Mixing America's national interest with Kushner's personal interest is bad enough in the context of U.S. companies, but it's downright dangerous when it comes to foreign entities. That hasn't stopped Jared, though. 1/ nytimes.com/2018/02/28/bus…
A week after Trump's victory, Kushner met w the Chair of China's Anbang Bank to discuss a deal that would infuse more than $400 million in Chinese cash into Kushner's distressed 666 5th Avenue property. It fell apart only after it became public. 2/ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
And we can't forget the strange meeting, arranged by the then-Russian Ambassador, between Kushner and Sergei Gorkov, the KGB-associated head of Russia's state VEB bank, in December 2016. (The U.S. sanctioned the bank in 2014). 3/ nytimes.com/2017/03/27/us/…
When the meeting came to light months later, Kushner claimed it was about policy matters in his capacity as a presidential transition figure. But the Russians--both the Bank and the Kremlin--claimed it was about Kushner Co. matters. 4/ washingtonpost.com/politics/expla…
This double dealing didn't stop w Trump's inauguration. Earlier this year, @eosnos and @adamentous reported that China's Ambassador told superiors that Kushner raised private company matters during sessions to prepare for last year's Xi-Trump summit. 5/ newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…
We also know Kushner over the past couple years sought financing from France, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & S Korea. 6/ bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-… 
And that's just some of what we know. There's almost certainly much more we don't know bc the WH no longer releases visitor logs. With so much apparent corruption and conflict of interest, it's little wonder the admin has chosen to stonewall the public. 7/
With all of these episodes, the real danger--beyond making a mockery of ethics regs--is that the admin has tailored America's foreign policy in response to potential sweetheart deals from foreigners.
