Like you, I probably have an aversion to reading long posts on social media. However, lately I have been reading Christopher Armitage's (The Existentialist Republic) Substack posts. Why? Because he and his followers are actually doing something to hold members of the administration accountable for what they have done, Case in point: Jared Kushner Is Acting as an Unregistered Foreign Agent Who Bills Saudi Arabia Through a Private Equity Fund. New York Can Prosecute Him for the SEC Filings That Hide It. He filed the complaint with Letitia James's office, New York's Attorney General. What if I told you that one email, one phone call, and one social media post could help put Jared Kushner in handcuffs? Kushner is collecting tens of millions of dollars a year in fees from foreign governments while conducting shadow diplomacy with sanctioned Russian officials. The fees came to $157 million between 2021 and 2024, and an estimated $60 million more in 2025. In October 2025 he sat with Kirill Dmitriev in Miami drafting terms for Ukraine’s surrender to Russia. In December 2025, he flew to Moscow for five hours with Vladimir Putin. Kushner's company is Affinity Partners. He holds no official government position. Congressional investigators have called Kushner an unregistered foreign agent, but Republicans currently control the committees with subpoena power, and the Blanche DOJ is not expected to investigate any member of the Trump family. The federal path is largely closed off. States have jurisdiction, too. They can act. In fact, the Martin Act gives New York State’s Attorney General power to investigate any securities fraud “within or from New York. Interests in private equity funds are securities. What this all means is that if Affinity Partners conducted any fundraising, investor communications, banking transactions, or meetings within New York, the AG has jurisdiction. This is fully prosecutable in New York State. The mechanism exists. The jurisdiction is there. The Senate has documented the facts. What’s missing is the political will to use it. That’s where we come in. We send the letters. We file the complaints. We follow @TishJames and @NewYorkStateAG on every platform and make it clear that the public is watching and expects action. She joined Substack in July, her posts at newyorkstateag.substack.com take comments. That was a short summary of the whole article. IF you really want to do something about it, here is the complete article with what to do at the bottom. I hope you do. I did. https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/jared-kushner-is-acting-as-an-unregistered
