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

saying 'here are your enemies' days before 'corruption crackdown' which led to torture and death.

Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman bragged of receiving classified US intelligence from Jared Kushner and using it as part of a purge of 'corrupt' princes and businessmen, DailyMail.com can disclose.

The de facto ruler of the Middle East's largest economy is currently on a US tour which has seen him meet President Donald Trump in the White House, hold talks with a string of the country's richest and most influential people and book the entire Four Seasons in Beverly Hills for himself and his entourage.

Remember how Jared had a "sleepover" with MBS and they stayed up all night talking about... well, apparently intelligence material from our own agencies.

I will never understand why these creeps and traitors have gotten away with it.

Just imagine what will happen now that the Republican Senate, DOJ, Supreme Court, Trump, and especially Jared have now gained complete control of ALL AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE………

Their COUP is coming closer and closer…

Yea I have to agree, the coup is nearly complete in turning the U.S.A. into a fascist tyranny.......

The last straw will be them trashing the economy by way of dumping the stock market, willfully wiping out the retirements and investments of everyone below the one percenters.......

No wonder he was able to come up with the money to bail himself out of debt on 666 5th Ave.

Important story, thanks to The Intercept:



SAUDI CROWN PRINCE BOASTED THAT JARED KUSHNER WAS “IN HIS POCKET”

Alex Emmons, Ryan Grim, Clayton Swisher
The Intercept, March 21, 2018

Excerpt...

It is likely that Crown Prince Mohammed would have known who his critics were without Kushner mentioning them, a U.S. government official who declined to be identified pointed out. The crown prince may also have had his own reasons for saying that Kushner shared information with him, even if that wasn’t true. Just the appearance that Kushner did so would send a powerful message to the crown prince’s allies and enemies that his actions were backed by the U.S. government.

One of the people MBS told about the discussion with Kushner was UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, according to a source who talks frequently to confidants of the Saudi and Emirati rulers. MBS bragged to the Emirati crown prince and others that Kushner was “in his pocket,” the source told The Intercept.

Access to the President’s Daily Brief is tightly guarded, but Trump has the legal authority to allow Kushner to disclose information contained in it. If Kushner discussed names with MBS as an approved tactic of U.S. foreign policy, the move would be a striking intervention by the U.S. into an unfolding power struggle at the top levels of an allied nation. If Kushner discussed the names with the Saudi prince without presidential authorization, however, he may have violated federal laws around the sharing of classified intelligence.
