stand there and say nothing because all these autocrats around the world will take only one lesson from this, which is keep ongoing. kill whoever you want to kill. dissidents around the world need to fear he was a u.s. resident. i want to read you a couple of tweets. one from senator chris murphy from connecticut. to evelyn s point, if we do nothing that would be one thing. we seem to be setting up the argument that the saudis are going to use here. chris murphy of connecticut tweeted been hearing the ridiculous rogue killers theory was where the saudis would go with this. absolutely extraordinary they were able to enlist the president of the united states as their pr agent to float it. rodney, you and i talked the other day, and you were worried that the u.s. is complicit with some of these regimes like saudi arabia. this is pretty serious, that we seem to be in lock step with what they re messaging about a dead columnist is going to be.

going to find out the truth. the folks going in there, the turkish forensic scientists, are going to find very little by way of any evidence, is my guess. i think i want to get your reaction. president trump this morning floated the idea that maybe it was some rogue operators, the king denies it. senator chris murphy, a democrat of connecticut, obviously very critical of president trump, on the foreign relations committee tweeted in response, quote, been hearing the ridiculous rogue killers theory was where the saudis would go with this. absolutely extraordinary. they were able to enlist the president of the united states as their pr agent to float it. do you agree? listen, this whole idea that this was an accident is bogus. accidents don t require planning. we know that jamal went to the consulate. he was told to return at a certain date. when people go into interrogation, they usually don t bring bone saws to dispose of a body. that requires planning. this was all reported by

i don t want to get into his mind, but it sound today me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. who knows. we re going to try getting to the bottom of it very soon. but his was a flat denial. only today president trump was asked about the reports of the new saudi narrative. let s watch. i heard that report, but nobody knows it is an official report. so far the rumor, rumor report coming out. it s not a rumor. democrat chris murphy, senate from up there, tweeted, been hearing the ridiculous rogue killers theory was where the saudis would go with this. absolutely extraordinary they were able to enlist the president of the united states as their p.r. agent to float this. earlier today, turkish investigators were finally granted access to the consulate in istanbul to begin their joint investigation with the saudis. after the cleaners were seen entering the consulate, there we go, to clean up whatever mess there was, it s been over a week since jamal khashoggi went into
