🧵 "Why would a U.S. private equity firm (Affinity Partners) owned by a U.S. citizen (Jared Kushner) need to waive governance rights to avoid review by the Committee on FOREIGN INVESTMENT in the U.S.?

Because Paramount knows that Kushner's company is simply a vehicle for foreign influence."
1. Paramount's hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery exposes Jared Kushner's game

Kushner is not running a private equity fund. He's running an influence peddling operation.

It's spelled out on page 42 of Paramount's new SEC filing

Alina Habba was first ruled to be playacting as US Attorney on August 21 (though she had already been playacting at that point since July 1).
