Without evidence, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX), a member of the House intelligence committee, said Jared Kushner might have passed a “hit list” to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman resulting in the apparent brutal slaying of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.  Castro, during a CNN appearance Friday morning, cited unspecified “reporting that Jared Kushner may have, with U.S. intelligence, delivered a hit list, an enemies list, to the crown prince, to MBS, in Saudi Arabia and that the prince may have acted on that, and one of the people he took action against is Mr. Khashoggi.” When CNN’s Poppy Harlow interjected that she was unfamiliar with such reporting and the network had not reported that, Castro reiterated that “I’ve seen reporting to that effect… that needs to be investigated.” While Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, is close with the Saudi crown prince, no one has accused Kushner of any involvement, let alone orchestration, in the Khashoggi killing. The Daily Beast has reached out to Castro’s office for clarification and comment.

Typical democrat smear. Pure speculation once said on the airwaves sticks in the minds of the impressionable. Disgusting tactic that will be used more and more.

You'd think they'd learn after Kavanaugh.

Imagine someone accusing a person of being involved in an assassination with no proof whatsoever! Who would do such a thing?

Imagine someone saying someone might have known Lee Harvey Oswald from an article in the Enquirer.  Didn't Trump say something like this is ridiculous? What a terrible thing.  I'd check the exact words.

Report: Saudi Crown Prince Purged, Tortured Rivals After Jared Kushner Gave Him Classified ‘Enemies’ List

7 Apr 2018317
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) reportedly boasted that Jared Kushner gave him top-secret classified information that he used to purge his political enemies last year.
According to a Daily Mail report, Kushner reportedly made a copy of the Presidential Daily Brief (PDF), which had classified information about bin Salman’s rivals, and gave the document to bin Salman to “impress” the crown prince when Kushner secretly traveled to Saudi Arabia last October.

This was touched on briefly in this forum about last week. I forget how this was resolved.  It might have been denied. I don't see why WE would have better intelligence on this particular matter than Saudi Arabia.

But no matter, Khashoggi was obviously an insider-type OR well known already; I think Rush even said Khashoggi himself worked inside embassies before. They knew who he was. He was tight with the Royals already.  A hit list wasn't needed for Khashoggi.
