11. The American people are being kept in the dark, all we can do is speculate.

But speculation based on known facts is not a bad thing.

He decided on his own to break the word of the United States and pull out of the Iran agreement. One day all of this stuff will be known. I hope I live long enough to see it

3. SA definitely got something for the 2 billion.

It easily could be that Jared was intermediary and the $$ was for dad selling out his country for profit - as always? It could be that he had secret docs on SA's efforts? It could be hush $$ for Kashogian and the others killed due to drumpfs efforts to have MBS clean house? Traitor Canon says there's nothing more important though, than drumpfs feelings about this and he needs time to hide everything so she gave him that.

4. I doubt Saudi Arabia would pay for those

Iran's nuclear secrets aren't that well hidden. Israel's now, those would be worth whatever Saudi Arabia could pay.

The Saudis see the Iranians as their most dangerous adversaries.

12. The Saudis don't really need Israel's nuclear secrets

For one, the Saudis don't actually consider Israel an enemy. They both definitely see Iran as one though. And two, if the Saudis want nukes, they can get them from Pakistan. They basically bankrolled Pakistan's nuclear program.

8. Iran doesn't really have nuclear secrets though

We know right about where they are in their enrichment and what they would need to create a weapon. And we're attempting to get them back in the nuclear deal which would see them give up the program they have.

It's been suggested these were one of our ally's secrets. Wonder if it could be something he sold to Putin.

10. This was my first thought too. No way Trump would do this for Jared.

Unless Jared turned the money over to Trump.
