TRUMP ORGANIZATION BUSINESS PARTNER SIGNED A DEAL WITH SAUDI-BACKED FUND WEEKS BEFORE JOURNALIST DISAPPEARED
By Walker Davis
October 19, 2018
Three weeks before journalist Jamal Khashoggi disappeared after entering the Saudi general consul in Istanbul, the Trump Organization’s business partner in Indonesia inked an agreement with a construction firm in which the Saudi government owns a large stake. The agreement advances plans for the two firms to work together on an Indonesian development that will include Trump-branded elements.

Unlike other presidents, President Trump did not divest himself of his business holdings before entering the White House, nor has he since. As a result, he stands to benefit personally from the Indonesia project, whose construction now appears to rely on a formal agreement with a firm of which the Saudi Arabian government owns more than a third.

An official with the Saudi-tied firm also said they expect to be involved in the development of a different Trump-branded project in the future.

The agreement is the most recent example of conflicts of interest President Trump has with Saudi Arabia through the Trump Organization. Many have questioned whether there is a connection between these conflicts and the president’s reluctance to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for Khashoggi’s disappearance.

1. so any damn fool with a checkbook can buy our foreign policy....wonderful

[RainCaster]

14. Trump told us that's how it would be before the election

He said that he spent lots of money to buy politicians, and he expected action. "They always take my calls " he bragged. Now he is the dancing monkey.

For Putin
For MBS
for Koch bros
For Sheldon
For Monsanto
The list goes on

Did you really expect anything different?

[PearliePoo2]

2. It sure could explain it! Keep digging media!

Lift up the rocks and expose all the filthy trump vermin!

[Achilleaze]

3. Wow - the KGOP republican corruption & complicity is staggering

and the GOP Congress will not raise a finger, or utter a whisper to protect or defend the USA from this stark and dark evil. Shameful. Sinful.

[calimary]

7. Reason enough to VOTE, DAMMIT!

We take back the House, WE can start investigations with real teeth.

[7962]

4. Trump just wishes he could "disappear" the reporters HE doesnt like.

Which wouldn't leave very many reporters

[watoos]

5. How about no mention

from our corporate media about the plans to build nuclear reactors in Saudi Arabia? What could possibly go wrong there?

[dmr]

6. Arghhh .... of course, as he hides this by framing his deep concern

on how it would be an American economic loss for both American business and American workers.

We knew this was personal for him. Here it is, or at least, some of it.

Who knows what other debts Trump, Kushner and others to whom they are connected owe to these people.

Khashoggi's murder proves that the rest of us in the world are simply nuisances. We have little or no value. We are in their way of doing as they damn well please.

8. It may be why the Saudis decided they could now go ahead with their murder plot.

[lagomorph777]

9. He's admitted out loud that the Saudi give him hundreds of millions of $$.

So...yes. Of course this is why he's throwing US national security away and letting the Saudis get away with murder.

[Racerdog1]

10. This orange asshole knows

He could be next on the hit list if he doesn't play ball with these animals.

[magicarpet]

11. Poof,.. make it go away,... $$$S. Same modus operandi with trDump University, commit....

... fraud to ripoff millions of $$$$ from students.

(begin snip)

Four days after announcing the possibility of an investigation into Trump University, the Orlando Sentinel reported, Bondi got $25,000 from Trump's charitable foundation. (Trump would later pay an Internal Revenue Service fine because political contributions from charitable foundations are illegal, according to the Washington Post.)

In Texas, officials announced an investigation but dropped it months later when Trump University agreed to leave Texas. Trump donated $35,000 to Abbott's gubernatorial campaign three years later.

12. If the Saudis had said Khashoggi tripped and broke his head, Trump would have replied:

"sounds good to me".

Trump is not a Christian because he worships the dollar and even now as an old man he evidently believes he will take his wealth with him so he probably wants to be entombed in a pyramid like a pharaoh.

13. Lock him up, lock him up (PLEASE) sooner the better

[Amaryllis]

15. I'm sure this is just another of many coincidences. NOthing to see here. Don't be paranoid....
