The source of Joaquin Castro's claim that Kushner gave MBS an enemies list


Castro is taking a ton of heat in the press for calling for an investigation of that incident. We likely have all heard about it. I found the source of the info....it's in an Intercept article. To wit:

What exactly Kushner and the Saudi royal talked about in Riyadh may be known only to them, but after the meeting, Crown Prince Mohammed told confidants that Kushner had discussed the names of Saudis disloyal to the crown prince, according to three sources who have been in contact with members of the Saudi and Emirati royal families since the crackdown. Kushner, through his attorney’s spokesperson, denies having done so.

was getting out from under the 1.2B debt he owed on 666 5th. He gave up intel to MBS and now he's off the hook on the debt.

Not hard to connect those dots.

The Russian assassination squad is enough of a nightmare to deal with. No CCTV ever catches their activities, no bugs and the body always ends up on a public street. The only evidence that they're even involved is the increased number of suicides from jumping.

...may have been a strategic way for MBS to control the Trumps. Perhaps a message such as "We'll implicate you in this heinous crime unless you continue to cooperate with MBS"

If Democrats win in a midterm landslide, the Republicans in Congress will wake up and be shocked, SHOCKED that someone as soulless, immoral and corrupt as Trump is in office. It will be as if they woke up from a dream. Then, they will work to distance themselves.

But it will be too late for them, because we have their number.

I will be working driving people to the polls that day, I took the day off to do that. I know we have no chance in Oklahoma, but I can hope we do not get the Okie version of Trump in Stitt for governor. I have to keep hoping I guess.
