The Dems need to include some questions about Jamal Khashoggi’s death at the hands of the Saudis. From NYT
His killers were waiting when Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul two weeks ago. They severed his fingers and later beheaded and dismembered him, according to details from audio recordings described by a senior Turkish official on Wednesday.
Mr. Khashoggi was dead within minutes, and within two hours the killers were gone, the recordings suggested.
The leaking of such details, on the same day Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was visiting Turkey, reflected an escalation of pressure by the Turkish government on Saudi Arabia and the United States for answers on the fate of Mr. Khashoggi, a prominent dissident journalist who wrote for The Washington Post.
As they cut off Mr. Khashoggi’s head and dismembered his body, a doctor of forensics who had been brought along for the dissection and disposal had some advice for the others, according to the senior Turkish official.
Listen to music, he told them, as he put on headphones himself. That was what he did to ease the tension when doing such work, the official said, describing the contents of the audio recording.
@daveminnj FYI
Yeah, I read that a little while ago…unspeakable.
Horrific is all I can think of.
POTUS is willing to cover up the sanctioned murder of Jamal Khashoggi in order to remain in the good graces of MBS and the Kingdom of Saud. Trump is an immoral coward.
sorta OT but
And, I’ll say again, he was going in to get papers so he could get married. No one can imagine this horror, so sickening.
the ‘he died in two minutes’ - I bet those were a long two minutes for him, poor soul
The AP interview was full of lies, and the focus was unfortunately on Stormy’s horse face. The moron lies and lies and is so glib and went unchallenged by the AP, but the WaPo has done fact checking and well, moron’s full of merde.
Children in cages? The pics were taken during the Obama administration in 2014.
Now President Obama had the same law; he did the same thing. And, in fact, the picture of children living in cages that was taken in 2014 was a picture of President Obama’s administration and the way they handled children.
Part of the Fact Checker’s statement. I’ve been incensed about this litany of lies since I read it.
“The administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama explicitly rejected plans for the systematic separation of immigrant families caught at the border. Although some separations occurred during their terms, experts say these were few and generally in cases where children were suspected to be in danger or not related to their accompanying adults.

Will Dotard be producing his Saudi tax returns, or his US ones?
Is our little country getting in the way of Donald’s business?
Release Trump’s tax returns.
Josh has a piece going over the timeline of Haley’s resignation alongside Khashoggi story. But we shouldn’t forget the Brunson story–no way that’s a coincidence in all this. Haley I don’t know… did she really catch wind of this and want out before all hell broke loose? But Turkey freeing Brunson as all this is going down–that seems like it has to be related. If someone can offer a theory, have at it!
Or as the first order of business on the day the Democratic majority House is sworn in.
We all know that Trump has for lack of a better term a hierarchy of victims. A white woman killed by an undocumented he’ll howl with outrage and create some department within justice to look at what are tragic cases as likely as being struck by lightning.
When it’s the Saudis or Putin, places where he obviously has financial interests he’ll dissemble like Inspector Clouseau.
