Page 555 - Killers News Today

Today, some bright, shiny objects into the news cycle that maybe aimed at distracting the public from whats on down in turkey, but that can be summed up in one word. and that is horse face. secretary of state mike pompeo appeared to be all smiles as he met with saudi arabias crown prince, muhammad bin salman. just as grim details were surfacing in the apparent murder of journalist jamal khashoggi, who was dismembered by his killers. president trump tweeted he discussed the investigation, saying ...

Is inept and doesnt know what happened. did he not know what happened? did he condone it and in the two weeks it happened didnt know the answer and didnt get another briefing, or he just doesnt care and thinks the world will roll over in this respect, and for all those reasons, don, its implausible. >> one more question since were on this. if they are prepare thing report, does that mean there is concrete evidence somewhere or would they ever just out right admit that he was killed? >> i think t...

New explanation? >> no, i dont believe it but i think its an easy out for the saudis and president. well let him go forward with this arms deal. i think this is actually a terrible message in the middle east. this may sound extreme but jihadist talk about this all the time. all the u.s. and west cares about is saudi money and saudi oil. we talk about the rule of law. we talk about holding people accountable in justice, and this, you know, they will get a pass. i guarantee you they will be blamed...

President said about rogue killers. that was a change. don, what about our intelligence in why are we relying on the saudis or turks? we have significant intelligence assets, and before the president got on the phone this morning, typically you would have an intelligence briefing laying out what we actually know to be true. >> talk to us about that. what about our intelligence? >> our intelligence on saudi arabia is awful, don, frankly. we dont know what goes on in the royal family. we dont have...

Mike pompeo is meeting with saudi arabias crown prince in riyadh. these are pictures from earlier of him meeting with the king. sources they will cnn that the saudi government is prepared to admit that journalist jamal khashoggi was killed, but they will say it was during an interrogation gone wrong inside their consulate in istanbul. thats very different from their denials from two weeks ago. world leaders are now demanding answers. president trump seems to be giving cover for the kingdom, sugg...

Regime and i have little doubt that the united states, at least the trump administration, would do everything it can to protect the saudis. in my view, we have got to rethink our arms deals, the sale of huge amounts of weapons to saudi arabia. i think if, in fact, it turns out what i believe to be true is that khashoggi was killed by the saudis, it requires some sanctions and it requires a fundamental rethinking of u.s./saudi relations. >> the president has up until now given the saudis obviousl...

Sales to saudi arabia. in fact, they have already been put on hold by a democratic senator, ranking senator on the committee. they could also punish saudi officials under the global magnitsky act, originally intended for russia. it could impose financial curbs, travel curbs, and the senate can do that without the president. >> jim sciutto, josh campbell, thank you very much. joining us, jim himes of connecticut, a member of the house intelligence committee. thank you so much for joining us. >>...

Turkish authorities say they know what happened. 15 saudi men were connected to jamal khashoggis disappearance and possible murder. some appear to have high level connections in the saudi government. tonight if our sources are accurate the saudi government could be on the verge of changing its story in a very big way. a lot to watch for tonight and a short time ago the president was asked about the very latest reporting. jim acosta is at the white house. what did the president say? >> reporter: ...

>> and hes made it more embarrassing by floating up new theories about rogue killers. it almost sounds like hes learning about this information as the rest of the american public is even though hes the head of the executive branch. he has always intelligence assets at his disposal. it sounds like he knows nothing more than a week after this event happened. it sounds like hes learning about this through the newspapers and media like the rest of us. that does not make him seem like the commander i...

Delivered a message about human rights. >> we appreciate that because it is hard to tell. >> i dont think it is, not at all. >> then explain why the president accepts the denial and say maybe it was regular killers. >> i think the great thing is president did is he called the king. whats happening with the trump administration -- you have to admit, with your reporting you are missing one huge piece. when the president went to saudi arabia on his first foreign trip, we went overseas and on saudi ...
