This is precisely why, when applying for a security clearance, your finances are investigated.
Do you have any debt?
Do you pay your debts?
Do you pay your debts on time?
What is your credit rating? (Seriously)
Do you have any financial exposure to foreign entities?
Remember: Kushner was ONE BILLION DOLLARS in debt, and leveraged the power of the United States State Department to help secure a deal for himself.
See below link.
Did Kushner give up intel on Jamal Khashoggi to Saudi Arabia to help broker a deal?
Did Kushner undermine the State Dept. negotiations over the Qatar Crisis as part of his investment deal / billion dollar debt in 666 5th Ave?
And if you were laundering large amounts of money for said, foreign entities, this would be one way to do it:
Mark my words… I’ve been saying this for years now with Trump. The scale of money laundering is going to be truly global.
I mean, we’ve *KNOWN* trump has laundered money through his properties since at least 2015. Why has that never gotten traction?

Trump’s lesson from that fine was that he needed to further obfuscate his business dealings by creating additional shell corporations to move stuff around in.
He has *over* 500 separate shell companies that he moves assets through.
We *know* this.
I will never understand how that Financial Crimes Enforcement Network fine against Trump, levied in March of 2015 for money laundering, was never a factor in the 2016 elections.
We *know* that Mueller was investigating money laundering by Trump associates.
We *know* that money was being laundered through the Bank of Cyprus.
Funny how Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross was Vice Chair for the Bank of Cyprus.
What ever happened with that investigation?
Go back to 1991 and follow the collapse of the Soviet Union. Soviet citizen's investments in infrastructure just disappeared… assets, military equipment, property, all converted to one of the largest grabs in history, creating trillions of dollars in ill gotten gains.
Money is useless unless it is moving around. And the only way to make that money legitimate, is to launder it. Queue up the real estate slump, starting in 1990… Trump owed $4 billion, yet managed to invest in casinos, apartments, hotels, etc…
Where did that money come from?
