Read this one first numbnuts
"Ah, ah, on the one hand my intelligence services are saying to me that he did it, but you know, I had a really tough one-on-one telephone call with the Prince, and I really pressed him and he told me three times very, very, very strongly that he didn’t, so I have to you know, balance that. I can’t say that he did. Maybe, but maybe not. I mean, who really knows? The Saudi government charged five other people and I got to respect that. Plus, this guy wasn’t even a citizen."
How much you wanna bet he says something like the above, post “briefing.”
I love the impression that the CIA is just one of a large group of information sources he has to analyze with his good brain. He’s spent a lifetime fuzzing up the most obvious things this way, being a born and long-practiced bullshitter. Something tells me the conclusion will wind up that the status quo continues so as not to threaten the vast imaginary arms sales and the obviously substantial and very real bribery he’s getting. Man, I live for the day Adam Schiff climbs into the cockpit of the Pain Machine and gets to work.
He will read it and eat the worst parts…
President Donald Trump said that while he had “great confidence” in the U.S. intelligence community, Putin MBS was “extremely strong and powerful in his denial” that Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election he ordered the murder of Khashoggi. When asked to comment on the story in the WaPo Trump said “There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news. The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly” and if Acosta were to ask any questions about the murder he would again pull his press credentials for such an egregious violation of decorum.
Looks like we’re getting a little closer to the truth, but, of course, tRump will muttle talk his way around this.
I hadn’t heard that there were sanctions against the 17 Saudis that participated in the murder. They were just following orders, let’s get to the person that gave the orders.
“the cover-up was one of the worst cover-ups in the history of cover-ups.”
There are others that may be contenders.
“As of this moment we were told that he did not play a role. We’re going to have to find out what they have to say.”
How is it that I know MBS was directly responsible for Khashoggi’s murder, but the President of the United States doesn’t?
Secondly, this is bullshit. No intelligence agency would have told him MBS didn’t play a role. At most, they would have said it was unproven. And even that’s not the case anymore.
That photo makes me sick!!!
Good people on both sides
If he dare send Gulen back to certain death in Turkey, that should result in a unanimous vote to impeach and convict. I don’t think it’ll happen, for example such as when he was thinking about sending Browder and McFaul to Putin, but the fact we’re even discussing it is beyond belief.
There are others that may be contenders.
How lucky we are to live through this, the golden age of cover-ups?
…the top prosecutor in Saudi Arabia announced he will seek the death penalty against five men suspected in the killing.
They’re going to have to look far and wide for good but disposable look-alikes since the Turkish security footage clearly shows who arrived to do the killings.
Yup, but when this is all over and the truth revealed (fingers crossed) his own cover-ups will be determined to be the best worst coverups in history.
Well, he has “a lot of things to consider”. Sure, there’s the truth but top of mind is his perpetual “What benefits me most?” and truth never wins.
Just like in Helsinki when he threw our intelligence agencies under the bus by publically siding with Putin regarding Russian interference in our elections.
That nice Mr. Gulen lying low in the Poconos better watch his back.
So will trump take the word of his cia or believe the Saudis?
You’re kidding, right?
Yuck it up fellas.
