2. In 2007, a young Jared Kushner bought 666 5th Avenue for $1.8 billion, at the peak of the real estate bubble.
His timing couldn't have been worse. The recession hit, the commercial real estate market collapsed and the tower started hemorrhaging money

4. In March 2017, Anbang offered an extraordinary bailout package to rescue the tower and send the Kushners' $400M in cash

5. Jared, COMPLETELY COINCIDENTALLY, was acting as the administration's main liaison to China.

8. Brookfield says that the subsidiary involved in the transaction has no "Qatari connection"
So who are they investors behind the deal? They won't say.
Do they have interests w/the Trump administration? No one knows.
