The popular vote fact will never go away. It will be part of the "Trump Fiasco" that will be discussed for generations in History, psychology, philosophy, communications, government, etc... classes.

Will they also teach in those classes the fact that if you take 2 counties out of that "popular vote", not STATES, counties.
The beast would have lost by a greater margin than she won by.

And that's not taking in the fact shenanigans may have taken place in those 2 counties.

Joshua Harris, a founder of Apollo Global Management, was advising Trump administration officials on infrastructure policy. During that period, he met on multiple occasions with Jared Kushner, in November, Apollo lent $184 million to Mr. Kushner’s family real estate firm, Kushner Companies. The loan was to refinance the mortgage on a Chicago skyscraper. It was triple the size of the average property loan made by Apollo’s real estate lending arm, securities filings show.

An even larger loan came from Citigroup, which lent the firm and one of its partners $325 million to help finance a group of office buildings in Brooklyn. That loan was made in the spring of 2017, shortly after Mr. Kushner met in the White House with Citigroup’s chief executive, Michael L. Corbat, according to people briefed on the meeting.

Sure, Tell yourself that if it makes you feel better.

"There is little precedent for a top White House official meeting with executives of companies as they contemplate sizable loans to his business, say government ethics experts.

“This is exactly why senior government officials, for as long back as I have any experience, don’t maintain any active outside business interests,” said Don Fox, the former acting director of the Office of Government Ethics during the Obama administration and, before that, a lawyer for the Air Force and Navy during Republican and Democratic administrations. “The appearance of conflicts of interest is simply too great.”

If you honestly don't know, that's stupefying, but the two links should help.

You guys that claim to hate the left seem to know very little about it. (I guess that makes sense in a round about way)

These are different banks than referenced in previous post:

New York's banking regulator has asked Deutsche Bank and two other small lenders about their financial relationships with Jared Kushner, his family members and the family's real estate business, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The Department of Financial Services, the New York regulator, sent a letter last week to Deutsche Bank, Signature Bank and New York Community Bank seeking information about financial arrangements, such as loans and lines of credit, with the Kushner Companies and the family members, the source said.

The regulator, which oversees the safety of New York banks, has asked whether there are any personal guarantees by Jared Kushner on the financing arrangements, to understand the banks' risk if there is a default and the Kushners are unable to pay. The letter is also seeking information about whether any collateral was provided to secure the loans

Seems like they are also working the State charges angle which Trump cannot pardon.

Kushner is not a "politician". Never has been and never will be.

There is this too from feb 15:

Kushner Investors Subpoenaed by U.S. Tax Authorities, Source Says - Bloomberg

U.S. tax authorities have requested documents from lenders and investors in real estate projects managed by Jared Kushner’s family, according to a person familiar with the matter.

They have gathered information from people who lent money and assembled investors for some Kushner Cos. real estate projects in New York and New Jersey, the person said. Those projects involve deals dating back to 2010.

The Internal Revenue Service and the Justice Department issued the subpoenas within the past year, according to the person. The tax inquiry appears unrelated to other investigations that have since burst into public view. It began before Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed in May to investigate Russian election meddling. In a separate action around that time, U.S. prosecutors in Brooklyn sought information from Kushner Cos. about its use of a foreign visa program.

Funny how a lot of this Kushner stuff was known a few months ago and they are just now rerunning the story. Or you guys just don't pay attention like you think you do.

Been a rough week for poor ol' Kush. Trump picked the wrong guy to **** with in Schneiderman (NY Attorney General) who ate Trump's lunch with his case v. Trump University. Trump tweeted:

Donald J. Trump
✔
@realDonaldTrump
It’s Thursday. Which brand of eyeliner is the nation’s worst AG @AGSchneiderman wearing today?

8:27 AM - Jun 26, 2014

Payback is a *****. Now the NY AG is working parallel to Mueller with potential state charges versus the whole corrupt gang. Trump pardon = nada.

Douche Bank providing the failing Kushner firms with money to stave off bankruptcy. Sound familiar?

This is a real ‘named’ source:

A lawyer representing the company, Charles J. Harder, said in a written statement: “Kushner Cos. is not under investigation for any tax issues. It has had no contact with anyone at the IRS or Justice Department Tax Division. It has received no subpoenas or audit requests about its taxes. It is not in tax court on any audits. If there is an investigation about others’ taxes, it has nothing to do with Kushner Cos. or its businesses.”
