If Bolton is wrong, so is Rice. Bolton is the precedent and was given no pass at all, so what Republicans did back then is meaningless.
Interesting. Google "Jamie Gorelick" (Kushner's lawyer) or see the bolded bit below. http://www.foxbusiness.com/features...red-kushner-didnt-disclose-startup-stake.html The Cadre stake is one of many interests -- and ties to large financial institutions -- that Mr. Kushner didn't identify on his disclosure form, according to a Wall Street Journal review of securities and other filings. Others include loans totaling at least $1 billion, from more than 20 lenders, to properties and companies part-owned by Mr. Kushner, the Journal found. He has also provided personal guarantees on more than $300 million of the debt, according to the analysis. Jamie Gorelick, a lawyer representing Mr. Kushner, said in a statement that his stake in Cadre is housed in a company he owns called BFPS Ventures LLC. His ownership of BFPS is reported in his financial-disclosure form, although it doesn't mention Cadre. Ms. Gorelick said the Cadre stake is described in a revised version of his 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. Ms. Gorelick added that it is "very normal" for a financial disclosure form to be revised and that the form was prepared by Mr. Kushner's lawyers on his behalf. Trevor Potter, a Republican former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, and other ethics experts said investments such as Mr. Kushner's ownership of Cadre typically need to be disclosed. They said Mr. Kushner didn't appear to violate disclosure rules by not publicly reporting his business-related debts and guarantees. But they said such arrangements ideally should be disclosed, in part because they could force Mr. Kushner to recuse himself from certain issues involving the lenders. "Anything that presents a potential for the conflict of interest should be disclosed so that the public and the press can monitor this," Mr. Potter said. Ethics experts' concern is that Mr. Kushner's business connections could jeopardize his impartiality in certain areas and that, absent disclosures, the public is in the dark about potential conflicts. His rapidly expanding responsibilities range from working on a Middle East peace deal to making federal bureaucracy operate more efficiently. As a senior federal official, Mr. Kushner is bound by ethics laws that require him to recuse himself from matters that would directly affect his financial interests. Ms. Gorelick, who was deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration, said Mr. Kushner will "recuse consistent with government ethics rules."
If Rice is wrong, so was Bolton. Rice is being given no pass at all, so what Democrats are doing now is meaningless.
Precedent is still precedent, though. Rice is absolutely being given a pass. She appeared on TV recently and lied her ass off, to softball questions by the complicit media.
Bolton was absolutely given a pass. He appeared on TV and lied his ass off about iraq, to softball questions by the complicit media. and if susan rice is wrong, so was bolton. and bolton was considered by your boy for secretary of state. what a buffoon!
Bolton isn't involved in much of anything. Rice is being investigated by the republicans. They like to investigate, but not much else. I don't give a rat's ass who Trump picks for whatever jobs. I didn't oppose Obama's picks either - even for the Supreme Court. They won their elections, they have the right to govern with the help of persons of their choosing. Bolton never got softball questions. What rock were you hiding under?
"LOL Fox" provided the quotes of Kushner's lawyer (a member of the Clinton administration, not a republican). Did she not say what the article claims? Or you have nothing.
Just like you shoot the messenger when anyone post from huffpo, occupy dems, etc. I'm going to do the same shit when you post from Fox and Breitbart...
I don't, unless the message they're trying to sell us is part of some greater effort. In fact, I seek out left leaning sites to cite when possible just so you can't make this idiotic bias argument. I don't post breitbart. I see you have nothing to offer, related to the quotes and facts of the story. You got nothing.
LOL Salon.com http://www.salon.com/2017/05/02/jar...rest-with-goldman-sachs-various-billionaires/ Kushner failed to mention on his government disclosure forms both his multiple loans from various banks on properties that he co-owns and his co-ownership of a real estate finance tech startup, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. The latter business, known as Cadre, makes Kushner a partner of Goldman Sachs bank as well as influential billionaires George Soros and Peter Thiel. One of Kushner’s lawyers, Jamie Gorelick, explained in a statement that Kushner’s stake in Cadre is housed by a company called BFPS Ventures LLC, which he disclosed as owning in the appropriate government documents. While this is true, however, the documents did not mention Cadre. Gorelick says Kushner’s connection to Cadre is disclosed in a revised version of the form that Kushner plans on making public once it has been certified by ethics officials. Gorelick also claims that Kushner mentioned his co-ownership of Cadre with the Office of Government Ethics and had “resigned from Cadre’s board, assigned his voting rights, and reduced his ownership share.” In addition to his connection to Cadre, the Journal reports that Kushner has loans amounting to at least $1 billion from more than 20 different lenders to both properties and companies that he co-owns. Of this debt, Kushner has personally guaranteed $300 million of it.
