Oh shut up, Ivanka:

Ivanka Trump @IvankaTrump

The announcement by Saudi Arabia of reforms that will dismantle the guardianship system and allow women to obtain passports, travel and work without securing the permission of a male relative, represents major progress for the Kingdom!
More of this!

My question is how did a brilliant Attorney like Chelsea think of her as a close friend?

They went to school together and had famous fathers. Remember, the trumps identified as Democrats then, too.

guaranteed Khasshoggi's safety prior to his trip. I'm still shocked that they were allowed to get away with assisting in a US reporter's murder.

In reaching its conclusions, the CIA examined multiple sources of intelligence, including a phone call that the prince’s brother Khalid bin Salman, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, had with Khashoggi, according to the people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the intelligence. Khalid told Khashoggi, a contributing columnist to The Washington Post, that he should go to the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul to retrieve the documents and gave him assurances that it would be safe to do so.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/cia-concludes-saudi-crown-prince-ordered-jamal-khashoggis-assassination/2018/11/16/98c89fe6-e9b2-11e8-a939-9469f1166f9d_story.html

Late last year, the Washington Post reported that Prince Khalid assured Khashoggi he could go to the consulate in Istanbul to retrieve personal documents.

The report prompted calls for the US to expel the prince from the country.

In February, KBS was appointed deputy defence minister, a promotion that was seen as a way to move him out of Washington, where he had become increasingly unwelcome by US lawmakers.

But top Trump administration officials, including the president himself, have stood by the Saudi leadership, including KBS, in the aftermath of the Khashoggi murder.

A life time of criminal behavior and perpetual lying leaves Trump in thrall to many. Russia, Saudi Arabia, those are obvious but there are no doubt more. The Con’s brain, such as it is, must swirl in fear of being outed. Mix in his intrinsic narcissism and he is such an easy target for manipulation.
