Trump Son-In-Law Jared Kushner Borrowed $250 Million from Soros Family
2017-05-04
[Breitbart] Mr. Kushner co-founded Cadre in 2014 with his brother Joshua and Ryan Williams, a 29-year-old friend and former employee of Kushner Cos., the family-controlled business that Mr. Kushner ran until recently...

Cadre also secured a $250 million line of credit from the family office of George Soros, a top Democratic donor whom Mr. Trump criticized during his presidential campaign, the people close to the company said. Mr. Soros’s family office is also an investor in Cadre.

[Kushner’s lawyer Jamie] Gorelick said the Cadre stake is described in a revised version of [Kushner’s] financial-disclosure form that will be made public after it has been certified by ethics officials. She said Mr. Kushner has previously discussed his Cadre ownership with the Office of Government Ethics and that Mr. Kushner has "resigned from Cadre’s board, assigned his voting rights, and reduced his ownership share." A spokesman for the Office of Government Ethics didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Jamie S. Gorelick is an American lawyer who served as the Deputy Attorney General of the United States from 1994 to 1997, during the Clinton administration.
Is that why she is revealing things that, it seems to me, her fiduciary duty requires her to keep confidential at least until the client makes them public? I also note that having a line of credit is not the same as borrowing money; it is a way of nailing down the possibility of quickly borrowing money in the future, should an opportunity arise making it necessary. Mr. Wife and I had a line of credit from our bank for years that we never touched, because we never needed to -- it came with the bank account Mr. Wife's company had us open so they could pay him more easily when they sent us to Germany, and it would have been useful in an emergency.

#9  You have to read this article translated from the Hungarian at Gates of Vienna HERE. All about Soros' operations in the Balkans and elsewhere. Put Jared Kushner, line of credit from Soros, retaining the services of Jamie Gorelick, Republicans caving to max out the credit cards, and Soros together and I say that we are well and truly fooked.

#8  Good for him.
That's $250m that won't be misspent elsewhere.

#4  A prudent move might be to keep the family away from the WH day-to-day. Just saying.

#3  I don't think Kuchner is active in the day to day business. He's just a venture capitalist by the sound of it.

#2  The difference between a line of credit and a loan is the latter is transferred to you immediately and the former when you need it. There is no real difference in the conditions. I doubt he got it on personal surety and would have posted collateral, probably including his shares in Cadre.

Sounds a normal business transaction to me.

#1  Ethics is one issue. If a guy, his brother and a friend come to me and ask for a line of credit, I am going to make sure that these three people can make my money back if they ever need my money. If one of the three is married to the daughter of Donald Trump, I am going to give him the line of credit.

But if he then bails on the company and decides to focus his energies somewhere else, I would consider the landscape has changed considerably. Unless the somewhere else is an office next to the President of the United States.

If he had refocused somewhere other than the White House then he probably would have lost it and Kushner's other major investors would have also been concerned.

Is he a man of his word? Or if a sweeter deal comes along will he abandon our deal?
