“Hare Kushner, Hare Kushner,
Kushner, Kushner, Hare Hare”
In
Sanskrit, Hare (pronounced Hari) in here used in
“the vocative form of Hari, another name of Vishnu, meaning 'he who
removes illusion'. Another
interpretation is he “He
who is all-attractive, ” (1) as
in Kushner playing Ken to Ivanka's trailer trash Barbie.
The
New York Times, in
a front-page story, reported today that our Caesar Disgustus
overruled his own government and granted security clearances to his
daughter and son-in-law. Jared Kushner had been flagged by
intelligence officials as well as Don McGahn, then serving as White
House legal adviser. When the family complained, whining that they
were being “targeted for petty reasons”, Disgustus went to his
chief-of-staff and ordered that they be granted clearances. (2)
“It
is not known precisely what factors led to the problems with Mr.
Kushner's security clearance. Officials had raised questions about
his own and his family's real estate business's ties to foreign
governments and investors, and about initially unreported contacts he
had with foreigners.”(3) The Times does
not get specific here, but the article is alluding to reports that
United States foreign policy has appeared, at times, to hinge upon
favorable treatment of Kushner in his quest to secure funding to
finance that huge debt on the property at 666 Fifth Avenue. Kushner,
aping his father-in-law, bought the property in 2007 at about twice
what it was worth, just as the real estate market was about to tank,
leaving him “under water”--that is, owing much more than the
property is worth—to the tune of well over a billion dollars. This
alone would have flagged any application for access to top-secret
information. Add to this his participation at the tRUMP Tower
meeting with the Russians during the campaign, as well as initially
unreported meetings with the Russian ambassador and with officials of
a Russian bank under U.S. Sanctions, and it is no wonder that
authorities balked.
Initially,
reports The
Times, “Mr.
Kushner...operated with a provisional clearance as his background
check proceeded. In an entry to Mr. Kushner's personnel file on
Sept. 15, 2017, the head of the personnel security division, Carl
Kline wrote, 'Per conversation with WH counsel the clearance was
changed to interim Top Secret until we can confirm that the DOJ or
someone else actually granted final clearance. This action is out of
an abundance of caution because the background investigation has not
been competed.” (4)
The
question of the Kushner's clearances were raised when it was revealed
that former presidential aide Rob Porter was working with a temporary
clearance, as were several others, nearly a year into the
administration.
“In
May 2018, the White House Council's Office, which at the time was led
by Mr. McGahn, recommended to Mr. Trump that Mr. Kushner not be given
a clearance at that level. But the next day, Mr. Trump ordered Mr.
Kelly to grant it to Mr. Kushner anyway...
“The
question of Mr. Kushner's access to intelligence was a flash point
almost from the beginning of the administration. The initial
background check into Mr. Kushner dragged on for more than a year,
creating a distraction for the White House, which struggled to
explain why one of the people closest to the president had yet to be
given the proper approval to be trusted with the country's most
sensitive information” (5)
Indeed,
it has.
So
Jared takes his wife into the oval office and whine that the were
being unfairly treated. Jared's clearance, following the Porter
scandal, had been downgraded from Top Secret to merely 'Secret',
which, as former security expert Malcomb Nance has observed, meant
that he couldn't function as plenipotentiary charged with
negotiating, among other things in his vast 'portfolio', peace in the
Middle East.
When
ordered to upgrade Jared's credentials, both Chief of Staff John
Kelly and White House Legal Counsel McGahn balked, agreeing to issue
the orders but then filing statements that they were ordered to do
so.
There
is only one reason that one puts such notations in the files and that
is to cover your ass.
The
question is “ what in Jared and Ivanka's files warrants this
'abundance of caution'?” Could it be the attempts to reach out to
foreign governments and banks—some of which are sanctioned by the
U.S. government—in order to find funding to keep the Kushner real
estate 'empire' afloat? What about the patent licenses issued by the
Chinese government to Ivanka and her brands? There are other
questions, what was Jared's role in moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and what was the personal pay-off? What
really lies behind the U.S. Cessation of aid to the Palestinian
Authorities? What was the pay off? We need to know the answers to
these and many more questions.
“A
recent report by NBC revealed that Mr. Kline had overruled two career
security specialists who had rejected Mr. Kushner's application based
on the F.B.I.'s concerns...Mr. Kline was acting on the directive sent
down by the president, one of the people familiar with the matter
said.” (6)
Of
course both Disgustus and his larvae have denied any involvement, and
Jared remains transfixed as sphinx. Boldface lies. Why are they
lying? What are they trying to hide?
The
only defense appears to be a combination of demonstrable gross
incompetence and the constitutional inability to tell truth. It was
revealed that in yet another unprecedented discovery in which the White House
had failed to do due diligence, Kline overruled others and granted
security clearances to over 30 other White House aides.
The
pungent odor wafting from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue exceeds anything
in the American experience. Kushner and trailer trash Barbie are
helping us brush back the flies swarming about, to reveal the stinking turd
that lies beneath.
“An
Br'er Putin, he jus' laugh and laugh”
Impeach
and Imprison.
