Square your support for the US giving Gulen political asylum away from Erdogan so he isnt killed with Khashoggi living here as a dissident, traveling to the Saudi consulate for papers, and then being brutally and brazenly murdered on the orders of Saudi leadership.

I don’t see how you can square the two. Either we harbor dissidents and give a shite about free speech or we don’t. Same thing with Russian journalists poisoned in foreign capitals.

We can’t give Gulen to Erdogan, I’ve stated this but we can’t turn our backs on our economic and geopolitical interest over the killing of a journalist.

We didn't have anything to do with Kasoggi. I am not sure how you compare the two. If we had handed over Kasoggi or took direct action, then yeah maybe the comparison is valid

It's not like we handed the guy over to be tortured and killed. He was abducted doing a fairly risky play on foreign soil.

OK, so what extent are you willing to go to in order to achieve this ideologically pure status?
