“Kushner admitted that he paid a private investigator $25,000 to arrange for the seduction and videotaping of the cooperating witness’ husband. Kushner admitted to personally recruiting the prostitute and instructing that the videotape be mailed to the cooperating witness,” the Department of Justice wrote in 2005. This is the man Booker bent over backward to make the new ambassador to one of our most important European allies.

Chris Christie, New Jersey’s former Republican governor, who investigated Charles Kushner as district attorney, described his case as “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes” he’d encountered.

“I don’t sit here before you today and tell you I’m a perfect person.… I am not a perfect person.… I made a very, very, very serious mistake, and I paid a very heavy price for that mistake,” Kushner said at his confirmation hearing earlier this month. “I think that my past mistakes actually make me better with my judgment, better in my view of life, better in my values to really make me more qualified to do this job.”

Real answer?

Because Kushner Senior is a major real estate player in NJ. I am dead certain Kushner buildings went up during Booker's tenure as Newark mayor.

It should be complete obstructionism to everything these maniacs want to do. EVERYTHING. Give them zero votes o anything. Booker does this big filibuster and then votes for the morons appointees. This is our defense against rising fascism? The country’s already lost if this is what we’re working with.
