The Saudis just hosted a golf tournament at another Twitler property. Why does my brain keep going to quid pro quo to the Saudis for Kushner's $2 billion loan?

(16,254 posts)Once Trump learned of it, he would have tossed and turned every night, salivating over the thought of his own "gift" from the Saudi slayer.
There are two desires at the top of his list: sex and wealth
Mother Nature took care of one. Grifting is taking care of the other.
Just sayin'!

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epsteins investment in an Israeli start-up reveals a myriad of links to Donald Trump and Israeli spies.
https://narativ.org/2019/07/27/building-big-brother/
Its been thirty-two years since the Pollard Affair pierced the seemingly impenetrable façade of U.S.-Israeli relations. Now, two suspected Israeli agents are in jail indicted on separate charges of sex trafficking of minors. Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on July 6 and charged with trafficking minors across state lines. George Nader a key witness for Robert Mueller was arrested last month for possession of child porn and transporting a minor for sex from Europe.
Epstein and Nader share a personal network that includes Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Erik Prince, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and his UAE counterpart, Mohamed Bin Zayed. But their association goes further than powerful friends and proclivities for teenage boys and girls. Epstein and Nader are believed to be agents for Israeli Intelligence. Narativ has independently confirmed with two separate sources who were in a position to know that Epstein worked for Israeli military intelligence.
Both men also have ties to a burgeoning Israeli tech sector which is bringing Mossad-style military intelligence to the private sector and endangering the global balance of power. The Haaretz newspaper has previously reported that Epstein, who was Donald Trumps friend through the 80s and 90s, partnered in an Israeli start-up alongside former Israel Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
Barak is seeking to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu as Israeli Prime Minister in the upcoming re-run elections scheduled for September. Since 2015, he has been the front-man for Carbyne, an Israeli start-up which purports to be a high-tech solution for 911 emergency call centers, but the platforms architecture and investors raise serious privacy concerns. Narativ undertook an extensive investigation into Carbyne, and can now reveal a myriad of troubling connections between the start-up and people connected to Donald Trump.
