Mohammad Bin Salman killed Khashoggi, imprisoned and tortured Saudi opposition, hacked journalists, hacked Jeff Bezos, the list goes on and on. Kushner decided Bin Salman was a friend despite all of that, and now he will get his blood money payout. It’s all transactional.
Mohammad Bin Salman is a terrorist and should be personally sanctioned. It is cowardice to not do so.
What has Biden done? He deals with the Saudi King with dementia instead of Bin Salman? big whoop. The sanctions for the Khashoggi murder were weak. You must target the leader of the terrorist organization if you want any success in changing behavior. Bin Salman has a green light.

Following reports of numerous deaths at Travis Scott's Astroworld festival. Video from the scene shows 3 people receiving CPR. Unclear what has caused the injuries and deaths.
It doesn't appear to be any sort of shooting or direct attack. Early reports of either a stampede or bad drugs.
I've seen video of at least 6 different people getting CPR.
I don’t usually do this, but this guy Stern pitched me a wild story a year ago about him going undercover and discovering a Russian spy ring in Florida that the feds were going to take down. He’s a serial fabricator. Pass pass pass.
It’s Deripaska, it could be anything, but I’ll remind people that there was a money laundering investigation still bounding thru the UK courts as of last year bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
CNN says that the raid is connected to an investigation in *New York*, which is weird because I haven’t seen any activity at Deripaska’s two residences in NY cnn.com/2021/10/19/pol…
The bottom line: We *still* don't know why Alfa Bank was pinging the Trump Org-registered server, and there are tantalizing new clues in the @DanielJJonesUS report. krebsonsecurity.com/2021/09/lawsui…
I've yet to hear a rational explanation about how this can be explained.
"it is as if a person at the Trump Organization created a new unlisted telephone number, and shortly thereafter, the first incoming call received was from Alfa Bank, the most frequent caller of the old telephone number."
NEWS: Trump's lawyer Jay Sekulow signs on to represent Doug Wead, a senior GOP advisor accused of helping a Russian military operative donate money to the 2016 Trump campaign.
Jane Raskin is also on the team defending Wead, who has pleaded not guilty.
Wead is out on a personal recognizance bond. He has relinquished his passport.
