Great article. Sounds like the playbook for a dictator and his cronies. I like the phrase "murky official role".

This "inner circle" of grifters have totally made a mockery of our Constitution and no one in Congress has the guts to honor it, fight for it, and protect it.

Becoming a billionaire isn't all that hard when you start out as a very rich young man, then hook up with the daughter of the crookedest crook who ever became president! Those Middle East potentates weren't impressed by Slenderman's business acumen when they invested those billions; they were impressed by his proximity to the world's biggest asshole! They knew that Trump, and everything he had access to, were for sale, and they've got warehouses full of Benjamins!

You forgot to point out that Affinity Partners has yet to make a profit on any of the billions entrusted to it. It will be interesting to see how the Gulf States deal with him after Trump is out of office. There goes Jared's juice. His "business" on behalf of the American people, ostensibly as a negotiator with Iran, is a joke. He is as corrupt as his father-iin-law and clearly as ignorant and inexperienced. When the Dems take back Congress, I expect Rep. Raskin to reopen his inquiries and add Kushner to the long list of grifters to be investigated and held to account.

I am really gut hating the extreme corruption that is this administration. There is so much of it, how do we not riot on the streets? Why do we tolerate it? I really hate these fat cats, smoking their cigars, looking down on the American society….do you think they look at us and say: suckers?

This sickens me, I don’t understand why we can’t stop this madness!

Simple, by selling out America. Treason pays.

Whoever wrote this is incredibly smart but critical article, I thank you for taking the time to write this all out. I got dizzy and confused at times trying to understand many of the specifics within it, but I trust the author, Home of the Brave, and Jamie Raskin who was mentioned in it with the details. I care about the subject(s) explained.

One thing I did understanding was a brief but critical section near the beginning that addressed the question, “Why does this matter?” I think that’s the real point.

The remainder of readers with a better brain than mine should definitely read the whole web of this article if you dare. Or care.

How can a decent citizen not care? I will share and hope you will, too.

The entire Trump administration is corrupt as hell. Period.

Is there no end to the duplicity of anyone, everyone associated with 'king' donnie? It doesn't take a genius to understand how trumpy views everything through the prism of self aggrandisement but is this disease simply very contagious? While many are waiting, probably fruitlessly, for a complete reading of the epstein files, a total denouement of each and every member of the president's family would be equally enthralling.
