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 attorneys spokesperson, denies having done so.

Not hard to connect those dots.

(46,757 posts)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.

Me.
