Trump/Pompeo/Mattis - complicit in ANOTHER COVERUP!

[Spurs Homer]

How can a US president blatantly order his minions (Pompeo/Mattis) - to go out and downplay a dismembering by the Saudis and contradict CIA intelligence and help the murderers to COVERUP this murder?

How can Republicans and Trump supporters defend this? How can the GOP not begin hearings on what $$$ financial dealings the Saudis and Trump have been involved in?

Why do these hearings/investigations - have to wait until the Dems take over?

WTF has happened to the party of law and order? The "tough on crime" "party of morals"?

Disgusting. Disgraceful.

Lindsey Graham openly admits that he will let Trump officials get away with blatant corruption

because they're not Democrats

He's saying the quiet part out loud.

"Open source reports :lol ??

show that he had been focusing on Mr. Khashoggi for a very long time," Graham told reporters.

"It is zero chance — zero! — that this happened in such an organized fashion without the crown prince.

As to [Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo and [Defense Secretary James] Mattis, I have great respect for them.

I would imagine if they were in a Democratic administration,

I would be all over them for being in the pocket of Saudi Arabia.

But since I have such respect for them, I'm going to assume that they're being good soldiers.

And when they look at the analysis, they're being technical in their statement —

but they're not giving the assessment that I think the Senate will have."

really? I mean, I'm aware the CIA has abducted people in the middle of any city worldwide and took them to some secret prison to torture them, so as a country I don't think we can claim any moral high ground, but personally, all of that stuff, including murdering a journalist on an embassy (which ironically is a place for diplomacy), is fucking abhorrent, no matter who does it.

Fortunately CA the state will still have it's refund (even better to me, it's not a tax credit but a refund.)

In August of 2016 Fallon Smart was crossing Hawthorne Blvd when she was hit by a speeding truck driven by Abdulrahman Sameer Noorah(I won’t put his picture up, I cannot do that).

Noorah was driving with a suspended license at the time. He also had 17 parking violations on his record. Noorah had been a student in Portland living off of $1,850 a month provided by the Saudi Government.

After Noorah was arrested the Saudi Government stepped in to provide attorneys and $100,00 in bail money.

Two weeks before his trial in June of 2017 Noorah disappeared.

It only took the

Saudi Government 13 months after he vanished to contact US Authorities the

Noorah was somehow back home.

A faked passport and a private plane just might have been provided by the Saudis,

Is Jared Kushner responsible for the dismemberment and death of reporter Jamal Khashoggi? (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/3/5/1839680/-Is-Jared-Kushner-responsible-for-the-dismemberment-and-death-of-reporter-Jamal-Khashoggi)

That Kushner lied repeatedly on his security forms is a crime. But there are bigger crimes connected to this decision.



Did Jared Kushner, either in person on one of his visits to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, or through one of his regular phone calls, or by other means, provide to the Saudi leader the names of any of those dissidents or opposition leaders removed from power, imprisoned, or executed during Mohammed bin Salman’s assumption of power and “purge” of the Saudi government in 2017?
Was the name of murdered Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi one of those that Kushner passed to his “friend” the prince?


What isn’t clear is exactly what degree of responsibility Donald Trump’s son-in-law and top White House adviser Jared Kushner bears in the torture and death.

But there are good reasons to think the answer is a long way from “none.”

Daliy Mail, anonymous sauces, big handful of salt.

Didn't Kushner lose his top secret clearance for a spell over something or other?


US President Donald Trump’s senior advisor and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, apparently gave permission for Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman to arrest journalist Jamal Khashoggi before he was killed and dismembered, a report by Britain’s Daily Mail has claimed.


Furthermore, the anonymous whistle-blower who reported this also alleged that Turkish intelligence intercepted the relevant telephone call between Kushner and Bin Salman. This prompted President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to use the information as leverage to force Trump to withdraw US troops from northern Syria this year.https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20191104-kushner-allowed-saudis-to-arrest-khashoggi/

immunity weighed for Mister Bone Saw


The US is considering granting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman legal immunity in a lawsuit which accuses the royal of attempting to assassinate a high-level intelligence officer, the Washington Post reported (https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/legal-immunity-request-mbs/2020/12/21/c2b87900-4150-11eb-8bc0-ae155bee4aff_story.html#click=https://t.co/ywjINoCq4y) on Monday.

According to the Post, the Saudi government has requested that bin Salman, also known as MBS, be shielded by the US government from liability in a case filed (https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/saudi-hit-squad-mbs-kill-saad-aljabri-us-canada-lawsuit) earlier this year by Saad al-Jabri, a former interior ministry official and adviser to former Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef.

Jabri, who is characterised in the legal filing as a "trusted partner of US intelligence officials", claims that MBS dispatched a 50-person kill team dubbed "the Tiger Squad (https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/revealed-saudi-death-squad-mbs-uses-silence-dissent)" in October 2018 - just two weeks after the murder of Saudi dissident and Middle East Eye columnist Jamal Khashoggi (https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/khashoggi).

According to the Post, the State Department sent a list of questions to Jabri's lawyers that requested their legal opinion over whether the US should grant Saudi Arabia's request for immunity.

The newspaper reported that a State Department recommendation could also lead to the dismissal of the prince as a defendant in other cases recently filed in the US, including a lawsuit (https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/khashoggi-fiancee-sues-saudi-crown-prince-mbs) which seeks discovery over Khashoggi's murder.
