Although four years old, everyone should read KUSHNER, INC., by Vicky Ward (https://a.co/d/9h75sOT). It REALLY needs an update, but in the meantime, Greg's writing on Kushner is the best we're liable to see. People "behind the throne" usually don't warrant the coverage that the king does, but in this case, since the king has no clothes to speak of, the background characters are the ones to watch. One of the definitions of "affinity" is, "relationship, especially by marriage as opposed to blood ties," and that seems pretty apt to what's going on. The only problem is that Ivanka is not the marriage relationship here, but MbS. Kushner will likely come to regret that decision as much as he regretted buying 666. He can't seem to stay away from deals with the Devil.
