUD conspiracy to some of the self-aware denizens of Trumpland, Kushner saw his cue to quietly exit. He, of course, continued to appear at least superficially supportive of his father-in-laws mission, and refused to speak out about the doomed effort. Kushner, despite some pleading by his friends for him to do something to talk Trump down from his disastrous and eventually violent attempt to stay in power, didnt even lift a finger to try to play the allegedly moderating role in the West Wing that he for years falsely cultivated a reputation for assuming.

          The overall themes are quite different though.Spread the blame or concentrate on the most evil.

            Thanks for the two posts by the way. They are worthy of study. Both attacks on Trump. One uses the Frumi/chiro method to try and connect everyone possible to Trump and take the whole tribe down. The other notices infighting in the tribe a works to use members against each other to put the worst offenders on an island. 
             
            One approach would tend to move discussion to middle ground and the other would tend to push each tribe to the poles.
             
            Probably no surprise which one I prefer.
