Wonder if there is some connection to Saudi purge. Somehow, I just think it’s got something to do with it. The timing.

yes the Saudi swamp was purged last weekend and their funding dried up. Both Podesta Group and Vin Weber's lobbying companies are specified in Manafort / Gates indictments and Trump tweeted (on 10/31), "The biggest story yesterday, the one that has the Dems in a dither, is Podesta running from his firm. What he know about Crooked Dems is.... earth shattering. He and his brother could Drain The Swamp, which would be yet another campaign promise fulfilled. Fake News weak!"

Just speculating of course, but maybe the Trump Administration gave the Saudi King proof of the corruption some of the Princes were engaged in, and their ties to Obama and the Clintons. In return, is is possible that the Saudi King is also providing information they are finding out that we didn’t know? Things that the intel community might have conveniently forgotten to tell the new President?
