If you needed another reason to hate the greed-laden nepotism, on display amidst the Trump Administration’s daily debacle of disarray — here it is:
CORONAVIRUS HASN’T STOPPED JARED KUSHNER’S REAL ESTATE EMPIRE FROM HOUNDING TENANTS WITH DEBT COLLECTION, EVICTION LAWSUITS
by Lee Fang, TheIntercept.com — April 4, 2020
[...] court records show properties owned by Kushner Companies are still filing new eviction lawsuits.
At least 15 tenants in New Jersey and Maryland have been on the receiving end of lawsuits from Kushner-owned properties even after both states declared states of emergency. Gov. Phil Murphy, D-N.J., and Gov. Larry Hogan, R-Md., have both called for a moratorium on evictions and courts have been closed, postponing hearing dates for a range of debt collection-related activities.
The Maryland and New Jersey moratoriums on evictions, however, do not prevent debt collectors from filing new lawsuits.
[...] Ethics disclosures show that he still receives millions of dollars a year in income from rent collected by his assorted real estate portfolio, including the chain of apartment buildings.
The real estate firm’s debt collection practices, which involve hundreds of lawsuits pursuing tenants often for small amounts of debt, have been detailed in reporting in ProPublica and the Baltimore Sun. In the past, Kushner’s attorneys have gone so far as to pursue civil arrest warrants for at least 105 tenants over unpaid fees and rent.
[...]
Only within the GOP’s “gone-fishing” Oversight, are such heartless and lawless acts, treated like they were nobody’s business.
Afterall it is their business model that must never die: Give to the rich, and screw the little guy.
Along with average hard-working, and compassionate Americans.

How in the world are they going to “Stay at Home” — after Jared Kushner, Trump’s gopher, evicts them from it?

There ought to be a Law … There ought to be someone willing to enforce the Laws, protecting ordinary hard-working, down-on-their-luck, Americans.
This is how a Lawless cabal ruins a Nation.
