7. I contacted @standtogether and @dandcaldwell and gave them an opportunity to respond before publication. Instead, I've been subject to repeated attacks from Koch-funded entities and individuals (with no disclosure) https://t.co/iZZp7KtPSE — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. This piece on Charles Koch and Russia is generating a lot of interest. A few folks though are harshly criticizi… https://t.co/63LDofs2uh
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. "The United States can and should do very little for Ukraine. Ukraine simply doesn't matter to America's security or our prosperity." -- @WillRuger This is what these people believe. Ukrainian civilians and being slaughtered and the United States should do "very little." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. Also undisclosed is that @amconmag's board of trustees includes longtime Koch operative @willruger, who was the subject of a previous critical report on how the Koch network is being deployed to support @KochIndustries https://t.co/zpwSF6yyNF — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. No one actually disputes the accuracy of my reporting. No one disputes that Koch's non-profit opposes Biden's sanctions regime. No one disputes that the Koch non-profit supports a diplomatic resolution where Russia is ceded Ukrainian territory. https://t.co/dJCMzFTihF — PolitiTweet.org

3. The article describes me as a "hawk." Which is an interesting description for someone who opposed the Iraq war and many other interventions and just published an extensive piece criticizing the size Biden's defense budget https://t.co/CFPe69v0Fl — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. The article, which describes my accurate reporting on Koch as a "cheap smear" was printed in @amconmag No where in the article is there any disclosure that @amconmag has received $1 million from the Charles Koch Institute between 2015-19, the most recent data available. https://t.co/qJ9mbaxPz2 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. Oh look, another article smearing me for reporting the truth about the position of Charles Koch's non-profit and Koch Industries on Russia. This one calls me "mendacious" and "vile." And (surprise!) it's printed in a publication that receives MILLIONS in Koch funding 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

14. While he was in the White House, Kushner did everything he could to advance the interests of MBS and the Saudi government. Now he has his payback. And it comes with 9 zeros. https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
13. But they were overruled by MBS, who controls PIF. Kushner got his check for $2 billion. He will be paid at least $25 million per year for "managing" the money plus a share of the profits (if any) https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
12. So Kushner came to the Saudi's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and asked for $2 billion. PIF's committee that vets investments recommended against it because Kushner is unqualified, his firm was poorly run, and his fees were too high https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
11. Kushner's primary prior business experience was nearly bankrupting his family real estate company by purchasing an aging office tower in NYC for $1.8 billion https://t.co/sJxIb0wsM1 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
10. After leaving the White House, Kushner launched a private equity firm and sought to raise $7 billion. He is completely unqualified for this role. He has no experience in private equity. https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
9. Many months after US intel established MBS' involvement in the murder plot, Kushner pretended the US was still was unclear about his role "Look, it's a horrific thing that happened…Once we have all the facts, then we'll make a policy determination" https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
8. Kushner "became the prince’s most important defender inside the White House." He convinced Trump to veto legislation that would have blocked armed sales to Saudi. https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. Kushner's friendly conversations with MBS continued even after US intelligence established MBS' culpability for Khashoggi's murder and Kushner "offered the crown prince advice about how to weather the storm." https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. Kushner, by that time, was communicating with MBS via WhatsApp, an encrypted messaging service owned by Facebook. "The two men were on a first-name basis, calling each other Jared and Mohammed in text messages and phone calls." https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. Kushner successfully pushed Trump to make Saudi Arabia the first country he visited as president over "objections from other senior administration officials" Kushner traveled to Saudi Arabia again in the fall of 2017 to meet with MBS. https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. In March 2017, Kushner hosted MBS in the White House’s State Dining Room. In the months that followed, Kushner and MBS "consulted with one another frequently in private calls." https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. The person driving Trump's approach was his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who was put in charge of Middle East policy. From the moment Trump entered the White House Kushner sought to create a personal relationship with MBS https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. "I saved his ass. I was able to get Congress to leave him alone. I was able to get them to stop" Trump was bragging about protecting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman from accountability for the murder of US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. I don't think there is a full appreciation of the BRAZENLY CORRUPT SCHEME executed by Jared Kushner that ended up with the Saudis writing him A CHECK WITH 9 ZEROS So let's review exactly what happened https://t.co/jsD8YEzwUh — PolitiTweet.org

@richards1052 I understand what you are saying and if you feel this way you probably won't be interested. Which is fine — PolitiTweet.org

@WattleOfBits I spend a lot of time listening to conservatives. It's where I get most of the ideas for my newsletter. — PolitiTweet.org

8. Just to be clear, this experiment is not a call for moderation or "meeting in the middle." I reject that kind of politics as simplistic and counterproductive. This is an experiment in engaging the other side. — PolitiTweet.org

@WattleOfBits To be clear, this is not a call for moderation or "meeting in the middle." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@WattleOfBits That's fair. I feel like I learn things. But that doesn't mean everyone does. Easy solution is just not to listen. This will not be imposed on anyone. — PolitiTweet.org

@rrschachparadox You can decide if it's like a bunch of other podcasts. It's an experiment. If it is just like a bunch of other podcasts we'll definitely stop doing it. There might be only one episode ever. — PolitiTweet.org
