Do you believe Jared Kushner in his meetings with Russian ambassadors and bankers was trying to leverage the White House to get favorable loans for him and his father in law's projects ?

3. I don't understand why anyone is calling it "loans".

The proper word would be bribe? Or payoff? Cost of doing business?

There is absolutely no reason to think the Russians want to be paid back. They want a change in policy like -

We will no longer agree to Article 5 of Nato Alliance - Done

Quit Paris climate deal - Done

Lift sanctions - In the works.

Ignore Ukraine problem - Done

Release intel from Allies - Done


and many more

The Trump WH is a business and it is selling public policy positions to the Russians.
