Steve Bannon arrested on fraud charges involving border wall fundraising scheme
21 August 2020
The former adviser to President Trump and extreme right-wing nationalist Steve Bannon was arrested on Thursday and charged with two counts of conspiracy for defrauding donors of a private fundraising scheme called “We Build the Wall.”
The indictment against Bannon and three others—Brian Kolfage, Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea—was unsealed by Acting US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Andrew Strauss.
President Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon leaves federal court, Thursday, Aug. 20, 2020, after pleading not guilty to charges that he ripped off donors to an online fundraising scheme to build a southern border wall. (AP Photo/Craig Ruttle)A press release accompanying the indictment said that all four men had been arrested and quoted Strauss saying, “the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars, under the false pretense that all of that money would be spent on construction.”
The scheme began in December 2018 when the defendants set up an online crowdfunding site ultimately called “We Build the Wall” to raise private money in support of President Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant campaign to build a wall along the southern US border.
The campaign raised $25 million with Kolfage, a veteran of the US Air Force who lost both legs and his right hand in Iraq in 2004, as the public face of the organization. On the website and in social media posts and email messages, the organization made repeated public statements to donors that 100 percent of the money would be given to the US government for the wall project.
However, as explained in the indictment, “those representations were false” and “the defendants collectively received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donor funds from We Build the Wall, which they used in a manner inconsistent with the organizations public representations.”
Kolfage was secretly paid $350,000—$100,000 up front and $20,000 per month thereafter—for things such as, “home renovations, payment towards a boat, a luxury SUV, a golf cart, jewelry, cosmetic surgery, personal tax payments and credit card debt.”
Bannon, according to the indictment, through a nonprofit organization under his control, received “over $1,000,000 from We Build the Wall, which Bannon used, among other things, to secretly pay Kolfage and to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in Bannon’s personal expenses.”
The indictment explains the method by which the donor money was transferred to the individuals. It says that the men “devised a scheme to route the payments from We Build the Wall to Kolfage indirectly through Non-Profit-1 and a shell company” and “by using fake invoices and sham ‘vendor’ arrangements,” they attempted to ensure that the “pay arrangement remain ‘confidential’ and kept on a ‘need to know’ basis.”
The indictment also explains that the defendants, once they learned from a financial institution that “We Build the Wall” might be under federal investigation, took steps to conceal their fraudulent scheme, including removing from their website the promise that Kolfage would not receive any salary for his work with the organization.
Bannon, Kolfage, Badolato and Shea were each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, each of which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
New reports published late Thursday said that Bannon appeared before a Manhattan court and pled not guilty to the charges against him before being released on $5 million bail secured with $1.75 million in assets. The Associated Press reported, “When he emerged from the courthouse, Bannon tore off his mask, smiled and waved to news cameras. As he went to a waiting vehicle, he shouted, ‘This entire fiasco is to stop people who want to build the wall’.”
Bannon—the former investment banker, entertainment industry producer and executive chairman of the fascistic Breitbart News—served as chief executive of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and chief strategist and senior counselor for President Trump for the first seven months of the administration.
As a founding member of the board of Breitbart News, Brannon was a principal force in proclaiming the site “the platform of the alt-right” and using it to promote anti-immigrant, racist, American nationalist, white supremacist, neo-Nazi and fascist views.
Bannon brought all of this to the Trump election campaign and presidency and, along with the fascist White House adviser Stephen Miller, was responsible for the adoption of extreme nationalist anti-immigration policies in months immediately following the inauguration in January 2017. Bannon and Miller, for example, were central to the creation of the Muslim travel ban (Executive Order 13769), which restricted travel to the US by people from seven countries.
Bannon left the White House less than a week after the fascist rampage in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which counter-protester Heather Heyer was killed by a self-proclaimed Hitler admirer who drove his car into a crowd. It has been reported that Trump’s statement that there were “very fine people on both sides” was suggested by Bannon.
Donald Trump’s border wall project was a central theme of his 2016 election campaign, and he included a proposal in the wall plans to allow private money to support it. The Kolfage/Bannon campaign initially said that the millions raised in their crowdfunding initiative would go to the government. Then they shifted to privately building a portion of the wall in Sunland Park, New Mexico and near McAllen International Airport in Mission, Texas.
Clearly aware of the pending indictments against “We Build the Wall,” Trump tweeted last month that he “disagreed with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads.” He also claimed, “It was only done to make me look bad.”
The website for “We Build the Wall” is still up and features a photo of Kolfage with the following quote next to it: “If you are sick and tired of watching politicians in both parties obstructing President Trump's plan to build a wall on our southern border, then you have come to the right place. We The People are coming together to build segments of border wall on private property and the best part is, we’re going to do it for a fraction of what it costs the government.”
Clinton Foundation Put On Watch List Of Suspicious ‘Charities’
http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2015/04/charity-navigator-clinton-foundation.html
"But what the Clintons do is criminal
because they do it wholly at the expense of the American people. And they feel
thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power, use it to enrich themselves and their
friends. They are amoral, immoral, and venal. Hillary has no core beliefs
beyond power and money. That should be clear to every person on the planet by
now." ---- Patricia McCarthy
HILLARY &
BILLARY: The Evita and Juan Peron of Wall Street
The Clinton Looting of the Poor of Haiti
http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-clinton-mafia-loots-poor-of-haiti.html
“The couple parlayed lives
supposedly spent in “public service”
into admission into the upper stratosphere of American wealth, with incomes in
the top 0.1 percent bracket. The source of this vast wealth was a political
machine that might well be dubbed “Clinton, Inc.” This consists essentially of
a seedy money-laundering operation to ensure big business support for the
Clintons’ political ambitions as well as their personal fortunes. The basic
components of the operation are lavishly paid speeches to Wall Street and
Fortune 500 audiences, corporate campaign contributions, and donations to the
ostensibly philanthropic Clinton Foundation.”
IT WAS BILL
CLINTON WHO UNLEASHED WALL STREET’S BIGGEST CRIMINAL BANKSTERS…. And haven’t
they sucked up the banksters’ gratuities since?
Only Barack
Obama has serviced banksters more than Hillary and Billary!
“Clinton also failed to mention how he and Hillary
cashed in after his presidential tenure to
make themselves multimillionaires, in part by taking tens of
millions in speaking fees from Wall Street bankers.”
FROM DAY ONE THE CLINTONS HAVE BEEN A CRIME TIDAL WAVE!
Anatomy of a Clinton Scam
“The bigger the lie, the more likely the
buy-in” -- that must be the theory underlying a plan relentlessly executed by
Bill and Hillary Clinton to suck money from the public in support of a supposed
“charity” currently known as “Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation.”
Unlike the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation that was originally funded primarily by the Gates family, the
Clinton Foundation was meant to take money from the general public, and from
governments.
So, affairs of the Clinton Foundation
were never supposed to be directed by the Clinton family. But public records
apparently prove that strict rules governing the conduct of public charities
are not applied when it comes to long-time “public servants” such as the
Clintons.
Incorporated but not Organized
However, to qualify for federal
tax-exemption, a charity must be formally organized not simply by lawyers but
by, at least three truly independent directors, who needed to adopt articles of
incorporation and bylaws in a formal organizational meeting before the entity
conducted official operations. Bylaws for this entity may not have been
formally adopted by initial directors (referred to as “Trustees”) until Dec.
23, 1997 as you can see for yourself by reviewing these materials available
through the main Clinton Foundation website.
A reasonable question to ask is: what did
“The William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation” do, if anything, prior to
adopting bylaws, and how did they accomplish these actions before becoming
formally ''organized ``?
“Formless aggregations of individuals”
are not “organizations”
Well before Dec. 23, 1997, Clinton allies
laid groundwork required to erect the Clinton Foundation in a portion of Little
Rock that had long been run-down, depressing local property values.
However, the IRS explains that
only “organizations” are eligible for exemption from taxes, not “formless
aggregations of individuals”:
“An
individual, partnership, or formless aggregation of individuals, however,
cannot qualify for exemption under IRC 501(c)(3). If it is determined that no
organization exists, the applicant will be advised that no ruling or
determination letter can be issued [emphasis added].”
Newspaper accounts, court records and
other publicly available information show that early efforts on behalf of the
“Clinton Foundation” were not conducted in corporate form, but instead loosely
and informally, chiefly by Clinton political supporters.
For example, on Nov. 7, 1997, City of
Little Rock public meeting notes state:
“[Little
Rock] Mayor Dailey said he received word from Skip Rutherford, local
coordinator for the Presidential Library at 7:00 AM, that President and Mrs.
Clinton has selected the site along the Arkansas River in Little Rock as the
location for the proposed William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library
[emphasis added].”
In this C-SPAN clip, Rutherford is clearly
seen explaining widespread activities carried out through Nov. 7, 1997:
In 1997, and for years afterward, Bill and
Hillary Clinton were not lawfully designated directors, trustees, officers, or
agents of the purported legal entity that was supposed to operate the
presidential library and research center only in Little Rock.
How did Bill and Hillary Clinton have
lawful authority to pick the site for Bill’s presidential library?
Moreover, did The William J. Clinton
Presidential Foundation even exist as a lawfully organized corporate entity in
1997?
Admissions Against Interest
Under siege late in 1997, in 1998, and
then safely through the Impeachment trial by early 1999, the Clinton team must
have been sure that loyal elements within the Arkansas Attorney General’s
office, the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Attorney General’s office
would never prosecute those responsible for operating the Clinton Foundation
illegally so long as the Clintons remained resident inside the White House.
Though required to do so, the Clinton
Foundation never filed an informational return (on Form 990, or 990EZ) for the
“short period” from Oct. 23, 1997 through Dec. 31, 1997. This is important
because, somehow, the Clinton Foundation acquired financial resources
sufficient to pay lawyers and fund operations starting late in October. And a
key unanswered question remains: “who advanced them the money?”
In a report to Michigan government
authorities, filed in July 1998, Rutherford explained why the Clinton
Foundation did not file an IRS Form 990 or 990EZ for 1997 because:
“The
organization [was] not in existence last fiscal year--[Not Applicable] [emphasis
added].”
In the second informational return the
Clinton Foundation ultimately did file with the IRS for 1999, on Nov. 20, 2000,
an officer of the entity admitted, under penalties of perjury:
“The
Foundation began operations in 1998 [emphasis added] and is in the early stages
of raising funds to meet the exempt purposes. Program development is in the
very early planning stage and no significant program service expenses have been
incurred.”
So, The William J. Clinton Presidential
Foundation did not exist in 1997, even as elements within the IRS rushed to
grant federal tax-exemption to the entity back to Oct. 23, 1997 as this “Determination Letter,” found on the Clinton Foundation website clearly states.
Times were certainly different from 1997
through 2000, but we remember when the IRS rigorously and ruthlessly enforced key charity laws and regulations under President
Obama.
Are former Presidents above the law?
Stillborn in 1997, the Clinton Foundation
has managed to grow into a network of entities, none of which has ever lawfully
been organized or operated. This allegation is now supported by some 200 podcasts, averaging two hours in length each, most of which are
accompanied by pull-down slide presentations that readily take viewers and
should take investigators into details of what seems to be the largest set of
unprosecuted charity frauds in history:
Bob Mueller, James Comey and Rod
Rosenstein may have “missed” the early development of this scam, from 2001
through 2005 when the FBI and DOJ “investigated” the Clinton Foundation as these
redacted records reveal.
And, on the 10th anniversary of
devastating disasters that flattened portions of Haiti, Hillary Clinton
actually crowed about US Attorney John Huber’s unconfirmed decision to wind
down the latest “investigation” of potential Clinton Foundation crimes:
This week, the Justice Department determined that the
lies that were peddled about me, my family, & @ClintonFdn are without merit.
I couldn’t be more grateful to everyone that stuck with us while we continued
to focus on the work. Let’s keep going.

people are talking about this
The Clinton Foundation’s record of
exploiting natural disasters to source funds for which they never account is as
long as it is shameless.
Americans across the political spectrum
must push our government authorities to hold operators of the Clinton charity
scam network to account.
“Bleachbit” notwithstanding, overwhelming
evidence of unprosecuted charity frauds dating to Oct. 23, 1997 hides in plain
sight
Check applicable laws, then check facts
for yourselves and remember these words from John Adams:
“Facts are
stubborn things [emphasis
added]; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of
our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
During the 2016 election cycle, the
mainstream media failed to probe the heart of the more
recent Clinton Foundation scandal -- how the Clinton family may have exploited Hillary’s
position as Secretary of State and her standing as presidential frontrunner
through November 2016.
Building fortunes through operating
charities is a monstrous affront to decent, law-abiding people of all political
persuasions, so it is not a partisan thing, here, to attack the Clintons for
their known public record of transgressions.
In fact, a better question might be to
wonder why Democrats, including Bernie Sanders, are not much more insistent
that ongoing Clinton charity scams be fully exposed, and aggressively
prosecuted by state, federal and foreign governments.
Our Russia Collusion Nightmare: All Hillary's Fault?
By J.B. Shurk
The
biggest political scandal in the history of the United States. Three
years of constant lies told by government agents, political operatives, and
deceitful news personalities. Thousands of hours of criminal
investigative interviews; thousands of written stories and television segments;
thousands of leaks and insinuations and threats. All to take down the
legitimately elected American president, Donald J. Trump.
Now
that some light is finally revealing just how rotten this whole nonsense has
been from the very beginning, the most maddening aspect of all is the one thing
not said nearly enough: every bit of this frame-up job to hang the American
president for being a Russian agent and traitor to his nation began as a way to
inoculate Hillary Clinton from her largest political vulnerabilities going into
the 2016 campaign.
Aside
from her questionable health and a lifetime of scandal, Hillary had two sizable
liabilities (of her own creation) that threatened her ability to win the
general election: (1) her use of the Clinton Foundation as a vehicle for
laundering bribes from foreign governments and moneyed interests and (2) her
decision to conduct the business of the State Department (as well as to discuss
our nation's most guarded secrets) on an unsecured private email server that
had been hacked by known and unknown foreign governments and adverse entities. Peter
Schweizer's Clinton Cash did a remarkable job exposing the Clinton Foundation as
a spectacular pay-to-play operation that had allowed Hillary to trade the
powers of her office for personal aggrandizement (including the sale of 20% of
America's uranium to Russia for, among other things, $145 million transferred
to her foundation). And even though the Obama Justice Department was doing its
best to minimize the revelation of Hillary's gross breach of national security
and slow-walk any repercussions, the American people were discovering that
life-and-death secrets had been entrusted to a person with such disregard for
our well-being that she stored them on a personal server in a downstairs
bathroom.
For
a normal person with a modicum of ethical concern, sense of shame, or patriotic
duty, these crimes would have been more than sufficient to prompt withdrawal
from an election for the country's highest office. This type of
honest self-reflection and private admission of guilt is alien to the Clintons,
though, so what would have represented immovable obstacles to anyone else
became just another set of political variables that had to be neutralized in
her favor.
I
can just imagine the conversation Hillary had with her most trusted advisers —
not the ones with the official titles like Robby Mook and Brian Fallon, whose
chief value lay in their expendable nature and the ease with which Hillary
could roll them up into any unexpected scandal to be disposed with the trash at
a future time of her convenience. I mean the real group of
confidants, the ones who have "the ends justify the means" tattooed
on their souls and have gotten away with more crimes than we'll ever
know. If you're Sid Blumenthal or John Podesta or Cheryl Mills or
Marc Elias or Lanny Davis and you know where some of the bodies are buried
along the spectacular trail of Clinton corruption through the years, then the
prospect of a massive pay-to-play scandal or criminal indictment for
mishandling top-secret intelligence or engaging wittingly or unwittingly in
espionage is just another bump on the long road of progressive relativism and
Clinton nihilism. If Clinton Cash and FBI investigators come knocking, you
simply accuse all your political opponents of being the real grifters and
foreign agents.
That's
exactly what Team Hillary did. They leveled allegations of criminal
bribery at Jeb Bush; they questioned Marco Rubio's loyalty to the United
States; but Donald Trump was the prize. A man who had spent a
lifetime in the exotic world of luxury real estate around the globe while
mixing it up with all kinds of powerful figures in that often shady world was
the ideal mark, and he also happened to be a political novice who the Democrats
universally believed would lose in a landslide of historical dimensions for
political lore long to come. When Paul Manafort joined his team just
before the kickoff to the general election and brought with him a lifetime of
political baggage that included skullduggery around Russia's zone of interest,
it must have seemed as if Christmas had come early for the Clinton
team. (Kind of makes you wonder how coincidental this unforced error
really was.)
And
so, after a lifetime in the public eye, starring in a popular television show,
and rubbing elbows with celebrities and politicians of all stripes, Donald
Trump woke up one day to find himself being generally slandered (and libeled)
as a Russian spy by the information merchants who control America's airwaves
and print media. That had to have made him laugh, considering that
the press had spent most of his foray into politics demeaning him as a greedy
capitalist playboy nationalist who selfishly placed America's interests before
those of our common world.
Yes,
before John Brennan devised a global espionage ring to frame President Trump as
a national security risk and enable the FBI to open up counterintelligence
investigations into his political associates; before Jim Comey and Andrew
McCabe attested to false information with the FISA Court; before Robert Mueller
put the screws to General Flynn in order to sink a lifetime defender of America
for political purposes; before President Obama initiated changes to security
classification that opened up scurrilous investigative records on
President-Elect Trump to an exponentially greater number of bureaucrats with
partisan motivations; before Susan Rice left an electronic CYA memorandum at
12:15 P.M. on Inauguration Day of 2017 noting that Sally Yates and James
Clapper and John Brennan and Joe Biden and Jim Comey had all agreed in the Oval
Office with President Obama to continue any investigations "by the
book"; before Samantha Power unmasked hundreds of names picked up during
the course of electronic surveillance that were deemed to somehow implicate the
new president in wrongdoing; even before the Clinton operatives and Fusion GPS
and Christopher Steele first started composing the fan fiction now known as
"the Dossier" — before all of this and everything else we have been
forced to endure for three long years, there was Hillary Clinton, doing what
she and her people know best: accusing her political opponent of the very
crimes she had committed herself.
As
awful as this orchestrated campaign against President Trump has been, it is
absolutely maddening to realize that none of it would have happened had Hillary
Clinton not engaged in one of the greatest pay-for-play operations in American
history while placing our most guarded secrets (as well as the very lives of
our soldiers and civilians) on a silver platter for those governments and adversaries
who wish us the most harm in this world. Three years of Russian
hysteria happened only because of the deep corruption of Hillary Clinton.
This
scheme of political projection and wicked treachery should go down as a final
reminder that America survives today only because President Trump managed to
prevail against the nearly insurmountable wave of our government's intelligence
agencies, the justice system, media propagandists, and the combined wills of
the Democrats and NeverTrump Republicans intending to swamp him.
Only six percent of the billions
of dollars the "Foundation" takes in goes to charity. The
rest subsidizes the lavish lifestyles of the Clintons and their sycophants;
those people who have sold their souls to rub shoulders with unadulterated
power.

Clinton Foundation bleeding money with no Clintons in high
office
The Bill,
Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation can no longer raise enough money to
cover its expenses, ever since Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign failed
to propel her into an office from which she could dispense political favors.
Clinton Foundation reports to the IRS for the last two tax years have
demonstrated that without anyone to grant boons, fewer donors are interested in
supporting it.
Andrew
Stiles reports for the Free
Beacon:
The Clinton Foundation reported a loss of more than $16 million in
2018, according to newly released tax
records, marking the second
consecutive year of losses since Hillary Clinton's humiliating defeat to
President Donald J. Trump in 2016.
The foundation reported total revenue of just $30.7 million,
including $24.2 million worth of grants and contributions, a record low for the
alleged "charity." That figure was well short of the foundation's
total expenses for the year—$47.5 million— resulting in a net loss of $16.8
million.
The previous year, the Clinton Foundation reported a net loss of
$16.1 million. In total, the organization has lost a staggering $32.9 million
since Hillary Clinton's lifelong quest for the presidency crumbled to dust in
November 2016.
The
contrast with previous years when political favors were a lure is striking:
The Clinton Foundation posted its highest revenue haul ($249
million) in 2009, the year Hillary was sworn in as President Barack Obama's
secretary of state. By 2013, the foundation had reported an additional $392.2
million in revenue, and went on to raise $344.4 million between 2014 and 2016.
Between 2008 and 2016, the Clinton Foundation reported total
revenue in excess of $1.1 billion, or an annual average of $130.4 million.
Needless to say, Clinton's stunning failure to defeat Donald Trump in the 2016
election appears to have had a significant impact on the foundation's ability
to raise money.
US Attorney
for Utah, John Huber, has been tasked with investigating the Clinton
Foundation. So far there has not been a single leak out of his office over its
work. That could mean either that they have turned up nothing, or that the
investigation and grand jury are proceeding with the secrecy that the law
demands.

has been fighting corruption―and winning―for years. In Throw Them All Out, he
exposed insider trading by members of Congress, leading to the passage of the
STOCK Act. In Extortion,
he uncovered how politicians use mafia-like tactics to enrich themselves. And
in Clinton Cash,
he revealed the Clintons’ massive money machine and sparked an FBI

Now he explains
how a new corruption has taken hold, involving larger sums of money than ever
before. Stuffing tens of thousands of dollars into a freezer has morphed into
multibillion-dollar equity deals done in the dark corners of the world.
An American bank
opening in China would be prohibited by US law from hiring a slew of family
members of top Chinese politicians. However, a Chinese bank opening in America
can hire anyone it wants. It can even invite the friends and families of
American politicians to invest in can’t-lose deals.
President Donald
Trump’s children have made front pages across the world for their dicey
transactions. However, the media has barely looked into questionable deals made
by those close to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Mitch McConnell, and
lesser-known politicians who have been in the game longer.
In many parts of
the world, the children of powerful political figures go into business and
profit handsomely, not necessarily because they are good at it, but because
people want to curry favor with their influential parents. This is a relatively
new phenomenon in the United States. But for relatives of some prominent

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are the
self-styled Prince and Princess of America. Their swift, gilded rise to
extraordinary power in Donald Trump’s White House is unprecedented and
dangerous. In Kushner, Inc., investigative journalist Vicky Ward
digs beneath the myth the couple has created, depicting themselves as the
voices of reason in an otherwise crazy presidency, and reveals that Jared and
Ivanka are not just the President’s chief enablers: they, like him, appear
disdainful of rules, of laws, and of ethics. They are entitled inheritors of
the worst kind; their combination of ignorance, arrogance, and an insatiable
lust for power has caused havoc all over the world, and may threaten the
democracy of the United States.
Ward follows their trajectory from New
Jersey and New York City to the White House, where the couple’s many forays
into policy-making and national security have mocked long-standing U.S. policy
and protocol. They have pursued an agenda that could increase their wealth
while their actions have mostly gone unchecked. In Kushner, Inc.,
Ward holds Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump accountable: she unveils the couple’s
self-serving transactional motivations and how those have propelled them into the
highest levels of the US government where no one, the President included, has
been able to stop them.

COULTER - SWAMP KEEPER DONALD TRUMP AND HIS PARASITIC FAMILY
One cautionary example is
President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, whose ticket into Harvard,
according to the 2006 book The Price of Admission: How America’s Ruling Class Buys
Its Way into Elite Colleges,
was his father’s $2.5 million dollar gift to the university. Jared got his
Harvard degree, but he has been the butt of social-media taunts precisely
because his daddy had to pay a fortune to get the school to admit him. The cost
of a brag-worthy degree? Millions. The cost of the right- and left-brain stuff?
Priceless.

While other
reporters waste their time examining Donald Trump’s public statements,
interviewing his high school classmates and poring over legal filings,
investigative reporter Vicky Ward has produced the definitive book on our
current president.
For example, did you know our president got breast implants in
high school (Ivanka claimed she was just “curvy”), bought his way into Harvard
(Jared is even dumber than you thought), and together have no books in their
New York apartment? (Some dispute that there are no books,
citing “a few art books” or “decorator-curated books.”)
Ward’s recently released blockbuster, Kushner, Inc.: Greed. Ambition. Corruption. The Extraordinary
Story of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, tells you all this and more about our actual commander in
chief: President Javanka.
On the bright side, Jared has stopped rolling his eyes so much about his
father-in-law now that Trump is president, er, “president.” Until Trump’s
nomination was a virtual lock, Jared was back in New York pretending not to be
related to him.
Only after Trump had racked up a slew of primary wins did a lightbulb go on in
Jared’s head: Hey! This presidential campaign could be great for
business! According to a close associate, Jared viewed the campaign as
a terrific “networking opportunity.”
In short order, Jared moved himself in, and moved campaign manager Corey
Lewandowski out.
Trump’s loyal campaign manager had been with
him through the “Mexican rapists” speech, Macy’s dumping Trump’s ties, the
“McCain isn’t a war hero” controversy, the Muslim ban, the “hand size”
embarrassment, and on and on and on. But when all was said and done and Trump
was still cruising to victory, Jared and Ivanka walked in and delivered an
ultimatum to Trump: “It’s Corey or us.”
Jared would later shyly cop to being “[The Man
Who] Won Trump the White House,” as a Forbes magazine cover story put it.
And who understood the beating heart of the
Trump voter like Jared and Ivanka? With Javanka in charge, the campaign
schedule was soon bristling with such items as “women’s empowerment week,”
“education week” and “entrepreneur week.”
In no time, Trump was 16 points down and
sinking fast. Steve Bannon was brought in, whereupon he promptly threw out all
the Working Women’s Intersectional Global Warming weeks and got back to Trump’s
issues.
Jared assured Bannon that the campaign had $25
million on hand. That’s when Bannon had to explain “debits” to Kushner. The
campaign had $25 million — provided you didn’t count all the unpaid expenses.
When those were included, it turned out the campaign was in debt.
As the SAT board had discovered, math wasn’t
Jared’s strong suit.
Although it has been well reported that Jared’s
Harvard admission was purchased for him by his father, Ward produces a shocking
new detail. Of the five tracks at Jared’s high school, he wasn’t at the bottom
of track one, perhaps suitable for a lesser Ivy League with solid SAT scores.
He wasn’t even in track two. Jared was in track three. But now he has co-opted the Make America Great
Again movement for his own personal advancement. I guess that makes him smarter
than Trump.
Apart from staging photo-ops, including her
“princess moment” at the inaugural ball (her words), Ivanka’s first order of
business upon winning the presidency was assigning White House office space.
Her map showed a big office for her, a big office for Jared — and also a nice
corner office, which was designated “Trump family office.”
Transition officials, Ward reports, “were
surprised that the first lady did not appear to have an office. So, too, was
Melania Trump, who quickly put an end to Ivanka’s scheming.”
Jared’s BFF, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman (MBS), and the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Muhammad bin Zayed (MBZ),
refer to Jared as “the clown prince.” Bone-cutter MBS assured those around him
that he had Jared “in my pocket.”
MBS and MBZ derided Jared’s Middle East peace
plan as infantile, while using him to achieve their objective: war with Qatar.
According to an American businessman’s leaked emails, their attitude was,
“Nobody would even waste a cup of coffee on him if it wasn’t for who he is
married to.”
As one former top White House official
explained: “Jared never understands the details of anything. He’s just
impressed by names.”
Following meetings at the White House and also
with the Kushners over their 666 Fifth Avenue property, former Qatari Prime
Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim reported back to the emir that “the people
atop the new administration were heavily motivated by personal financial
interest.”
After Ivanka’s speech introducing her father at
the Republican National Convention — rivaled only by Billy Carter’s
introduction of his brother, Jimmy! — she tweeted from her personal account:
“Shop Ivanka’s look from her #RNC speech.”
After the Trump family was interviewed on CBS’s
“60 Minutes,” Ivanka’s company emailed out a “style alert” advertising the
$10,800 diamond bracelet she’d worn on the show — “available from Ivanka Trump
Fine Jewelry.”
Ivanka has managed to win a slew of trademarks
in China since her father became the Figurehead President, with several
approvals being fast-tracked at about the same time Trump was hosting Chinese
President Xi Jinping at Mar-a-Lago.
Instead of “Make America Great Again,” the
motto of the Trump presidency is, as one of Trump’s legal spokesmen put it:
“The advance team for Jared and Ivanka.”
This is not what anyone voted for.
One
cautionary example is President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, whose ticket
into Harvard, according to the 2006 book The Price of Admission:
How America’s Ruling Class Buys Its Way into Elite Colleges, was his
father’s $2.5 million dollar gift to the university. Jared got his Harvard
degree, but he has been the butt of social-media taunts precisely because his
daddy had to pay a fortune to get the school to admit him. The cost of a
brag-worthy degree? Millions. The cost of the right- and left-brain stuff?
Priceless.
A VERY STABLE GENIUS
“This taut and terrifying
book is among the most closely observed accounts of Donald J. Trump’s shambolic
tenure in office to date.” - Dwight Garner, The
New York Times
Read an excerpt:
‘You’re a
bunch of dopes and babies’: Inside Trump’s stunning tirade against generals
THE BOOK
Washington
Post national investigative reporter Carol Leonnig
and White House bureau chief Philip Rucker, both Pulitzer Prize winners,
provide the definitive insider narrative of Donald Trump’s unique presidency
with shocking new reporting and insight into its implications.
“I
alone can fix it.” So went Donald J. Trump’s march to the presidency on July
21, 2016, when he accepted the Republican presidential nomination in Cleveland,
promising to restore what he described as a fallen nation. Yet over the
subsequent years, as he has undertaken the actual work of the commander in
chief, it has been hard to see beyond the daily chaos of scandal,
investigation, and constant bluster. It would be all too easy to mistake
Trump’s first term for one of pure and uninhibited chaos, but there were
patterns to his behavior and that of his associates. The universal value of the
Trump administration is loyalty - not to the country, but to the president
himself - and Trump’s North Star has been the perpetuation of his own power,
even when it meant imperiling our shaky and mistrustful democracy.
Leonnig
and Rucker, with deep and unmatched sources throughout Washington, D.C., tell
of rages and frenzies but also moments of courage and perseverance. Relying on
scores of exclusive new interviews with some of the most senior members of the
Trump administration and other firsthand witnesses, the authors reveal the
forty-fifth president up close, taking readers inside Robert Mueller’s Russia
investigation as well as the president’s own haphazard but ultimately
successful legal defense. Here for the first time certain officials who have
felt honor-bound not to publicly criticize a sitting president or to divulge
what they witnessed in a position of trust tell the truth for the benefit of
history.
This peerless and gripping narrative reveals
President Trump at his most unvarnished and
exposes how decision making in his administration
has been driven by a reflexive logic of self-
preservation and self-aggrandizement - but a logic
nonetheless. This is the story of how an
unparalleled president has scrambled to survive and
tested the strength of America’s democracy and its
common heart
as a nation.
