He has done a lot of shady things in his business life. The problem with congressional investigation is that this is a private individual. He isn't part of government. It isn't part of government oversight to look into the business dealings of individuals. That is the job of attorneys-general, and only when evidence of a crime exists.
This is just harassment of a private citizen for political purposes. If the Democrats get back the house in 2024, should they investigate Jared Kushner?
If a private individual is allegedly acting in concert or on the behalf of a government official, then the private individuals alleged actions would be subject to oversight, especially if the government official is the Vice President at the time. If the Dems wish to alleged Jared sold access to Trump, it would be equally legitimate. Except this isn't legitimate and is simply partisan harassment

Quote:Next Dems will have to be remined that Schumer once supported the filibuster and the Senate was the "cooling plate of democracy" when it was politically convenient for him.
Where is the "whole new level"?
Yeah because it's not like a politician can change their opinion on something
oh wait

Quote:If the President has a duty to submit a nominee no matter how close to an election (as was allegedly the case with Obama), then Trump did his duty. If Trump should have waited until after the election, so should have Obama.
If the Senate had a duty to vote, then Reid violated such duty.
As I understand it it was not during an election YEAR.

Of course politicians change opinions, it's called political convenience.
2016 was not an election year.

I believe Helios was referring to the year Reid made that comment. It was 2005 - not an election year.
