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.”

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.

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.”

Either Kushner or Ivanka interrupted every meeting lawyers had with Trump, as if they didn't understand the difference between PR issues & a federal criminal investigation and that you can't get between the president & his lawyers without becoming witnesses and ruining privilege.
Mark Corallo: Ivanka and Kushner failed to grasp the seriousness of the Russia investigation as lawyers dealt with fallout from the Jun 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Ivanka would ‘mysteriously’ happen by for every meeting.

She knew EXACTLY what she was doing.

Rick Gates is the gift that keeps on giving!
Rick Gates, who continues to cooperate, also attended the Aug 2, 2016 meeting when Manafort gave Russian spy Kilimnik internal Trump-campaign polling data – a meeting that goes “very much to the heart of what the special counsel is investigating.”

Just a reminder as Rick Gates continues to cooperate👇#Karma

Jared Kushner's family business is planning a $550M Miami project in an "Opportunity Zone"– a Trump tax plan program [promoted by Ivanka, per @CREWcrew] that gives tax breaks & deferments to developers who invest in projects in designated low-income areas.

Companies [like Kushner Cos] are snapping up Opportunity Zone properties with no set plan about what they'll build and despite unanswered questions around the rules of Trump's new federal program because of the tax breaks and deferments for developers.
therealdeal.com/miami/2019/02/…
Kushner Cos plans to finance the $550M, three-phase project through *an existing banking relationship* – such as a bank linked to a foreign govt which can sway US foreign policy by funneling millions to grifting Jared's broke down family business?

“There is a lot of interest in fleeing #Saudi women at the moment but the situation for #Emirati and other women in the #Gulf is often just as bad.” As I often asked about Rahaf’s story: what are these countries doing to women that makes them seek asylum? theguardian.com/world/2019/feb…
“women remain second class citizens in the #UAE, where the concept of “male guardianship,” incorporated in UAE law,” @hrw hrw.org/news/2015/03/0…
#UAE abuses are too often overlooked because of the flashy facade and glitz of #Dubai and because it is not as big as or as influential as regional behemoth #Saudi Arabia. Look closer and pay attention.

A few thoughts on the situation of Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun @rahaf84427714 - an 18-year-old Saudi woman stopped in Thailand attempting to flee to Australia from Kuwait:

1. Rahaf remains at risk of deportation and is in her Bangkok airport hotel room hrw.org/news/2019/01/0…
2. Rahaf says she has been verbally and physically abused by male family members, including threats to her life. @hrw has extensively documented discrimination against women in Saudi Arabia and authorities poor record of preventing family abuse hrw.org/report/2016/07…
3. It appears that Rahaf's father was appointed governor of al-Sulaimi, a small governorate in Ha'il province in 2012 hail2h.net/inf/news.php?a…

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia

THREAD: In summer 2016, George Nader (representing Saudi Arabia & UAE) and an Israeli specialist in "social media manipulation" offered to help **THROW THE ELECTION** in a meeting w/Trump Jr arranged by Erik Prince‼️ 1/

nytimes.com/2018/05/19/us/…
At the Aug'16 #treason meet, Nader told Jr the crown princes of #SaudiArabia & #UAE were "eager to help his father win." The Israeli social media expert's (Joel Zamel) firm had already drawn up a multimillion $ proposal for a social media manipulation effort to help Trump.🤨 2/
Zamel's social media company #Wikistrat, which employed several Israeli former intelligence officers, specialized in "collecting information & shaping opinion through social media."🤨

Gee, that sounds familiar‼️🤬 3/

THREAD: Mueller is probing #Wikistrat (a consulting firm founded by Joel Zamel & Daniel Green in Israel) for their work for the #UAE, as Mueller continues to investigate FOREIGN influence in DC.🤨

UAE means George NADER is involved.🤔 1/

wsj.com/articles/muell…
Wikistrats' Zamel "informally met" w/Team🇺🇸Mueller👉🏼asked about his business relationship w/Nader, who's a top adviser to UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed & also was close w/Team🇷🇺Trump.

Zamel’s relationship w/Nader is “arms’ length.”🙄2/

Team🇺🇸Mueller also asked Zamel about his work, including for "certain clients," but the ultimate target of this line of inquiry is "unknown."🤔

If it involves the UAE, then you can bet that Secretary of Everything, Jared KUSHNER, likely is part of this inquiry.😉 3/
