From University of New Hampshire professor and attorney Seth Abramson, author of his upcoming book, "Proof of Conspiracy:"
I'm going to tell you now the chief thing I've learned from many months of research for my forthcoming book Proof of Conspiracy: Jared Kushner is now the greatest domestic danger to America. And many former US government officials know for a fact that what I've just said is true.— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) March 9, 2019
1/ Whatever you think VP Dick Cheney was to President George W. Bush, take that, make it 3 times as sinister, make Bush 10 times more sociopathic and a devout criminal, and make Cheney stupid, venal, and entirely dismissive of our rule of law and you get what Kushner is to Trump.— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) March 9, 2019
2/ Kushner is going to get us into a *devastating* war with Iran. Jared, singlehandedly. Jared, to make money for himself. I'll say now that Jared more richly deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life than Manafort, and Manafort richly deserves it. That's how bad this is.— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) March 9, 2019
3/ I'm wondering today more than I ever have before whether Special Counsel Robert Mueller has spoken to one man: Rex Tillerson. For all that Tillerson presented a danger of a corrupt detente between Trump and Putin, I think he knows *now* exactly how dangerous Jared Kushner is.— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) March 9, 2019
4/ Don't believe anything you hear from Kushner's attorney or from Kushner. *Ever*. The latter will always be lying to you, and the former will either be lying to you or will have been lied to by his client. I don't know if Mueller can save us from this particular danger or not.— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) March 9, 2019
5/ Whether you realize it or not, Kushner having top secret security clearance is *the* issue in American politics right now, as Trump circumventing our intelligence community to give his son-in-law that access is the shibboleth that made the current danger to America *possible*.— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) March 9, 2019
6/ Our foreign policy is totally off the rails in a way that is dangerous, and the sole reason for this is the Kushner-Trump axis. Our values have been betrayed in ways that we may shortly feel so keenly our heads will spin. We need whistleblowers to blow their whistles now. /end— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) March 9, 2019
We know that Trump doesn't listen to the intelligence community (IC) much less read his IC briefings because he hates the IC (and he is only semi-literate anyway). Jared OTOH loves the IC stuff not because he has been designated as the chief Middle East peacemaker. (He doesn't know shit about foreign policy or history.) No, because he can use it as collateral to make money. The latest thing he is trying to do is to get Crown Prince Bonesaw to buy nuclear technology from Westinghouse Electric for which he would presumably get a handsome commission. This is very likely what the secret talks were about and from which American Embassy officials were specifically excluded.
ReplyDeleteSolution? Don't let any intelligence at all go to Trump and his evil spawn. Trump won't care and Kushner has to be walled off. Confine IC briefings to Pompeio, Coates and Bplton for the remainder of Trump's term in office. Bolton is a very nasty man but he is not a traitor.
Jimbo -- We hope the IC professionals at CIA / FBI / NSA, etc. are able to edit out the most sensitive material before it's provided to Kushner et. al. They know what precluded Javanka from getting Top Secret clearances, so it's not farfetched to think that they're taking adequate precautions. Let's hope anyway.
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else, Seth Abramson is selling a new book. But in his tweets, he sounds sincerely terrified about Kuschner and what he's up to behind the scenes. It can be officially carved into granite that Trump and his family are thieves and grifters of the highest order and that this presidency is merely a vehicle for big real estate deals and merchandising schemes.
ReplyDeleteBut Kuschner is playing with fire and he doesn't know what the hell he's doing. And he can jeopardize our security and wreck relationships in the Middle East. Someone has got to follow the money, to keep up with what his deals are and what he’s giving away to foreign powers.
And Trump is being quoted after hosting a big gathering at Mar-A-Largeass that “Democrats hate Jews” and will begin incorporating that message into his upcoming rallies, hoping to sow discord among religious groups and trying to garner more votes for himself. He's a shameless monster.
So we need to listen to Abramson and get as much light shining on Kuschner as possible. If he's worried, I'm worried.
