We previously reported on how Jared Kushner had received billions from the Saudis as an investment after Donald Trump left office.
There is, on the surface, more than enough reason to investigate it to see if this was something Kushner worked out while he was representing Trump during his administration.
Rep. James Comer (R-KY) hinted that he would not be doing that, mostly because he believes it could cost him his career.
That’s Not the Way It Works
The main question here is if some type of deal was made for Trump to leave the Crown Prince alone for the death of Khashoggi in return for the investment with Kushner.
There was a congressional probe that was taking place, but Comer killed it as soon as he took over the Oversight committee.
Comer was asked if it was “politically unsustainable” for him to investigate the Trump administration, specifically this inquiry about Kushner getting billions from the Saudis.
He responded, “I don’t disagree with what you said.”
Comer added, “I don’t disagree with the Democrats and their criticism of the previous administration.
“We have a problem here that needs a legislative solution.
“That’s why this Biden investigation is so important.
“There’s a legislative solution to this, and it can be bipartisan.
“The Democrats complained about Kushner’s foreign dealings.
“Republicans are certainly complaining about the entire Biden family’s foreign business dealings.”
Okay… so why not conduct both investigations so there is no appearance of partisanship in the committee?
Maybe that is where I differ from most people.
I want government corruption out, regardless of the party.
Our politicians only seem interested in rooting out the corruption for the other side.

Very good article filled with respect, intelligence and common sense. All of which are sadly missing in DC. I agree with all you said.
