Recall: Mueller's favorite cooperating witness, Rick Gates, was not only Deputy Chair of the Trump campaign, he was also Deputy Chair of Trump's Inaugural Committee [Tom Barrack's chief deputy], managing the murky $107M inauguration fund.

I wonder if Jared Kushner has a clever name for the slush fund I have no doubt he set up to skim some of that sweet inaugural cash from Saudi Arabia, UAE & Qatar or if he just called it "My 666 Monies" 🤔

ICYMI: Saudi Prince MBS, who boasted that Jared Kushner was “in his pocket” & had divulged names of Saudis disloyal to him straight from the top secret PDB, feuds with Emirati Prince MBZ over who has more control of senior White House advisor Kushner.
