The report released in Biden's term by Biden appointed DNI Haines?

Still... who cares? There's no MBS confession contained within.

Sorry, Bass. I hadn't seen your answer.

It's just humorous to see the flying monkeys descend to say that President Trump wasn't lying.

I just thought it was a tough position for the President. I think he handled it well by saying "you shouldn't embarass our guest like that." The adding of "this gentleman knew nothing about" goes against everything I have read about it...but maybe necessary for diplomacy.

Was that before or after Donald commended the prince on his stellar human rights record?

The question is should the President have lied about that?


Did MBS confess or something? I missed that...

Onoz! A President said some diplomatic mumbo jumbo in a joint appearance with a third world shithole.

Has Maduro confessed to being a drug lord?

The report was written in 2018 under Trump. Biden released the declassified summery.

Did you read the four page report that was linked? Concerning Kashoggi/MBS? I'm not debating Maduro in this thread. Stay focused.

It is completely an if then maybe probably level of confidence- no evidence, just reasonable supposition. Would never get a person convicted.

Nothing about them is unequivocal.
They worked against a legally elected by the people sitting President. Joe many others? JFK? Nixon?
Frick them. Scatter them into the wind.

The summary isn't exactly a slam dunk on MBS guilt. Did you read it?

I’ve assumed that MBS had Kashoggi killed as he was allegedly part of financing the attempt on MBS’ life that coincided with the Vegas mass shooting.

1 year later. To the day. Dead Kashoggi.

Do Presidents have some duty to tell the truth to the country when it comes to diplomacy and international relations?

You don’t really believe that.

Or are you literally retarded?

Right...but not just any Saudi soil...a facility controlled by the Royal family. Which lends credence to the MSB had him killed reporting.

Probably so... but it isn't proven, MBS hasn't confessed, in fact he denies it. What is Trump supposed to do here, exactly?

All in all, a Saudi citizen met his fate on Saudi soil and not by American cause- it is simply not our problem.

The reporter shouldn’t have asked such an outrageous and out of line question.
Not sure if satire but there are certain unwritten rules about foreign dignitaries in these situations. Unfortunately the TDS in the media don’t care.

Generally, I don't think they should actively lie. This might have been one of those occasions because it was so obvious that President Trump was lying out of politeness.
