According to Cockburns source about the seven whistleblowers, theres more. It is that Kushner (allegedly) gave the green light to MBS to arrest the dissident journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, who was later murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. A second source tells Cockburn that this is true and adds a crucial twist to the story. This source claims that Turkish intelligence obtained an intercept of the call between Kushner and MBS. And President Erdogan used it to get Trump to roll over and pull American troops out of northern Syria before the Turks invaded. Cockburn hears that investigators for the House Intelligence Committee know this whole tale and the identities of some of the people telling it. Whether any of is true is another matter but Adam Schiff certainly seems to be smiling a lot these days.

If this is accurate this is dynamite. This is huge, the White House explicitly complicit in the murder of an American resident @ the hands of a foreign government. And then being effectively blackmailed about it leading to the massacre of Kurds and further destabilising of an entire region.
Fucking Hell
And Trump throwing Jared under the bus in 3..2..1...

Trump sold us all out. When does Putin get sworn in as president?

resulted in trump deserted the Kurdsmaybe. I say maybe because if Turkish intel found out about Kushner giving the greenlight to the Saudis to butcher the journalist, why did Erdowan just use this info as leverage against trump and the Kurds?
The assassination happened over a year ago. Why did Erdogan wait until last month?

so we need to wait until actual investigative journalists verify this.

I doubt Adam Schiff would be smiling if he had that news. I think he'd be outraged.
