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'.

(6,212 posts)The crown Prince is a friend to the US and the people trashing the prince in the phone calls are our enemy so Jared will be let off the hook.

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?

(32,084 posts)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.

(6,831 posts)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 ?

(6,395 posts)...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.

ON EDIT: You'd think the CIA would be pretty pissed about all this and there will be consequences.

(61,608 posts)I thought that the CIA would get revenge when Valerie Plame was outed and they lost who knows how many agents and assets. Crickets. Maybe they're not as powerful as advertised.

(36,806 posts)Jared got most of his security clearance back so he can sell secrets again.
Of course he could always get secrets from Donald.

Never mind. If he didn't have access, Pussy Grabber told him. . . .

(13,496 posts)what did Nikki Haley say about this?
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.)

I think that about sums it up.
