Tornado Alley (PROG)

"Ethics experts say that such a deal creates the appearance of potential payback for Mr. Kushner’s actions in the White House — or of a bid for future favor if Mr. Trump seeks and wins another presidential term in 2024."

"Appearance", they say?

The graft in that administration was right out in the open. From collecting emoluments at his hotels, to charging the Secret Service inflated rates to protect him and his spawn.

Don't even get me started on Jared and Ivanka's $640 million winnings, Ivanka's China copyrights or the millions in donor dollars funneled to family and friends.

And then there were the more subtle grifts. Having the air force land and refuel near his resort in Scotland, instead of at military bases where they would have more suitable prices and accommodations.

“I know nothing about an Air Force plane landing at an airport (which I do not own and have nothing to do with) near Turnberry Resort (which I do own) in Scotland, and filling up with fuel, with the crew staying overnight at Turnberry (they have good taste!),” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter. “NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.”

But documents obtained from Scottish government agencies show that the Trump Organization, and Mr. Trump himself, played a direct role in setting up an arrangement between the Turnberry resort and officials at Glasgow Prestwick Airport.

As part of that arrangement, the Trump Organization worked to get Trump Turnberry added to a list of hotels that the airport would routinely send aircrews to, even though the Turnberry resort is 20 miles from the airport, farther away than many other hotels, and has higher advertised prices.

Trump Organization executives held a series of meetings with the airport officials to negotiate terms that would lead to more referrals, the documents show.

It literally never ended. And now Trump steals top secret compartmented intelligence on Iranian missiles, and the Saudis give Jared $2 billion to play with and commission?

Not that it would be the first go round for that shit..
