"Trump told reporters Friday the Saudi explanation was credible, but US officials said he has privately grimaced that his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s close relationship w/ the crown prince has become a liability + left the White House w/ no good options".https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/white-house-privately-doubts-saudi-account-of-journalists-death/2018/10/20/4c459c07-eceb-4600-91ea-95228128e7ec_story.html …

"In the interview, Trump defended Kushner as doing a 'very good job' but (added) ...“They’re two young guys. Jared doesn’t know him well or anything. They are just two young people. They are the same age.

WPost: "Trump on Saturday denied that any U.S. officials have heard audio, seen video or read any transcripts from the Turks... But CIA officials have listened to an audio recording that Turkish officials say proves the journalist was killed and dismembered by the Saudi team"...
-
"...according to people familiar with the matter. If verified, the recording would make it difficult for the US to accept the Saudi version that Khashoggi’s death was effectively an accident. Officials agreed to speak for this article on the condition of anonymity"...
-
"Trump showed an interest in obtaining the recordings but said they have been out of reach so far. 'I’ve heard all about the videos or the tapes. Nobody would get it faster than me. Nobody has been able to show it to me', he (Trump) said".
-
"One US official expressed dismay that Kushner’s close relationship with the crown prince was not enough to provide guardrails against the killing + now leaves the admin vulnerable to criticism that the United States is beholden to the Saudis"...

If there would have been fighting within the saudiarabian consulate and finally a person had passed away, at least there must be a dead body. Where is it? The entire issue is ridiculous.

Trump & Salaman are @ the drawing board right now, reworking the storyboard to make it all fit. Maybe they will be more creative in their next attempt to cover-up the obvious.

It’s incredible that a President of the USA is quick to find credibility in a Prince’s story - as if just waiting to say it, no matter what - when most of us find no credibility in the Kingdom’s story. Wonder how other decisions of the State are made!

When Trump says, “Obviously, there’s been deception and there’s been lies", is he talking about himself or Saudi Arabia?

Demand Saudi's show the consulate interior security tapes. They claim that they only provide "live feed" but that is so ridiculous as it would make them utterly pointless. They have tape of every second Khashoggi was there. Denying so is because it shows something very different.

What an embarrassment. How do any of his followers keep track of his positions? He is always all over the place. He contradicts himself constantly. That isn't strong leadership. It's cowardice. Along with lying, it's how he avoids accountability for his positions.
