Trump Organization announces new project in Saudi Arabia

[Uncle Joe]

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said last year that he plans to keep his $2 billion investment with Kushner’s hedge fund unchanged if Trump is elected again. The investment, which came just months after Trump left office, raised questions of a potential quid pro quo between Trump and Saudi leadership.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) launched an investigation into the investment and Kushner’s business dealings in Saudi Arabia and other gulf states last month.

Wyden argued that the investments with Affinity Partners could create “significant conflicts of interest and potential counterintelligence risks.”

“These arrangements also raise concerns that Affinity’s exclusively foreign funded private investment funds are being exploited as a loophole by Mr. Kushner and other former U.S. government officials as a means to avoid complying with the Foreign Agents Registration Act and other U.S. laws requiring U.S. persons to disclose payments from foreign governments,” Wyden wrote last month.

1. One thing for sure - we have the best government money can buy.

If you want to see how the big boys play - follow the money. And we worry about voting, equal rights, civil rights and all the other distractions that keep the working class in their place.

2. Good Luck to Saudi Arabia getting in bed with the Trump Organization.

It is always a smart move to get involved with the worst con artists. They have a proven track record of stupendous failure and I hope they take down in a spectacular fashion the Saudi genius who thinks this is good idea.

Of course, Saudi Arabia will have access to all our top secrets at bargain prices so there is that little benefit.
