BOOM: Guardian Breaking- Kushner company got $ 850,000 from Putin crony [View all]

The fallout from the Paradise Papers reveal is likely to be much bigger than people expected and due to the great work by The Guardian we are likely to get the information at the same time Mueller does.

First report was about Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

Now comes documentation about Kushner.

Its complicated but the Guardian is stating that Kushner's company Cadre received $ 850,000 from Putin associate Yuri Milner who has direct ties to Russian state institutions. Making it even more complicated is that Milner has hundreds of millions invested in Facebook and Twitter

Look at the diagram in the Guardian to see how involved this is.
