12. Kushner was a big Democratic donor before 2015.

I don't mind if Booker took the money, Kushner is one of the wealthiest Democratic developers in NJ. What concerns me is if Booker will go easy on him and it seems that he might. But, Booker is just saying we need to be cautious which is fine but if he starts running interference for the Kushners then it is time for him to be primaried. We aren't there yet.

ETA I have been a life long NJ resident and democrat so I have some standing in this fight while most that are against Booker do not.

It is suspicious that Booker is really soft-pedaling the bad Jared Kushner news right now. GBizzle May 2017 #3

Really? Wounded Bear May 2017 #5

By itself, it's not much. But Booker is trying very hard not to be critical of Kushner right now. GBizzle May 2017 #9

Nope- all the Dems are saying review is needed now. You're spinning this w a RW frame. bettyellen May 2017 #34

Booker said the same thing Schiff did: they both want to get to the bottom of this. pnwmom May 2017 #41

This doesn't sound like he's trying very hard: ehrnst May 2017 #49

He said he wanted to "get to the bottom of it" - that means review, this is bullshit. bettyellen May 2017 #32

What is suspicious is supposed Democrats casting aspersions on Booker pnwmom May 2017 #40

Agree. Hortensis May 2017 #43

Some are working their asses off to push this narrative. NCTraveler May 2017 #2

I agree, Booker taking Kushner's money and refusing to criticize him IS transparent. GBizzle May 2017 #4

You're looking a bit "transparent"... Wounded Bear May 2017 #6

Transparent in the sense that I don't want donor money influencing political decisions. GBizzle May 2017 #16

Looks like an attack on the veracity of a Dem Senator... Wounded Bear May 2017 #18

An "attack"? No. But as Booker said, "We need to get to the bottom of what was going on." GBizzle May 2017 #22

And posts like yours are why low post count members are greeted with scepticism here... Wounded Bear May 2017 #28
