All I can say is bye bye Jared

[montag813]

Lemme guess, THIS TOO falls under the “scope” of Bob Mueller’s appointment. Right?

[Secret Agent Man]

How about, I don’t like what the company did AND I don’t like socialist rent control laws.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

THIS IS IT! MUELLER, BREAK OUT YOUR FINEST CHAMPAGNE! WE GOT THE BASTARD NOW!

You may not like Kushner and I may not like Kushner. However, this is nothing but an ABC anti-Trump hit piece.

Read the “article” again, slowly. This is an anti-Trump hit piece.

They’re horrid socialist laws, but laws nonetheless. If Jared or his company broke the laws, and it can be proven, then they’ll face the consequences.

[ifinnegan]

You actually believe this?

“””All I can say is bye bye Jared “”

My comment means the left will not stop until they take Potus down.....they will take out Jared on this. Jared is gone..........rightfully or NOT.

The goal is to force Trump to protect his son by firing Mueller! Then if they have the political clout to impeach Trump over it.

Remember impeachment: both the articles of impeachment & the trial for removal from office are political acts. You don’t need a legal reason if you have the votes. The goal is like at a minimum political damage (with Slick )if no removal from office.

Never did trust him and I think he is making matters worse for DJT.

Kushner’s company claimed there were no rent control tenants and the city approved it’s request. So wouldn’t a person of normal intelligence assume that the city had records of the tenants in rent-controlled units? And if rent control tenants were found in those records at the Kushner projects, permission would have been denied? I’m taking the side of the apartment developers and owners here. Most local housing laws are seriously slanted in favor of tenants and apartment owners have huge financial investments in their properties. I’ve seen buildings full of people that don’t pay their rent, don’t bath, don’t speak English, don’t exercise any behavioral self control and have brigades of SJW lawyers keeping their eviction cases tied up for eons. Sometimes I marvel that owners don’t set their own buildings or fire or rig gas explosions.

Meanwhile Andrew Cuomo’s butt buddy and top aid, Joseph Percoco, just got convicted of 3 felonies and not a peep from the MSM.

[M Kehoe]

But wait, ABC has more...

“While none of the documents during a three-year period when Kushner was CEO bore his personal signature, “

Sheesh.

If ABC is looking for shady deals involving greedy people, they should check out the Clinton Foundation,HSBC,Pelosi,Fineswine,Biden,Kerry,Obama...oh and McCabe amassing an $11 Million net worth as a Public Employee for 20 years sounds pretty good too.

Mureller is going to nail Jared.

He’s got the goods on him.

Mueller has a witness who swears Jared pulled her pigtails and made faces at her in kindergarten.

The “greed” is the political greed of the NYC “rent control” laws, which are in reality not terribly different than the use of the power of “eminent domain” - a “taking” of private property.

Because millions of tenants are protected by rent control - at what for most is far below current market rents - the supply of available “market rate” apartments is severely constricted, driving up the average market rate of the shrunken supply of available apartments. It works wonderfully for anyone grandfathered in to their rent controlled (or what they call “rent stabilized”) apartment, but it is a disaster for middle and lower income people who move or are just entering the NYC rental market. (a one bedroom apartment goes for on average about $4,000)

It is rules like those that create all the NATURAL reasons owners of rental apartments seek to get around them. Under the rules, their property has essentially been “taken” by the government and they are at best just landlords of government run housing. What can they get for their building and who will the buyer be? Is a buyer looking to get stuck with a building full of tenants protected/grandfathered into below market rents? No. So, owners of many of those buildings take one of two routes. Quit putting any more investment into the building, let it deteriorate and hope tenants leave on their own. And if they chose that option and it doesn’t work, they’ll save money by not paying the property taxes until the city finally claims the building for back taxes - then it’s their problem. Or, they’ll take the route of getting around the rules on “rent controlled tenants”, upgrading the building so the building is a good investment and earns a good income for the owner. Then it is a building a buyer may want.
