Then there’s this. Where to defend Witkoff the WH has to have Vance say something obsequious and quote officials in front of Trump whose job is to flatter him. This is literally Dictator type stuff; even the staff can’t be seen to speak credibly or understand what’s actually happening.
The “2nd Admin official” also points out how brilliant Witkoff is for learning that he should take along a State Dept translator instead of relying on Putin’s because of all the public backlash.
Oh. But don’t worry. There can’t be any corruption going on because Witkoff uses his own plane and pays for his trips himself. This is all so fucking outrageous.
I doubt he’s paying it either. Which makes you wonder who is paying, or why? Much easier to do shady things without accountability.
So Witkoff flies around in a G650ER, depending on what figure you use he’s spent $500k-$1million on his plane flights to Moscow so far. I do not think he’s doing this out of the goodness of his heart.
