According to Cockburn’s source about the seven whistleblowers, there’s more. It is that Kushner (allegedly) gave the green light to MBS to arrest the dissident journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, who was later murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. A second source tells Cockburn that this is true and adds a crucial twist to the story. This source claims that Turkish intelligence obtained an intercept of the call between Kushner and MBS. And President Erdogan used it to get Trump to roll over and pull American troops out of northern Syria before the Turks invaded.
I am so damn sick of the Republicans saying “why impeach the President when there’s an election coming up in just over a year?” when one of his abuses of power was explicitly intended to influence the outcome of that election.
That’s also them pretending that they didn’t whine, kick and scream when he was under investigation for impeachable offenses as soon as he was elected. Of course then it was “these Democrats are just mad that they lost, they’re not even letting him get started!”
