NEW YORK (AP) — The Kushner family real estate company has been fined $210,000 by New York City regulators following an Associated Press investigation that showed it routinely filed false documents with the city claiming it had no rent-regulated tenants in its buildings when it, in fact, had hundreds.

The city buildings department on Monday fined the Kushner Cos. for filing 42 false applications for construction work on more than a dozen buildings when presidential adviser Jared Kushner ran the business.

The false documents allowed the company to escape extra scrutiny during construction that watchdog group Housing Rights Initiative has said led to harassment of low-paying, rent-regulated tenants to get them to leave.

The Kushner Cos. did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

1. Just think of all the millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars that have had to be spent...

investigating Trump and his family and team.

2. And what do you want to bet

one year from now, the fine will still not be paid.

5. Most disgusting part is that no one will go to jail....

The public is suffering economic death by a thousand cuts by these mobsters, while a man caught stealing milk for his kids will literally lose his life from being caught in the complexities of our justice system.

6. I expect that this should have been done years ago

and after giving both families big passes over several decades, the city finally got around to it. I.e., it took a media outlet to trigger this.

7. A one-time fine of $210K... how much $ did these frauds allow them to make?

Sounds like this small fine enabled massive profits. Totally worth it on their end. Like Wall Street banksters do every day -- break the law, make obscene profits, use a sliver of those profits to pay the fines, pocket the rest.

You know what would have a better chance of deterring this kind of fraud? Prison sentences. That's the logic Repukes stick to in the "War on Drugs" so why can't they employ it against "white collar" crime? Oh, right, it's b/c the people making the rules are the same ones breaking the rules.

8. More organized crime

Tactics right out of the mafia playbook ("The Art of the Deal&quot .

9. It Isn't A Crime Unless You Are Poor

If Kushner was a regular citizen, he would be indicted.

Being rich has it's advantages.

We control the House!!!!
