MBS made the “investment” over the objections of the Saudi sovereign fund advisory board, which included : “the inexperience of the Affinity Fund management; the possibility that the kingdom would be responsible for “the bulk of the investment and risk”; due diligence on the fledgling firm’s operations that found them “unsatisfactory in all aspects”; a proposed asset management fee that “seems excessive”; and “public relations risks” from Mr. Kushner’s prior role as a senior adviser to his father-in-law, former President Donald J. Trump, according to minutes of the panel’s meeting last June 30.”

But I’m sure this totally wasn’t delayed payback for agreeing to ignore the MBS-orchestrated murder of journalist Adnan Khashoggi while Trump was in the WH. And before you go screeching about not having evidence of that, I have just as much evidence as you and James Comer do that Joe Biden was involved in crooked business deals with his son.
