How do we know that Trump did not deliver secrets to the Saudis at his Golf Tournament...?

..a couple of weeks ago?

As payment for the $2 billion dollars they donated to Jared?

We don't know for sure. We only know they are capable of it.

We have known for some time that the Saudis have wanted nuclear technology and that Trump and the Russians were willing to help them with their effort. Several people were going to get paid a big bunch of money. It appears that Jared may have already got his?

Whatever you can imagine, these crooks are capable of doing.

building his very own private "presidential library" on premises, complete with highly classified documents, artifacts, and letters..and only a select few foreign dignitaries, business elite would have access..and because duping the stupid out of their retirement is priority #1, at some point he would open his "library" to the public for a fee

I'm sure there was some quid pro quo going on there.

Saudi Prince MBS’ $2 Billion Loan to Trump Son-in-Law Jared Kushner Raises Doubts about Risk and Legitimacy

By: John Mason / Arab America Contributing Writer
Arab America, MAY 11, 2022

Excerpt…

The bottom line may be that, as Kushner served ex-president Trump, he purposely established a personal relationship, perhaps a friendship, with the Saudi Crown Prince. Through that, the Prince indicated that he wanted closer links between Israel and Arab Gulf State leaders. Considering Kushner’s modern Orthodox Jewish background, this relationship was natural, linking rich Arab countries with the capitalist spirit of Israel. From that emerged the so-called Abraham Accords, which opened diplomatic relations between Israel and other Arab monarchies.

While this story is bigger, more nuanced, and detailed than we have time to present here, we do need to point out that, while most Arab countries avoided recognition of Israel because of its occupation of the Palestinians, under these new accords, money seemed to outweigh any interest in defending the Palestinians. This was the cynical ploy of the Trump administration, which also resulted in the sweetheart deal between the Prince and Kushner.

Snip…

“You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours,” MBS’ loan to Kushner involved plenty of intrigue
In a speculative opinion in Vicky Ward Investigates, investigative reporter Ward suggests that the “real” reason Kushner was given the loan was linked to a foreign policy matter. She reports, “the money was possibly both an IOU for sympathetic foreign policy led by Kushner during the Trump years and also a bet by MBS on a return to the White House by Kushner’s father-in-law, Donald Trump.”

Now, it seems, Kushner’s personal relationship with Crown Prince MBS may have been at the root of the CIA’s denial of a top-secret clearance for the ex-president’s son-in-law. Ward’s story goes that it was Kushner and his allies in government who blocked top-level U.S. government support of the then Crown Prince, a cousin of MBS. Former Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef was purportedly a “long-time intelligence and counter-terrorism asset for the U.S.” Bin Nayef had attempted a legal coup in 2017 in an endeavor at regime change.

Such a coup would have ousted both King Salman and then-deputy crown prince MBS. Ward’s sources told her, “it was Kushner and his allies in the White House who got word to MBS of bin Nayef’s plans, and the plot was abruptly stopped.” Kushner’s presumed role in thwarting this coup is what drove U.S. intelligence officials “to go apoplectic,” thus initially preventing him from getting his top-level clearance.

The theory is, then, that the sizeable loan to Kushner by MBS was a “payoff” for moving bin Nayef out of the picture. Bin Nayef is under house arrest and hasn’t been seen in public for three years. The ousted prince did manage to communicate that he believed MBS had arranged a partnership, presumably with Kushner, to oust him from his place as the successor to King Salman. The U.S. apparently did not act on bin Nayef’s communication, allowing MBS to depose and replace him one month later.
