1. Since, like a coward, @seanmdav blocks my tweet, please tweet to him. His ignorant, uneducated attack on Jamal Khashoggi is the kind of garbage the "say anything to win" crowd does. He is so uninformed that he spews lies while claiming that people are hiding the truth....
2...that @seanmdav feels justified in slandering the name of a brave man who has been slaughtered simply because it feeds into a poisonous GOP narrative kowtowing to the Saudis - and based on crap he found online - is beyond despicable. Now let's deal with truth...
3...in the late 1980s, like any good journalist, Khashoggi saw a story in the Bin Laden fighters joining the American-supported mujahideen fighting against the Russian. At that point, he was working with both Saudi AND American intelligence. Like MANY of our human intelligence..
4. 4...resources, Khashoggi gathered information from across groups. Will @seanmdav and @DonaldJTrumpJr now start attacking EVERYONE of our intelligence assets from the 1980s? Or is it just reserved for people who have been cut to piece by Trump's friends? Next thing....
5...working on behalf of the Said Royal Family, Khashoggi once again reached out to bin Laden in the early 1990s. At that point, the split between bin Laden and the Royal family was extreme. Through Khashoggi, they attempted to bring bin Laden back under control. Khashoggi also..
6...delivered a message trying to persuade bin Laden to abandon violence as part of his strategy. Khashoggi did not see bin Laden since then. In fact, American reporters visited bin Laden after that BECAUSE HE WAS NEWSWORTHY. Are idiots of the mind that we should not try to...
7...deal with and undercut potential threats, instead just sitting around so idiots who don't know how to read a book (read a BOOK for god's sake, @DonaldJTrumpJr before joining in on tearing down a dead man who has done more to protect this nation than you ever thought to do)...
8...can slander them after their murder because its politically convenient? I despise when people like Sean throw out absolute factual garbage, and then scream "Why isn't the media covering this?" Because it is garbage, Sean. It is you spewing ignorant crap you pull of twitter...
9....smugly proclaiming your intelligence because you are too lazy to actually read something before smiling was you defame a dead man who worked to stop violence. This was the scummiest thing I have seen in a long time. Apologize Sean. Or admit: You don't care what's true.
