Saudi crown prince boasted that Jared Kushner was “in his pocket” & had divulged names of Saudis disloyal to him – intel straight from the President's Daily Brief, which Jared read regularly before being stripped of his TS security clearance.
#Maddow interc.pt/2DKsRQK
Recall: Jared Kushner's unannounced Oct trip to Riyadh caught some intelligence officials off guard. “The two princes stayed up until nearly 4 am...planning strategy.” The following week, the crown prince launched his royal "purge."
HT @sharmila819 #Maddow
ICYMI on Oct 29: "Kushner left DC via commercial airline on Wed for the trip, which was not announced to the public. The WH official would not say who Kushner met w/ in Saudi, but he's cultivated a relationship w/ Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman."
#Maddow
Prior to losing his TS security clearance, Jared Kushner requested more info from the intelligence community than any other WH employee [apart from NSC staff], was an avid reader of the PDB, and apparently, shared TS intel w/ Crown Prince Mohammed.
#Maddow
Saudi crown prince MBS boasted that during his Oct visit, Jared Kushner divulged Saudi figures disloyal to him – info straight from the PDB. In Nov, MBS launched his royal purge. "Saudi figures named in the PDB were among those rounded up; at least 1 reportedly tortured."

Saudi crown prince MBS reportedly bragged to Emirati crown prince MBZ that Kushner was "in his pocket." According to 2016 & 2017 intercepts, MBZ saw Kushner as a target of influence.
They all know Jared's desperate for cash.

The WH referred @theintercept's questions to NSC spox Michael Anton, who referred Kushner-MBS questions to Kushner atty Lowell – WHY? Under FBI scrutiny?

THREAD: In light of the Trump admin lifting sanctions on Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska's companies, recall that Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, conspired with Deripaska during the 2016 campaign with help from Russian intelligence operative Konstantin Kilimnik.
#Maddow
JUL 7, 2016: Manafort offers Deripaska private campaign briefings then meets with Kilimnik re the same on Aug 2.

AUG 11, 2016 email from Manafort's CPA: "Paul has indicated $2.4M in fees earned, but not yet received. Expected to be deposited Nov 2016 [post election?]."
#Maddow
JUL 29, 2016 email from Russian intelligence operative Kilimnik to Manafort [days after Trump accepts GOP nomination]: "I met today with [Deripaska]. I have important messages from him to you. He asked me to go & brief you on our conversation."

McCARTHY: There’s two people, I think, Putin pays – Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God.

RYAN: This is an off the record [laughter] NO LEAKS...alright?! This is how we know we’re a real family.

SCALISE: That’s how you know that we’re tight.
-Never forget-
JUN 15, 2016, @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy to Paul Ryan, @SteveScalise, and other GOP: "There’s...there’s two people, I think, Putin pays. Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God."

@Evan_McMullin was there and confirmed it was not a joke.
wapo.st/2pY7eFF
Per @Evan_McMullin: One senior GOP leader [that's you, @GOPLeader!] dolefully informed his peers that he thought Trump was on the Kremlin’s payroll and had been compromised by Russian intelligence. Other GOP leaders were surprised but did not dispute him.

CORRECTION: Manafort told Kilimnik to pass TRUMP polling data not to Deripaska but to Ukrainian oligarchs Rinat Akhmetov & Serhiy Lyovochkin, who funneled $50K to Trump's inaugural & is business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss Mogilevich].
#Maddow
FYI: Rick Gates testified that between 2010-2013, former Yanukovych CoS Serhiy Lyovochkin funneled $42M to Paul Manafort. At the time, Lyovochkin was business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss, Semion Mogilevich].
#Maddow kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…
In his plea deal, Sam Patten, US business partner of Konstantin Kilimnik [Russian GRU associate of Manafort & Gates] who worked for Cambridge Analytica in 2014, said a Ukranian oligarch [Serhiy Lyovochkin] funneled $50K into Trump's inaugural fund.

#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.
