3/ Brookfield, the Canadian real estate mega-corp, is bailing out Kushner’s 666 5th disaster with an implausibly generous deal. BPY is tied to Qatar and UAE, has a shady reputation, and is on record now for investing in Brazil bc of fascist Balsanaro.

Has anyone considered that maybe Kushner is desperate to protect Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) because he may hold hard evidence of Kushner’s (and Trump’s) conspiracy/grand corrupt bargain with Russia, Saudi, and UAE? 1/

3/ Is an unpaid Senior Advisor an "office of trust"? There is historical debate about the scope of this phrase, and courts have not resolved this question. But in 1982, the OLC (the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel) suggested broad coverage: justice.gov/file/22956/dow…
