Then-Sec of State Tillerson blamed Jared Kushner for Trump’s abrupt endorsement of a provocative blockade against Qatar by Saudi Arabia and UAE in Jun 2017 and told Kushner that “his interference had endangered the US.”
via @jonswaine @VickyPJWard #Maddow bit.ly/2Jprkb9
Tillerson also read negative “chatter” about himself in intelligence reports after Jared Kushner belittled Tillerson to his pal, Prince MBS. Recall, MBS & MBZ feuded over who had more control of Kushner, both claiming credit for Tillerson's firing.
#Maddow
March 2018: “MBS is claiming that firing Tillerson was one of his requests to Trump via Jared Kushner to be implemented before his visit to the US and it appears that he got what he wanted.”

FBI probing the NRA for using *illegal* #Russian🇷🇺money to help Trump win‼️

The NRA reported it spent a *record $55 million* on 2016 elections, including $30 million for Trump – TRIPLE what it spent for Mitt Romney in 2012.🤨 1/

amp.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-wo…
Even WORSE:

👉🏼Most of the $55 million was spent by an arm of the NRA that is *not required to disclose its donors*
👉🏼Two people w/close connections to the NRA said its total election spending actually was *$70 million*

2/
The gap btwn the $55 million (reported) and $70 million (actual) may be b/c independent groups are *not required to report how much they spend on Internet ads or field operations*, including get-out-the-vote efforts‼️🤬 3/
