EXCLUSIVE: Saudi crown prince bragged that Jared Kushner gave him CIA intelligence

EXCLUSIVE: Saudi crown prince bragged that Jared Kushner gave him CIA intelligence about other Saudis saying 'here are your enemies' days before 'corruption crackdown' which led to torture and death
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5575395/amp/Saudi-crown-prince-brags-Jared-Kushner-handed-U-S-intelligence.html?__twitter_impression=true

Sources have told DailyMail.com that the prince – known by his initials MBS – has been boasting about his close relationship with the president's son-in-law and senior adviser, and the intelligence which he has told his circle Kushner passed to him.

...

He also told members of his circle that the intelligence included information on who was disloyal to him. There is no way to independently verify the truth of the boast.

'Jared took a list out of names from US eavesdrops of people who were supposedly MBS's enemies,' said one source, characterizing how MBS spoke about the information.

'He took a list out of these people who had been trashing MBS in phone calls, and said 'these are the ones who are your enemies'.

We all knew that's what he was doing.
Imagine being that poor guy going into his countries embassy and being murdered. The gop is fine w it it seems. I never want to hear a righty determine who is a Patriot again. And I never want to hear a gospel from their mouths. Kushner got paid for that info. and paid off 666 5th Ave. The Satan Sign. Not a peep from Franklin Graham.
Talk about redistribution of wealth. From our Treasury, to his pockets. He needs to swing. He's an enemy of the State. I suppose Mr Mueller will spend another day tomorrow sipping coffee and biding his time. What ta hell eh? Nothing really to charge anybody on.....groan.
When there's nothing left to save, the scales of justice have little meaning....that's a good rule for all of us when the shit storm hits.
“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”
If this isn't the tipping point...what is?

Let's see, they approved it during Bush I's term, then one of Bush's people outed Valerie Plame and got away with it, and now it's Kushner's turn to play the white man privilege card?

I'm actually kind of torn. A firing squad would be too kind for these motherfuckers. I'd rather see them spend the rest of their lives rotting in prison. But, then we'd have to waste precious resources on them, and they aren't worth that.

How can an Orthodox Jew (Kushner claims to be one.) collude with Saudi Wahabis ? They would not hesitate for a nano to wipe Israel off the map of the Middle East.

What is in this for him ?

I haven't heard a peep out of Bibi either.

What gives ?

...officially are opposed to each other, but that's just talk. They work together quite considerably in regards to Iran.

At some point, Israel may recognize their distant cousins, Palestine as a country, once it guaranteed to live in permanent "legal" poverty. The Sunni's don't give a rats ass what happens to the Palestinians, to them they are just "Islamic Jews" or "mixed blood" of Jew's and Arab's. Shit, the reason Palestine doesn't exist today is because of them, they coerced Palestinian leadership to reject the terms and those that resisted, found themselves out of the loop. All the Arab nations didn't want either a nation of Israel or Palestine...but their own personal greed did them in and secured Israel's nationhood. And now with the Samson Initiative, its pretty much guaranteed.

My opinion, the Arab states don't want to see a strong Palestinian State either and intend to make sure it stays that way.

Maybe her resignation had to do with this and that he was the "mastermind" of MBS' government takeover. (Though that would presume she has a conscience.... which I'm not ready to do.)
