Trump Admin. violating the law by transferring sensitive nuclear info to Saudis: House Oversight Committee

Oh no… this isn’t that.

This is a grift put together by retired generals to make money by building nuclear plants in the Middle East.

Wouldn’t necessarily be the worst thing to do but as the report says.

One senior political official stated that the proposal was “not a business plan,” but rather “a scheme for these generals to make some money.” That official stated: “Okay, you know we cannot do this.

That was Iranian money, initially transferred to the US in payment for weapons that the US then did not deliver. As part of the nuclear deal with Iran, we returned the Iranian’s money to them.

In this case, the US is transferring its own nuclear secrets to a foreign government.

Do you agree there is a difference between giving something to some that they already own and giving something to someone that you own? Do you think this is complicated?

What could get Flynn in more trouble.

A key proponent of this nuclear effort was General Michael Flynn, who described himself in filings as an “advisor” to a subsidiary of IP3, IronBridge Group Inc., from June 2016 to December 2016—at the same time he was serving as Donald Trump’s national security advisor during the presidential campaign and the presidential transition. According to the whistleblowers, General Flynn continued to advocate for the adoption of the IP3 plan not only during the transition, but even after he joined the White House as President Trump’s National Security Advisor.
General Flynn failed to report in his security clearance renewal application a trip he took to Saudi Arabia in June 2015 on behalf of IP3 and its predecessor company. Although he reported a separate trip to Saudi Arabia in October 2015, General Flynn omitted key details, including the identity of the “work sponsor” that financed the trip. General Flynn claimed that he spoke at a conference during that trip, but none of his three speakers’ bureaus had any involvement with the trip or knew of any conference there. Finally, General Flynn told investigators that he stayed at the King Khaled International Hotel, but a U.S. consulate official could not identify any such hotel in Saudi Arabia.

Sarcasm meter on the fritz :slight_smile:

I swear there was a meeting for it…

But we knew about this back in 2017 as well…but it seems like they have continued on with it regardless of Flynn being fired…

Nothing berder… Bump

This is the part that could cause Kushner some trouble.

In January 2018, Brookfield Business Partners, a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management, announced its plans to acquire Westinghouse Electric for $4.6 billion. Westinghouse Electric is the bankrupt nuclear services company that is part of IP3’s proposed consortium to build nuclear reactors in Saudi Arabia, and which stands to benefit from the Middle East Marshall Plan.23 In August 2018, Brookfield Asset Management purchased a partnership stake in 666 Fifth Avenue, a building owned by Jared Kushner’s family company.24

In February 2018, it was reported: “The administration is considering permitting Saudi Arabia to enrich and reprocess uranium as part of a deal that would allow Westinghouse Electric Co. and other American companies to build nuclear reactors in the Middle East kingdom.”28

The marshall plan…thats it…

So the declarations by Judge Sullivan of him being a traitor to the nation while acting as National Security Advisor was true after all. Interesting.

Do you guys remember how John Gotti’s listed occupations were motel owner, restaurant owner and disco owner?

That’s what these crooks and criminals remind me of. They all have normal job descriptions but they’re just crooks and criminals.

Requirements for working for the Trump administration:

  1. Learn 3 words: “I don’t recall.”
  2. Be prepared to be thrown under the bus
  3. Hire a lawyer, and made damn sure he’s clean
  1. Tell your lawyer, if he or she is smart, they’ll hire a lawyer, too.
