A new report from House Democrats reveals disturbing new details about a secretive effort by top Trump administration officials to sell sensitive nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia in defiance of at least some of the nations ethics statutes.
The House Oversight and Reform Committee on Tuesday released a report accompanied by a tranche of internal White House emails detailing a scheme spearheaded by now-disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to sell technology for roughly 40 nuclear power plants to Saudi Arabia.
The plan was already known due to previous reporting by the Wall Street Journal, for example, but the Democrats report does add more insight into what was happening behind the scenes to push the proposal through.
The effort was part of a broader Middle East economic development plan Flynn began putting together before Trumps inauguration while he was serving as an adviser to Trumps campaign and transition team.

Draining the ethics.

(16,887 posts)I actually feel sick when I read this and it tells me the sellout and profiteering from Trump and his cabal is much worse than any of us thought....
No wonder they love Saudi Arabia so much....and also are so eager to not only embrace them, ignore brutal murders and dismemberments, but WHY they also wanted to go against Iran and pull out of the deal....
Nuclear Saudi Arabia? Is THIS the Mid East Peace Plan that Jared Kushner put together?
Me.

(171,096 posts)look forward to finding out Kushner was a part of this. He's in SA all the time. I imagine he's connected somehow.

I mean if people are hung up on the word treason because we are supposed to be at war, then at the very least this is a crime of espionage. It certainly fits the dictionary definition of treason. That weasel Kushner needs to room with Bubba in a federal prison.

(7,142 posts)is the world's #1 terrorist country. I keep hearing how SA is our friend. SA has Madrassas all over the world, Iran doesn't.
After we give SA nuclear weapons why not open up flight schools in America and train them how to take off jumbo jets? We can save money since we don't have to teach them how to land planes.
I wonder how much money SA is paying Trump and Kushner to give them nukes?
This is yet another example of how Trump is unfit to perform the duties of president of the United States. A Democratic president would have been impeached a year ago. We don't need Mueller's report there is enough out there now to warrant impeachment.
If the Senate fails to convict him then they need to be called traitors every freaking day until election day.
