Trump: "rogue killers" might have killed Khashoggi

Speaking outside White House, Trump again goes out of his way to mention Khashoggi's immigration status

"I just spoke w/king of Saudi Arabia, who denies any knowledge of what took place with regard to, as he said, his Saudi Arabia citizen...these might have been rogue killers"

Kusher is an accessory to murder, that is one of many reasons drumpf is lying about this. He knows exactly who did it and why and that he's 100% complicit and totally approved of the murder of someone who worked for the WaPo. Bet your bottom $$ he's threatened Turkey with severe retaliation if they release the tapes to the public, and that he hasn't requested tapes for us because he doesn't want it confirmed to anyone in USA not already part of the plot that he and his sil are accessories to murder as payback for bribes and loans.

This was an act of war plain and simple. But Trump is more concerned with that fucking weapons deal than facts.

14. Saudi Arabia's Puppet

So, not only is he Russia's puppet he is also Saudi Arabia's puppet. This seems like an example of why you should not elect someone with business ties to two rogue regimes to be President of your country.

Now, it's "rogue elements" with proper documents to gain them entry to a Saudi Consulate. The Consulate, of course, just happened to have on hand the equipment to take apart a body to the point that what's left of it can be transported out of the consulate without anyone noticing. Right?

That's not a consulate they're describing, it's a sieve.

I hate to sound like a homicide cop, but I think the Saudis should come clean about what they did. They'll all feel much better having told the truth, which will come out anyway, sooner or later. The Turks already have the audio. Maybe they have the video, too, and just don't want the Saudis to know to what extent they have wired their facility. (Hey, for all I know, the CIA has a video, too, and doesn't dare let on).

Trump really is everything the RW blamed Obama of being. Here Trump makes excuses for foreign powers. Why? because they bribe him and his family with $$$.
