Mtf1953, people resort to insults like calling people lapdogs and morons when they have nothing logical to say about the matter or because they do not know how to express themselves in English.  It also is an indication of a very poor upbringing.  As for why the meetings stayed hidden for so long if there was nothing there, you seem not to understand the international business world.  Kushner is young, but he is CEO of one such company.  I dare say he has dozens of meetings daily on a wide range of matters that include company executives, bank executives, business associates, politicians, representatives of foreign companies and, just between us, he even meets on occasion with representatives of foreign governments.   He also attends functions that have foreigners in attendance, get introduced to several and even shake their hands.  It is unrealistic to expect business executives to remember every such encounter or to keep logs of them.   Nothing nefarious about forgetting some.
