From what I understand Qatar outed Turkey, US and SA for the joint mission of all 4 to take over Syria. Now that it's not happening Qatar said they did not intend to be left holding the bag.
That happened, but before that, Qatar began becoming friendly with Iran and their media was exposing corruption in other Arab countries, pissing off the GCC members. On Trump's first trip to KSA, pretty sure he asked for names and everyone pointed at Qatar.
Then there were the ultimatums, etc.
My gut feeling is the Saudis know Trump knows everything and were given an ultimatum to drain their own swamp or else. There's also a theory that Kushner hand delivered evidence on those responsible for the LV shooting.
re LV...at this point I think some portion of our gov was responsible for LV. It's pretty clear there are multiple factions w/in the gov that have separate agendas and it 'seems like' a power struggle going on behind the scenes. Naturally is is speculation and subjective.

This news is more significant and more dangerous than many many can imagine.

Kushner was there two weeks ago on what the media is calling a 'secret' trip and there's a rumor that those arrested are friendly towards Qatar
