This is criminally stupid on the part of these counties, if, in fact, it was from the top. also quite frankly, its a betrayal of donald trump. trump put his neck on the line for mbs. when he came into office, his first trip was to saudi arabia. he endorsed mbs, made saudi arabia a centerpiece of our policy, turning away the obama policy of shoring up our alliances, and this is how he gets repaid? by having these counties assassinate, murder, and american permanent resident? my fellow communist a...

I think in many ways on the goals they had a lot of the same goals where jamal khashoggi disagreed with the crowned prince was about the process. and khashoggi said you have to have a bottom up process. there has to be discussion and contention and you have to have disagreements and that will get you to the right place. and in his view, the crowned prince said i will decide what we will do and everybody will too it and there wasnt a difference, i think more than about 10% on the destination. the...

That president trump decided to send the secretary of state who i would remind everyone is a former director of the cia and has access to all kinds of information to see the king and to see mbs. because he knows a lot about this that i believe has not been revealed and when he meets them by thai and has a discussion about what has happened, i think theyre going to be forthcoming with him. >> harris: it is an excellent point. a former cia director and thats who they are sitting across from no dou...

Administration is thinking of sanctions that, oh, you could just sanction those guys. theyre kind of throwaway. and i dont see how that actually could work. for example, on the sanctions front -- >> you worked at treasury. >> right. and i remember, you know, if i remember there now, and i know this is probably what theyre doing, theyre probably looking at potential targets that could have the most effective and credible response to some kind of sanctions action. and its not going to be on some t...

We have to impose a measure of accountability, wolf. not just because an ally cant go around murdering journalists, but this is the tail end of a series of actions that mohamed and saudis have taken. yemen and qatar and complete with hostage video of the lebanese prime minister and a degree of oppression at home that led people to believe that mbs is a reformer. hes is an authoritarian who might be capable of reform as long as it doesnt come at the expense of the openness. >> he is the crown pri...
