Also over course they increase after the elections.
Are they not allowed to belly-up to the SACRED DESK?
Didn't The Intercept get money from SBF?
Ken clearly didn’t sleep since he was best man at a wedding yesterday.
Honestly, fair trade.
stop saying Washing post! drives me crazy…..
Why would Biden need to issue immunity to a civil suit to a foreign leader? There is no way that lawsuit ruling could be enforced. It would be like Afghan citizens trying to sue Biden for stealing the money from their country’s central bank and collapsing their economy.
Modern Jugurtha
Was there anything the US could do about it? No.
So why shoot ourselves in the foot by making a fuss in public?
Move on and continue the development away from oil dependence. And the next time the Saudis want weaponry, let them sit in the waiting room for a good long time.
Just wondering who Biden thinks is gonna cover his own son's ass in this quid pro quo
If no one is above the law, why does this happen? Why are there pardons? Why is there immunity?
Yes!
Absolutely unforgivable
Don't worry. No one in America will care whilst beef and energy prices are cheap – oh wait a minute…
>That pitch for money at the end.
Sounds exactly like early Tim Pool when he was claiming that he needed a news van and to hire journalists to do on the ground reporting. And after he raised all the money, someone who told him on Twitter that they were going to pull his beanie off pulled his beanie off, so he claimed he was no longer safe and proceeded to use the money to buy a compound equipped with a studio so he could sit at home reading news articles all day, and eventually podcasting as well.
how can the federal government grant immunity from a civil suit?
Biden will do ANYTHING to win elections. This would be small for his standards.
Think it just a coincidence. Ho Fo Sho
khashoggi was a spook and that guy on the left looked like yakub
I hope so.
Isn't this the guy whose father stole billions of dollars and then escaped to Canada? Breaking points hypocrisy knows no end.
Also his siblings are in house arrest in Saudi and clearly does n't give a fuck about them.
Really? Trump practically kiss the crown prince's ass
Biden is a traitor. Disgusting.
Elite People in the stratosphere are never held to account
Sure glad Biden is not beholden to the Saudi's like Trump was. Rolling over on every whim of the Prince, kowtowing and bowing……oh wait.

Yes
How is the US not the most corrupt Gov't in the history of the world.
Biden is the most useless and weak POTUS of my lifetime. MBS should be REMOVED FROM POWER. We are in charge of Saudi Arabia not the Saudi Family.
I hope he would. US economy is much more important.
wait they criticized the government and then went to saudia aribia??? thats like saying down with putin and going to russia what did you think was gonna happen?
If you have gray hair and still can't grow a beard, give up already.
Nothing to see here people. Move along.
If I ever see MBS in person trust me , I’ll get payback. You take an American, we take Saudi , that’s games we playing. Biaden don’t speak for me , hope we get MBS getting what he did to Jamall and put it up on live leak for the world to laugh
Do bears sleep in the woods?
Of course Biden struck a deal!🤣
Wait, you thought Biden would keep any of his promises? LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Oops! He did keep one promise: "Nothing will substantially change."
Profits over the people. Nothing to see here, folks. Same old, same old. Move along…
Funny Trump saying other countries are taking advantage of USA. But it turns out it's ally countries not foes. Why so weak? why so weak?
Ken your tie looks weird lol
Just change MBS's name to "Bernie Sanders." The Biden admin would be all over him in 2 seconds…
Grab this man up for a full time reporter role before some bullshit MSM company does.
BidenCo had been selling out to foreign powers, principles be damned, for a long long time. Congrats, America and MSM. He's that guy, and he's yours.
For every increase of $1 in the price of a barrel of oil, how many people die worldwide? No argument. Pardon him and flood the market with low cost oil. Save lives.
Sounds like major league extortion to me.
Will I was interested when I saw the title at first then when I saw that your “expert” on the matter is merrily the son of an exiled corrupt member of the Saudi leadership I was disappointed. Get better please.
That’s a great deal tbh, if he did good job
