ME dealings by members of Trump's family are not a sideshow. 666 allegations are not a sideshow and nor is the "brilliant" idea of selling nuclear reactors to the House of Saud. Oh is this bail out partly linked to a very slight warming of relations between Saudi Arabia and Qatar?
For some months now the Russians have turned directions on Trump and his family. I don't believe the Russians will act impulsively to reveal anything at this point in time thought. https://sputniknews.com/us/201902131072385157-qatar-jaraed-kushner-666-fifth-avenue-bailout-reports/ Russian Intelligence has nicely spun this article so as to lead with a denial by Qatar and then finish with a conclusion that the denial is implausible. Perhaps we should see it as an each way bet as well as a something of a vailed threat.
We may correctly agree that US domestic politics is an entertainment sideshow BUT the entertainment stops where foreign policy is influenced by personal financial bailouts in the order of hundreds of millions of dollars.
