The Castro twins may be using Ukrainegate to push on evidence that the Saudi Crown Prince ordered the execution of Jamal Khashoggi. Trump’s recorded conversatons may be opening a frightening new frontier.
Congressman Joaquin Castro has noted “reporting that Jared Kushner may have, with U.S. intelligence, delivered a hit list, an enemies list, to the crown prince, in Saudi Arabia and that the prince may have acted on that, and one of the people he took action against is Mr. Khashoggi,”
“To be clear, I did not intend to accuse Jared Kushner of orchestrating the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. But based on several press reports, the close relationship between Kushner and Mohammad bin Salman is a source of concern for the U.S. intelligence community and those of us who want a transparent American foreign policy,” said Castro.
“This is especially problematic given the President and his family’s business enterprises and the possibility that they profit from these foreign entities. For these reasons, Congress should open an investigation to see whether Jared or any other Administration official shared any U.S. intelligence with the Saudis that led to any political persecution, including the killing of Jamal Khashoggi,” he continued.
The calls may be relevant to the impeachment because Trump has negotiated arms deals with the Prince while insisting that the Saudi king gave a “very strong” denial of the incident and suggested instead that there might have been “rogue killers” “It’s very sad,” he said and added that if Saudi Arabia was involved in the killing, punishments would “have to be severe, I mean it’s bad, bad stuff. We’ll see what happens. OK?”
Now, the rumors are that Trump’s acquiescence to the murder may have been a payment for Saudi purchases mediated by Kushner.
