As I said up thread, this is a very common ruling class scam. It’s terrible, but until you all realize it started long before Trump or Javanka, you’ll be powerless to stop it.[/quote]
What a weird feint. Why not just prosecute these two cheating schmoes for their crimes instead of wringing your hands and doing nothing? These two are uniquely horrible.[/quote]

Psst: it’s not a crime no matter what you think. I share your distaste, but unlike those who lost their minds with the Trumps, I was well aware of how bad (often much worse) it was before.

Go heavy or go home with this stuff: take on the deeper problems.[/quote]

Cites. Where are are your cites for "often much worse...before"?[/quote]

You all are massively boring. There are lots of gigs working with Saudi money, Carlyle is the lowest of low-hanging fruit. BUT, the real motherload is Treasury Secretary William E. Simon negotiating, without the State Department, to get the Saudi's to price oil in dollars therefore recycling the surpluses back into dollar-denominated assets and basically creating a Frankenstein's monster financial system. Javanka's$2B of mezz debt (or whatever the terms were, could be preferred equity or something like that)  might be a pimple on the monster that is our Simon-warped financial system.

And then there's all the weapons deals, which are whole other set of relationships with much more going on then meets the eye.

Seriously, work on this if you care. But you are lazy and/or uniformed if you don't get that Jared is a low-rent schmuck compared to the big disasters out there. I'd love to put them all in jail, but the judiciary, US attorneys, executive, legislature, etc. have been looking the other way at best at this stuff for decades.[/quote]

Ooh yes, making a deal to ensure the dollar will be the reserve currency of the world is exactly like making a deal to get a $2 billion private equity slush fund.

Seriously do you not get the difference between those?[/quote]

+1. There is some serious stupid on this thread.  None of these examples is the moral equivalent of Javanka personally benefitting to the tune of $2bn.  The professional fund managers pointed out the flaws on this deal and the only way one would compensate for the risk on this deal is by assuming that you’ve already gotten part of your return on investment before the deal is inked in the form of influence on US policy and favor for crimes committed (MBS ordering a hit on a dissident.)[/quote]
