What one achieves with a blatant murder cover-up

12-4-18    Trump has said it’s unknowable whether the crown prince was actually behind it – despite the CIA concluding this with “high confidence” – while Pompeo said last week that there was no “direct reporting” implicating him.

     Graham (R-SC) said Tuesday that you’d have to be “willfully blind” to not know Mohammed bS was responsible – a clear rebuke of Trump’s argument that this whole thing resides in some kind of gray area.  Graham was also asked about Pompeo’s comments and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’ comments that there was no “smoking gun.”   The senator said there was indeed a “smoking saw”….

  Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman 

Bob Corker, R-Tenn was about as full-throated, saying, “If the crown prince went in front of a jury, he would be convicted in 30 minutes” – another clear rebuke to Trump’s statement and Pompeo’s and Mattis’ suggestions that this is some kind of unknown.   https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/12/04/analysis-signs-point-to-khashoggi-cover-up/
