a possible job with him, and then when that is all done, apollo gives kushner companies enormous loan. that is one example we wrote about. the other example we wrote about is jared kushner had a meeting last spring with mike core bath, the head of citi group and shortly after that they gave a $325 million loan to kushner companies. both of these things are as far as we know fairly unpress press dentsed. a high ranking official having meetings in the white house with leaders of companies that very shortly thereafter give his company which he is still invested in sizable loans. and jared kushner stepped down for the kushner companies when he went to the white house but didn t divest his stake. he divested some portions including the stake in the 666 fifth avenue but still heavilyin investigated in the compa
likely if they don t get disqualified for what the australian government thinks is a justifiable reason. take me for example. when i was a member of parliament and i represented the labor party i was a paton of my local sporting shooting association. the guys would go out and shoot at targets and they are honest law-abiding folks and belong to the club and get the guns and they can t understand either why you need a semi automatic weapon. it is not about sporting or an olympic sport. that is about something quite different. again, so i think the nra is a great lie in this country of the united states, is to try to confuse this debate about confiscating everyone s weapons on one hand with withdrawing this exceptionally lethal category of weapons, semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons which could blast away and kill a hundred people in 60 seconds. that is the whole point. to take that weapon of mass
