pretty devastating report even without any cooperation from the Executive branch
https://oversight.house.gov/sites/democrats.oversight.house.gov/files/Trump Saudi Nuclear Report July 2019.pdfOverall, the new documents obtained by the Committee reveal that, with regard to
Saudi Arabia, the Trump Administration has virtually obliterated the lines normally
separating government policymaking from corporate and foreign interests. The documents
show the Administration’s willingness to let private parties with close ties to the President
wield outsized influence over U.S. policy towards Saudi Arabia. These new documents
raise serious questions about whether the White House is willing to place the potential
profits of the President’s friends above the national security of the American people and
the universal objective of preventing the spread of nuclear weapons.
One of the key individuals leveraging his close ties to President Trump and the
Administration to promote his own interests has been the President’s longtime personal friend,
campaign donor, and inaugural chairman, Thomas J. Barrack, Jr., who began communicating
with IP3 just days before the inauguration in January 2017.
New documents show that Mr. Barrack negotiated directly with President Trump and
other White House officials to seek powerful positions within the Administration—including
Special Envoy to the Middle East and Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates—at the same
time he was (1) promoting the interests of U.S. corporations seeking to profit from the transfer of
nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia; (2) advocating on behalf of foreign interests seeking to
obtain this U.S. nuclear technology; and (3) taking steps for his own company, Colony
NorthStar, to profit from the same proposals he was advancing with the Administration.
A key component of Mr. Barrack’s plan, which he called the Middle East Marshall Plan,
was to purchase Westinghouse Electric Company—the only U.S. manufacturer of large-scale
nuclear reactors—using significant Saudi and Emirati capital, but with enough U.S. ownership to
bypass scrutiny from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).

Trump deserves a fucking medal for bringing this countrywide American tragedy to our collective consciousness . Fuck Cummings. He is derelict. The people of Baltimore know the game. Cummings and his wife have enriched themselves and she has been indicted by the feds I believe. Now Trump has The Democrats defending systemic squalor of the shitholes they run. I don’t give a fuck what his motives are if he moves the conversation to helping these people that are prisoners in their own purgatory.
