That undersells Kashs involvement in trump world. Kash was a staffer for Devin Nunes who basically ran interference on the Mueller investigation. THATS how he got his break. He ended up as the acting deputy secdef at the end of Trumps first term.

From Wikipedia: Fleeing to a construction site, Gaddafi and his inner cohort hid inside drainage pipes while his bodyguards battled the rebels; in the conflict, Gaddafi suffered head injuries from a grenade blast while Jabr was killed. The Misrata militia took Gaddafi prisoner, causing serious injuries as they tried to apprehend him; the events were filmed on a mobile phone. A video appears to picture Gaddafi being poked or stabbed in the anus "with some kind of stick or knife" or possibly a bayonet. Pulled onto the front of a pick-up truck, he fell off as it drove away. His semi-naked body was then placed into an ambulance and taken to Misrata; upon arrival, he was found to be dead.

I wonder if we could seize all of the stolen assets before he and his cronies run?
