NEW: Jared Kushner, who's involved in Trump's legally questionable plan to transfer sensitive US nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia, met today with Saudi Crown Prince MBS, who ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, to push his "Mideast Peace Plan."
#Maddow nyti.ms/2GOevVy
Feb 19, 2019: Lawmakers warn that “Trump admin’s [potentially illegal] efforts to transfer sensitive US nuclear technology to the Saudis appear to be ongoing...Jared Kushner may try to advance the nuclear plan during his visit to Saudi Arabia.”
#Maddow
Aug 2018: As one arm of Brookfield bails out Kushner's 666 Bldg for $700M, another arm of Brookfield wins Trump admin's approval on its acquisition of nuclear-power company Westinghouse, which would benefit from Trump admin's Saudi/nuclear plan.
#Maddow
This was Jared Kushner’s first face-to-face encounter with Prince MBS since Saudi agents killed Khashoggi. The Trump admin stood by MBS, who has a close relationship with Jared, even after US intelligence agencies concluded MBS ordered the killing.

NEW: Trump ordered John Kelly to give Jared Kushner a security clearance last year. Troubled by decision, Kelly wrote a contemporaneous memo about how he'd been “ordered” to give Kushner top-secret clearance.
by @nytmike @adamgoldmanNYT @anniekarni #Maddow nyti.ms/2EBLOZu
Then-White House counsel Don McGahn also wrote an internal memo outlining concerns about Jared Kushner raised by intelligence officials, including the CIA [which Trump overruled], and how he'd recommended Kushner not be given top-secret clearance.
#Maddow
Jared Kushner's FBI background check raised concerns his family business, foreign contacts, foreign travel, and potential foreign influence on him. But Trump overruled 2 career security specialists and ordered Kushner be given a security clearance.

Since Rahaf’s escape, the #Saudi regime and its media have been conflating women escaping male guardianship with men who join violent extremist groups like ISIS & al-qaeda. Feminism is a form of terrorism, says this ad by the Saudi counter-extremism agency
Feminism as Terrorism

FEMINIST GIANT rant on the #Saudi regime and its media’s propaganda against feminism

As part of its reaction to Rahaf’s escape, the #Saudi regime is propagating that feminists are recruiting and luring daughters. Saudi feminists have been threatened. Below I’m accused by a #Saudi regime troll of using tactics similar to ISIS and al-Qaeda to recruite girls.

#Saudi feminist Loujain al-Hathloul, 29, was detained in May in unprecedented crackdown vs feminists. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aide Saud al-Qahtani, personally oversaw her interrogation, which incl waterboarding & threatened to rape & kill her google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.…
Of 18 detained activists, at least eight have been physically abused in custody, according to Saudi advisers, activists &others with knowledge of the prisoners’ treatment. One said security officials electrocuted her hands. “My fingers resembled barbecued meat, swollen and blue”
Glad to see some finally pay attention to misogyny in #Saudi Arabia - I call it gender apartheid. RIP Jamal Khashoggi. It should not be lost on us that it took the murder of a man for some to finally pay attention to women.

#Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman,suspected to have ordered murder of journalist #JamalKashoggi, launched unprecedented crackdown vs women’s rights activists in May. Those activists have been tortured & one has tried suicide 3 times google.com/amp/s/www.wash… h/t @SherifaZuhur
Some of the activists (none of whom have been formally charged or given access to lawyers) have been subjected to psychological or physical abuse while in custody, including electric shocks, sexual harassment, sleep deprivation and beatings. #Saudi
“In one reported instance, one of the activists was made to hang from the ceiling, and according to another testimony, one of the detained women was reportedly subjected to sexual harassment, by interrogators wearing face masks.” amnesty.org/en/latest/news… #Saudi

#Saudi actors who ordered #Khashoggi's death were aware he wanted his divorce paper, but hadn't anticipated his fiancee's call to Aktay which had some swift consequences. Turkish authorities searched one of the planes leaving with part of the murder team, but found nothing. /1
"Turkish intelligence agency MIT decided to review an audio-visual feed fr inside the consulate"... Grisly details ... suggest that Khashoggi was tortured then killed soon after entering the consulate" /2 cnn.com/2018/10/19/mid…
Had Hatice Cengiz not been there to call Aktay, the Turks wouldn't have suspected as soon as they did, that #Khashoggi had been killed. The info. about that clandestine AV feed was leaked over the week as the Saudis were swift to deny & slow to cooperate with the investigation./3

Prince Mohamed has detained 100s of dissidents, business leaders, princes and his own mother in a brutal crackdown. Now he is sending kidnapping squads into foreign countries to extract opponents. #MBS #Khashoggi washingtonpost.com/world/national…
Yet #MBS has attracted big Silicon Valley names to advise him in the building of Neon, a tech future city that is part of a #McKinsey plan to pivot KSA from oil dependency. cnn.com/2018/10/10/tec…
The Crown Prince has a strong ally in the current occupant of the White House. “I love working with Donald Trump,” he told Bloomberg. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
