(14,167 posts)* Kushner needed financing to save his ludicrous real estate deals from bankruptcy.
* Kushner took top secret info to the Saudis to exchange for his desperate need for financing of expiring balloon payments coming due on NY commercial real estate.
* MBS was astounded that Kushner would share this top secret info. But became aware how desperate Kushner was with bad real estate investments not only in NY, but Chicago, and other top American cities.
* Kushner compiled an extensive list of all sorts of top secret info to let MBS know who the enemies were speaking badly of the House of Saud.
* MBS then realized how desperate Kushner was in need of financing - to sell out American Intel info to get his needed real estate financing.
MBS publicly broadcast that he had Jared Kushner in his pocket because all this top secret info was on the table as a bargaining chip for Kushner's needed new financing loans to keep his real estate holdings afloat and operational.
* MBS now felt he had not only Kushner by the testicles, MBS also had trDump by the testicles too because he could blackmail them with the release of the top secret info having been improperly divulged.
* MBS now had the permission to go after his enemies ruthlessly with little to no repercussions or lash back by the USA because he had them by the balls. If MBS squeezed tighter the USA had to shut up about human rights issues now. Jared negotiated away our rights (America's) to be a world beacon for human rights.
~ Note MBS rounded up competing crown princes locked them up at the Ritz Carlton, interrogated them, tortured them, stole billions from them, and killed some of them.
~ MBS engineered the gruesome capture and killing of Khashoggi to warn in a very public way Saudi Crown dissidents are not to cross the royal family or the new Prince MBS or there would be swift action and hell to pay.
MBS became over confident, brazen, and emboldened - knowing America had little recourse but to down play and bury this act of barbarism.
MBS overplayed his hand, things spiraled out of control, and it became a explosive international event that could not be swept away with USA platitudes.
With all this unexpected public exposure the involved parties have no recourse but to run around frantically to cover their asses.
These folks are not accustomed to having to toe the line and answer for their faux pas, idiosyncrasies, blunders, and/or atrocities. They are accustomed to walking away unscathed and scot free. May they all be scorched and burnt by the glare of the spotlights they caused shone upon themselves in the name of gluttony and greed.

And they got away with all of this for years.
