  They also paid off Jared kushner.
  
  For services rendered. 
  He gave Saudi prince Mohammed bin Salman cover for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, and then helped to cover up the crime with the help of Trump. Jared also leaked the names of the opposition in the Royal Family against Prince Bone Saw from a classified Presidential Daily Briefing, and MBS promptly rounded his opponents up and placed them in house arrest.  
  In return, MBS pressured Qatar into giving him an unheard of $1 billion pre-paid 99 year lease on his disastrous 666 5th ave building. Jared then got the $2 billion payout to his "Venture Capital" fund even though Jared has never been a venture capitalist and knows nothing about running a fund.
context: The Saudis weren't handing over billions because they liked trump's personality. What did donald, Jared, and Mnuchin, hand over to the Saudis for $3,000,000,000 +???
  The former president, his thin man consigliere, and the former Treasury Secretary, received over $3 billion for what exactly? Any other government employee doing this would be under a fucking microscope, if not arrested, and rightfully so.
  And guess what? When someone pays you to do favors that makes you their agent. These individuals should never have access to national security clearance again, and this is why they never should have had it to begin with. >

  Trump opened the advanced weapons floodgate for Saudi Arabia and he helped MBS with his war against Yemen. Trump and Jared also gave Saudi prince Mohammed bin Salman the green light to kill Jamal Khashoggi  and helped cover up the crime. Remember when Trump said Khashoggi had just gone into hiding, and then changed his story to say some terrorists killed Khashoggi, and then he said nobody knows what happened to Khashoggi?  That was a cover up of the murder.

  And Biden also confirmed immunity, so I wonder what exactly SA has on the USA that we capitulate so much to them >

  Come on now let’s not be naive. They have fuck tons of money and an insatiable thirst for endless bombing campaigns. Anyone with those attributes is welcome here.
  The MIC also gets to double dip on these kinds of allies: ‘oh no, look things are so dangerous over there in the Middle East, such a shame, better increase that defense funding.’ Rinse, repeat. >
  
  They sell oil in USD ONLY. >
  
  Most countries in the middle east peg their currency to the US dollar.. I’ve always believed this is one major factor in other countries allowing the US military to set up forever bases. >
  
  This is why we are able to run massive deficits without much inflation.  The massive demand for U.S. dollars those countries generate through USD denominated oil sales means there is always someone looking to purchase our latest printing press run. >
  
  Republicans:  "We will get to the bottom of this if we have to examine every single subdirectory on Hunter Biden's C:/ drive. >
  
  Maybe they should contact James Woods, since he likes tweeting pictures of Hunter’s C drive. >
  
  the gold tournament was a mechanism to transfer vast amounts of money. >
  
  What did I miss?
  Wasn't the $2B Kushner got enough? >
  
  Let's hope the DOJ is investigating >
  
  The DOJ is compromised. It will never move against one of owner class unless that individual is threatening the rest of the owner class. >
  
  Uhhh, do you know who Biden put in charge of the DoJ? >
  
  Merrick Garland, the snubbed Obama supreme court nominee who was initially on McConnell's list of pre-approved nominees. Garland has the McConnell seal of approval. He will do nothing. >
  
  The guy who mcconnel opposed from even being brought up to vote?
  Yeah, no bud >
  
  I think you've confused McConnell's refusal of anything less than total domination as defeat. McConnell had already won by the time Obama nominated Garland. Everything else was just icing on the cake. We'll know in the next two years if Garland proves me wrong. I hope he does. >
  
  Donald Trump has vast business interests with Saudi Arabia:
  
  Trump’s business relationships with the Saudi government — and rich Saudi business executives — go back to at least the 1990s. In Trump’s hard times, a Saudi prince bought a superyacht and hotel from him. The Saudi government paid him $4.5 million for an apartment near the United Nations.
  Business from Saudi-connected customers continued to be important after Trump won the presidency. Saudi lobbyists spent $270,000 last year to reserve rooms at Trump’s hotel in Washington. Just this year, Trump’s hotels in New York and Chicago reported significant upticks in bookings from Saudi visitors.
  ...
  ...
  “Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million,” Trump told a crowd at an Alabama campaign rally in 2015. “Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.” >
  
  Not just any Saudi.  I believe the purchaser of said yacht was Khashoggi's uncle Adnan.  Trump probably felt like he got screwed in the deal and held a grudge. >
  
  Knowing Trump it's possible, but it's not like Jamal and the Iran-Contra arms dealer Adnan were particularly close near the end. 
  Jamal had turned from supporting democracy through reform (which wasn't realistic so was tolerated) to explicitly pro-democratic (i.e., revolutionary). On the other hand, this is what caused the monarchy that Adnan supported to kill Jamal. Meanwhile Jamal was known for criticizing Adnan's lifestyle.
  I believe Trump simply hates anti-authoritarians and was happy to do a dictator a favor in an attempt to gain acceptance by his heroes. Oh, and money. >
  
  I'm not shocked... They also paid off Jared kushner.
