And US Congress could investigate what is really going on in the so-called peace talks - how Witkoff and Kushner are selling out American interests for their own (Russia-related) benefit, and that of their boss or father in law.
The complicity and inaction in Congress is unconscionable.

At some point in the future, Witkoff should be prosecuted for this.

These Trump people are so desperate to meet their quota - they do anything.
Do they all want that? Probably not. Still: they must - and will - be held accountable. Only one is immune. And he is losing it anyway.
For far too many, this is no happy Thanksgiving.
