Jared Kushner Hacked Phone Reveals Secret Negotiations, Millions in Transactions

it's going to take decades to unravel all the corruption by this administration it is staggering and they are destroying records in violation of law because "pardons for everyone" on the way out

I am pretty darn jaded these days, but I find myself staggered. edit after reply: > What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Ahh, now the arrest of the former chief of Germany's BND, related to what seemed like a random country "Azerbaijan" is making a bit more sense?

So Kushner's phone was hacked around the same time as Hunter Biden's laptop? Why has the latter captured the media so much more then the former?

I am very jaded about the current administration and also the previous...few...or several? That being said, similar to the Hunter Biden laptop situation, I think you do have to be careful. Sure they -could- have the device or it -could- have been hacked, but what is the proof that the hacked or on-device information wasn't planted among real items to make it appear legitimate? That was always the big if for me with the Hunter stuff, so I will extend the same skepticism here, knowing full well it could definitely be true in either case.

This kind of stuff gives an insight into how horrible centralized governance is. All these manipulations happening behind the scenes constantly which people are affected by but can't make sense of. It's not really surprising though, it's just part of the system. The system is designed in a way to attract certain people and make them behave a certain way. Power should be much more decentralized so that this doesn't happen.

Not to make this political, but if the democrats gain control they better at least actually try to prosecute these criminals and not just make it yet another circle jerk asking for donations and never actually accomplishing anything. At some point the ruling class is going to mess around and everyone’s head ends up on a pile regardless. This is the time to demonstrate your head doesn’t deserve on the pile too. Time is running out. Just saying. Things happen fast when they finally cross that threshold that always comes as a surprise.

I also feel people are missing the forest for the trees in that discussion in that Jared Kushner is a private citizen and the son in law of the president who somehow is negotiating with foreign heads of states despite having no mandate from the American people to do so . Forget a hacked phone, why is a nepo baby running around negotiating on behalf of a country without holding any office

Why bother with hacks when it's an open secret that the US gov is compromised?

zmmmmm

You have to think the current administration is completely and totally owned by foreign interests at this point. The question is, what do you do as the new administration coming in? Presumably you assume every system and every person is compromised all the way down, like a compromised server - clean wipe and re-install. One would assume that, like any good hacker, the current set would be heavily focused on ensuring they can survive a reboot / wipe. The question is, what would they be doing to achieve that?

Everything lately makes me want to re-watch Peter Finch's monologue from Network.

Huh, we know all countries try to access every other countries' secrets, even their allies'... but the way they described the Dutch hacking into a phone belonging to a high-level US diplomat / government employee seemed a bit too casual, no? Maybe they're just locking in to the "We are currently clean on OPSEC" vibe ¯\(ツ)/¯

At this point I'm so jaded that I can't trust anything in this as its from vanity fair of all places. Not a place known for quality journalism.

Everything going on in US politics right now is new to Americans, but coming from an "advanced" democracy (India) let me tell you – this feeling of knowing that your leaders are openly corrupt and there's nothing you can do about it is just going to become a part of life. Learn to live with it. Better yet, learn to exploit it yourself. This is how your country works now, and the floodgates aren't going to close.

Do they present any evidence to support these claims?

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

The default assumption must be that Putin and MBS are the US Heads Of State.

Just as a clarification since many people don't seem to be reading the article. This article only discussed things that happened pre-2020. It also seems like it has less to do with Kushner himself being enriched and more about Arab Gilfstates trying to clandestinely normalize relations with Israel without letting their populace know. I'm not saying this isn't bad or he didn't break laws or anything just everything associated with this seems to be more in line with international realpolitik, spy and espionage rather than Kurshner taking stacks of cash to make himself rich.
