Trump is pissed at Cummings for exposing his Saudi nuclear deals.

Tom Barrack is involved with a group called IP3 International, which wants to make huge money helping Saudis build nuclear plants.
Flynn has said he is connected to that group.
You can find who else is in the group, here...very interesting ex-White House folks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP3_International

Cumming's Committee on Oversight and Reform has published its findings, exposing the group.
Did I mention Jared was involved?


New documents show that IP3 officials have had unprecedented access to the highest levels of the Trump Administration, including meeting directly with President Trump, Jared Kushner, Gary Cohn, KT McFarland, and Cabinet Secretaries Rick Perry, Steven Mnuchin, Mike Pompeo, Rex Tillerson, James Mattis, and Wilbur Ross. IP3 described the Trump Administration as “an extended team member.”

New documents show that Thomas J. Barrack, Jr.—a longtime personal friend, campaign donor, and inaugural chairman—negotiated directly with President Trump and other White House officials to seek powerful positions within the Administration—including Special Envoy to the Middle East and Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates—at the same time he was (1) promoting the interests of U.S. corporations seeking to profit from the transfer of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia; (2) advocating on behalf of foreign interests seeking to obtain this U.S. nuclear technology; and (3) taking steps for his own company, Colony NorthStar, to profit from the same proposals he was advancing with the Administration.

Officials from other companies in the nuclear industry have serious concerns about IP3 and its financial motive in pressing for the transfer of U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia, calling it a “boondoggle,” warning that “IP3 has a questionable reputation,” and observing, “This whole IP3 effort is still a bit strange and mysterious.” One industry executive called IP3 the “Theranos of the nuclear industry.”

the Trump Crime Syndicate was doing a tit for tat deal. How many Millions was schlepped to Kushner and Trump via Brookfield management via Ladder Capital. How about Flynn working to make himself 10's of millions in Commissions working the Nuke deals. And my guess is,this deal runs damn deep into our Military Command Structure.
