Is this related to Flynn trying to sell nuclear power plants to the Saudis? I'm having trouble keeping all of these treason stories straight.
You may remember this fine fellow from last week's Immoral Relativism about the USA to defend his "business" buddy Mohammed Bonesaw. Put a pin on his name; it'll come in handy.
That was the OTHER natsec thing Flynn was into besides conspiring with Russians before the inauguration, yes. Remember the OSC going extra hard into Middle Eastern affairs last year? Yah. Every dirty leader wanted a shot at that grift smorgasbord.

The Committee said its probe "is particularly critical because the administration's efforts to transfer sensitive US nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia appear to be ongoing."
On Feb. 12, Trump met with nuclear power developers about sharing nuclear tech with Mid East countries.

Tom Barrack—who was most recently in the news for minimizing the Khashoggi murder—appears to be a central figure in so many of Trump team's shenanigans. When is he going to be called before Congress? pic.twitter.com/CQvUkjVmeu

Whistleblowers from Trump's National Security Council have told the House Oversight Cmte that efforts by Michael Flynn to transfer sensitive nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia may have violated the law, and investigators fear Trump is still considering it.

They're all dumbshits. Ideological consistency is something they're mentally incapable of.
One idea I've seen is that it basically feeds war amongst non-whites.
I can *almost* see the reasoning here if I squint. Except that if the development of nuclear technology turns into actual nukes, that then get used either in political bargaining for more leverage, or in actual dropping of bombs, then this doesn't work out so well, since nuclear fallout hates white people as much as minorities.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure this would be a federal crime.
IIRC Per either the NPT or the Atomic Energy Act, the transfer of this sort of tech is subject to Congressional approval and oversight.

Most of them won't even hear about this in the fox/Breitbart/drudge bubble.
House and Senate or just Senate? Though I guess Senate would still need 60 votes.
I'm assuming both, since it would likely involve both the House and Senate Foreign Relations Committees, and Congressmen and Women from across the spectrum seem to be side-eyeing this whole affair.
There is clearly some major profiteering going on between Trump's world and Saudi Arabia.
This little bit was highlighted by the Washington Post's coverage:

Yeah, but as long as Flynn and the others say stuff like, "I did it because... STRAIGHT WHITE CHRISTIAN MAN! MAGAMAGAMAGA!" all is forgiven. Racism seems to be the universal answer to making many Americans thunderously applause the death of their own nation and rule of law.
Yeah but the judge basically told him to spill the rest of the beans or it's over for him. This may have been a part of that, maybe.
They want to give Saudi nukes for Iran, then Iran will need them too because they will be behind the other regional powers. Egregiously short sighted and blatantly corrupt.
I imagine that lease is a goner once Trump is out of office. I hope Kushner loses everything like Trump hopefully will.
EVERYTHING Trump does is a conflict of interest.
It's also a conflict of common sense, a conflict of decency, and a conflict of humanity.

I know "What if Obama" is exhausting, but if he owned property that started with 666 the crazy right-wing fringe would be inventing mass hysterical theories based on that alone.
Deadline: White House may have a segment on it. Wallace usually discusses these types of stories.
i'm sorry what?
Because treason is for the poor people that abide by laws. Not the wealthy.
Like all laws.
