Agents of the Saudi Arabian government are using US veterans as pawns in a scheme to gut a new law clearing a path for 9/11 families to sue the kingdom for its alleged role in the attacks, several vets complained in interviews with The Post.
I joined the Marine Corps as a direct result of 9/11, so to be wined and dined by the very people I joined to fight against, that was sickening, said Timothy Cord, who served as a Marine sergeant in Iraq.
Vets say the Saudi scam involves soliciting them to go on all-expenses-paid trips to Washington including lodging at the posh new Trump hotel near the White House to help pressure lawmakers into amending the recently passed bill, Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA).

There are plenty of people wearing R jerseys doing the bidding of the Saudis.
McCain, Graham, Rubio and the entire Bush family to name a few.

I think of McCain, Graham and the Bushes as Democrats. I know that they are officially Republicans in name at least.
I must be more clear and concise in the future.

This is ties into the Trump, Saudi Petrodollar Russian saga: the establishment is hawkish on Russia is because they are bankrolled by the Saudis. The Saudis never forgave the Russians for invading Afghanistan, and also want Russians out of Syria... The Saudis have pulled the strings on Washington far too long, and oppose any fiscal responsibility to 9-11.. Trump is having none of it.
