The fallout from the Paradise Papers reveal is likely to be much bigger than people expected and due to the great work by The Guardian we are likely to get the information at the same time Mueller does.
First report was about Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
Now comes documentation about Kushner.
Its complicated but the Guardian is stating that Kushner's company Cadre received $ 850,000 from Putin associate Yuri Milner who has direct ties to Russian state institutions. Making it even more complicated is that Milner has hundreds of millions invested in Facebook and Twitter
Look at the diagram in the Guardian to see how involved this is.

(17,984 posts)The claim is that Zuckerberg personally met with Milner and invited him to fund Facebook, which he did. However, Zuckerberg did not know that Milner had close ties to Putin and the state bank? Yet, at the same time, Milner funded Cadre, and Kushner is up to his eyeballs in Putin funding trouble?
I'm sorry, but this is lame. Why do they continue to excuse Zuckerberg?

(90,686 posts)These traitors don't even hate America, land of their birth. America is simply irrelevant to their thinking and way of life, which is all about money. They have no ideology to pursue -- we have not even been betrayed by ideological fervor. They sold us out for money without a trace of guilt or shame.
The story of Judas Iscariot and his 30 pieces of silver doesn't even apply here, because Judas' betrayal was about ideology, and the money was completely incidental. He felt horrified and ashamed for what he had done, and committed suicide.
What on Earth do Trump and his ilk even feel? It was only ever money. (Except General Kelly -- that was rage. )
