So what is the big deal? They warned him? Is that a scandal? They even admit that it's common practice to issue these kinds of warnings. No indication that Kushner did anything improper. So if it's common, then I'm not even sure why it's news.

But there are some obvious questions I see lurking beneath the surface. First, how did this get in the press? Who at the FBI leaked it? And is the FBI now going after Chinese-Americans? Or were they trying to embarrass Murdoch? Or is it just another case of them trying to embarrass Trump and the Republicans?

i don’t know about this Jared Kushner. Seems like he and Ivanka are troublemakers a bit.

Trump stole the election. Russian collusion. He’s a racist. Now Trump and family colluded with the Chinese. I guess they’ll keep thinking up new arratives until finding one that finally sticks!

In before Trump collusion with the Chinese. Now Mueller will be tasked to investigate this fake story as well now all with the ultimate goal of impeaching him and removing him from office.

I believe this has to do with the case the State of NY AG is trying to build against Kushner, whose family has some Chinese financiers for parts of their large enterprise of businesses.

Supposedly that NY AG attempt to build a case is being assisted by, or is on behalf of, Robert Mueller, who wants some state charges ready against Kushner, to try to counterbalance any attempt to potentially pardon Kushner from Federal charges that Mueller may bring.

“I don’t know about this Jared Kushner. Seems like he and Ivanka are troublemakers a bit.”

There is exactly why they distort truth...to destroy people’s reputations unjustly. And we still buy into it!

This is just dumb and I am NO fan of Ivanka's nor Jared's!

This whole thing began long ago...Murdoch divorced her and DEMANDED that EVERYONE who had been the couple's friends, stop being Wendi's friend.

Ivanka was her friend, refused to drop her, and so Murdoch went after her...BIG TIME; Jared too.

It's a Murdoch vendetta and who leaked this info should be fired!

Bottom line - Neither Ms. Murdoch, Mr. Kushner nor Ms. Trump has been accused of any wrongdoing.

So, no one connected to a potential or actual candidate for office can never talk to anyone from a different country? Nor can a transition team member talked to foreign dignitaries regarding future relations? Notice that one died, along with all the sexual harassment crap.

Since the whole Russian thing has fallen apart, this is their next foreign collusion thingy? Sheesh, imagine how many times Trump or Ivanka or Melania, or others close to him or worked for him have talked to foreign people about business.

Hey, dims, keep to the "shit-hole" comment. At least you can yell, "racist!". This is just pathetic.

I think there are problems with Jared and Ivanka, but I sure wish FReepers would quit posting from these Lying Leftist Media outlets.

I really wish that people would stop claiming that the WSJ was a “Conservative” outlet; it isn’t, hasn’t been for decades and thanks for noticing! :-)

Well we all know what happens when a greedy, broke, hillbilly(jclinton), president cozies up to the Chinese for financial gain.

Hell they may like ‘supplying’ their friends with weapons systems data that they may even try and work a deal with Russia regarding Uranium.

Of course this would NEVER happen in the fairytale world MSM is entrenched in.

Next thing you know a sitting president will use Russian dressing on his Big Mac....
Surely an impeachable offense.

If Russia really Peeees off ‘The Donald’ he will pass an edict and call it ‘Freedom Dressing’...

Am sure all remember Freedom Fries because France didn’t play nice.

The project, a planned $100 million Chinese garden at the National Arboretum, was deemed a national-security risk because it included a 70-foot-tall white tower that could potentially be used for surveillance, according to people familiar with the intelligence community’s deliberations... The garden was planned...near downtown Washington, less than 5 miles from both the Capitol and the White House.


So our vaunted security agencies thinks a 70 foot tower in a garden 5 miles from the Capital is a security threat because it could be used for surveillance. What? There are no building rooftops over 70 feet tall within 5 miles of the Capital?

What a total bunch of hogwash.

>>So what is the big deal?

Jawad the Poodle Prince - the millenial personification of...


“So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over--a weary, battered old brontosaurus--and became extinct.”
