I get it. We all make friends with people we have something in common with, and sometimes outsiders can't figure out why we might have such and such friend.
At some point, ivanka made friends with Wendi Deng, who was the wife of Rupert Murdoch, the mogul who owns Fox News. That's interesting in a way, but not particularly newsworthy.
But Deng divorced Murdoch in 2013, and is rumored to be dating .... Vladimir Putin. And she has allegedly given ivanka access to Putin, or at least putins office because there's an email that suggests she (ivanka) had a chance to sit in Putins chair. Whether it's actually true or not, it's not something most of us would ever do, have access to, or think about. Under normal circumstances, this might be met with a shrug. But under the circumstances we have today, it should be rightly scrutinized.
But wait, there's more! Deng at some point introduced ivanka to another socialite friend, Dasha Zhukova. She is the wife of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. One person noted that "There's no oligarch among those still accepted in the West who's closer and more trusted by Putin than Abramovich."
Well, isn't that a remarkable coincidence?
There are photos of ivanka with dasha, of Jared and ivanka with the abramoviches at sporting events, and they have reportedly dined together. Again, nothing that unusual....except that in context it seems odd.
Now they did disclose their relationship with abramovich on their federal forms, so in many ways there is "nothing to see here" .... except the company they are keeping appears to be closely tied to putin. And given the Russian influence, some of the timing, and the ongoing investigations, you kind of have to figure that there is more to this story.
These relationships can't be happenstance and unconnected to events we're hearing about. And el donaldo's recent (reported) rift with Jared, where he's saying that dear son-in-law led him to do things would lend credence to that. Even if it's not connected, he's throwing shade to make it look like it's a possibility.
