"Whether So Korea partners w/U.S. firms or not, the Korea Electric Power Corp [KEPCO] uses U.S.-origin content and therefore CANNOT sell reactors to Saudi Arabia until Riyadh signs a 123 agreement w/the U.S.,” said Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA)."
"At a mtg w/So Korean president Moon Jae-in at the WH last Thursday, Trump spoke w/Moon about a 3rd meeting citing, in part, his personal relationship w/Kim....“I enjoy the summits,” Trump told his South Korean counterpart. “I enjoy being w/the chairman.”

Trump will do a huge favor the president of South Korea - try to lift NK sanctions - to get him to do a favor - Saudi nuclear deals - for Trump.

Even if it's illegal, he is pushing it.

"A former Pentagon ofcl suspects during the Lajes negotiations, Nunes was making the Portuguese privy to things they shouldn't have known. “We would have a convo about some proprietary matters w/Nunes...and then...somehow, Portugal knew some of that.”

2015: the Azorean pres, Vasco Cordeiro, hosted a dinner in honor of Nunes...A number of senior Portuguese government officials, including the foreign minister, were also in attendance... “It was like a fraternity event where everyone was pledging their loyalty to that mission,”
"Nunes liked to call the Azores “the Hawaii of the Atlantic Ocean, only closer to America’s homeland.” But Hawaii...has the advantage of being PART OF AMERICA...."

"Global Witness’ new investigation reveals...the daughter of Congo’s President appears to have helped herself to almost $20M in public funds and laundered part of the cash through U.S. property – specifically, a luxurious #TrumpTower apartment in Manhattan worth more than $7M."
"What follows is the story of apt 32G in Trump Int'l, and how Claudia Sassou-Nguesso, daughter of Congo’s President, used apparently stolen public funds to purchase it in the summer of 2014...."
"The tale involves a notorious Portuguese middleman [Jose Veiga], a world-renowned American law firm, a complex network of secretive companies...and a now-defunct bank, and raises serious questions about the role Trump Org played in a suspected money laundering scheme."

@EricHolder has asked an important question:

#When was #America #ever #great?

I realize that there is a nearly unavoidable tendency to snort and spew one's coffee when they hear or read his question for the first time. But, honestly, isn't it worth the exercise to answer it?
So, @EricHolder, I'm going to do just that, and I'm going to ask my ragtag bag of followers and detractors to contribute as well.

I'm going to offer my evidence of moments of American greatness. And I'm going to ask those that read this thread to do the same.
But wait!

There's more!

I'm going to ask my detractors and antagonists (are you seeing this @fedupaton) to contribute as well, and will welcome from them both moments of greatness and moments of shame.

The top Democrat on Senate Intelligence Committee says Trump campaign's contact with Russians during 2016 was historically unprecedented.

"... there's no one who can factually say there isn't plenty of evidence of collaboration or comms between the Trump Org & RUs,”.

“I have never seen a presidential campaign, from a person of either party, have this much outreach to a foreign country.” Warner said.

Until I create a chronological thread of my opeds on #Saudi Arabia, here’s a collection of them starting from 2002. In many I use gender apartheid to describe the way women are treated. #EndMaleGuardianship
I’ve been writing about repression of women in #Saudi Arabia for 16yrs. I lived there during my teens & was traumatized into feminism there, I wrote a column for a Saudi-owned paper for 2yrs & was then banned, I devoted a chapter in my 1st book to it. We have a long relationship.
The unprecedented crackdown on women’s rights activists must be seen for what it is: an attempt to erase cross-generational feminist activism in #Saudi Arabia. The detained feminists and women’s rights activist are leaders of a social revolution that terrifies the #Saudi monarchy When this decade began, there was no political revolution in Saudi Arabia like those in Tunisia, Egypt and other countries of the “Arab Spring.” But a social revolution has begun now in Saudi Arabia.<br /> <br /> Its vanguard is not a crown prince who claims to be an emancipator of women. The true leaders are the feminists he has detained and banned from travel for daring to demand their freedom.

#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 Arabia says #Canada's statement on the arrest of activists in the Kingdom is an unacceptable interference in its internal affairs, expels the Canadian ambassador and freezes all future trade. bbc.in/2vs6crl
"In her first public response to Saudi Arabia's actions, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Monday: 'Let me be very clear ... Canada will always stand up for human rights in Canada and around the world, and women's rights are human rights'." aljazeera.com/news/2018/08/s…
Direct investment was already down in #Saudi Arabia after some of the recent disturbances; this spat with #Canada is unlikely to help. on.wsj.com/2OgITYl
