The last thing the GOP wants is to prove Hunter's laptop is actually a cooked up nothing burger.

They did not "give it" to him.

They invested it in a Fund he set up. I believe it was a hedge fund.

As the GM or Principal Partner, he earns a small fee off the top when the fund is set up.

Via Google:

How Two and Twenty Works. The 2% management fee is paid to hedge fund managers regardless of the fund's performance. A hedge fund manager with $1 billion AUM earns $20 million in management fees annually even if the fund performs poorly.

Two and Twenty Definition - Investopedia

... So yes, they likely "gave" him $40mil in day one cash. I know I'm kinda splitting hairs but at least folks here on DU can have the facts.

when during Trump's regime, Jared flew down to Saudia and gave them a briefcase and came back with the 150 million he needed desperately to cover a payment due on one of his financial disaster real estate investments/??????????

That's the bottom line for those assholes, it's all about control. If he can't control a 52 year old man, he can't control the country, or something incredibly stupid like that.

Meanwhile, their own families are generally sinks of despair and substance abuse because of their own attempts at controlling other adults. They never seem to realize how inappropriate and destructive this is.

And I'd love to know what that 2 billion bucks was for, also. I have a lot of guesses, none of them good for the country. It sure as hell wasn't for his neglected real estate empire.

How did her emails get on his hard drive? I'm thinking it probably happened at the pizza parlor.
