RTÉ now covering the Seabourne Freight story. Oddly RTÉ are not suggesting that the Irish Government leaned on Arklow Shipping to pull out. Possibly because this is a country with a written constitution & rudimentary understanding of the rule of law…

Rees Mogg increasingly blames Ireland for his own Brexit fiasco. Fully understandable he wants to shift blame – his name is set to live in infamy. Sadly a few will believe his malevolent nonsense. Fortunately, most of our British friends are far too decent and intelligent. 🇮🇪 🇬🇧

President Trump refused to provide Congress a report about who killed Jamal Khashoggi. Critics said he was seeking to cover up Saudi complicity in the murder. https://t.co/4wVX1S9XkQ pic.twitter.com/6GNUkINWCW
— NYT Politics (@nytpolitics) February 9, 2019
“We warn against any attempt to link Khashoggi’s crime to our leadership.”
Who’s attempted such a link? The Post. Who owns the Post? Bezos. Who had the ability to hack Bezos and a connection to AMI? The Saudis. Who’s conspired with both the Saudis and AMI and hates Bezos? Trump. https://t.co/t3hFujveZp— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) February 9, 2019
1. It came out of left field, but last night's bombshell developments seem to have exposed a tangled web involving the Saudis, MBS, their allies, Team Trump, global hacking rings, Khashoggi, the Washington Post and Bezos that could take everything down. Follow the chain here:
