"One of the suspects identified by Turkey in the disappearance of the Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi was a frequent companion of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman." What in holy hell does Trump think he is doing here?
2/More on the ridiculous MBS/Trump story
3/There is only one real explanation for what Trump is doing - he has somehow been compromised by the Saudis. "America First" has been his biggest con.
4/Our President is a liar.

Reminder Trump's border plan was rejected by a GOP Senate; Dems offered him $25b for the wall which he turned down; and now he is rejecting Jan/Feb Senate/House debate. He has utterly failed to get his way thru democratic means so he is blowing up our govt instead. It's insane.
2/And why Dems can't give into this kind of petulant authoritarian behavior. If they do so now incentivizes Trump to go around Congress again. Critical now for Dems to reestablish regular order - hearings, bills, analysis, debate. Democracy. How its worked for over 200 years.
3/Trump has already declared fictional natl emergencies around the deficit, trade and the border, invoking emergency powers to go around Congress. His rancid abuse of these powers is now going to have become a major issue for the House Dems. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

1/OK, since he brought it up, let's do a deep dive on why Trump should be fearful of being indicted for what was at the end of the day of a grand conspiracy to break American election laws and cheat his way into the Presidency. A thread.
2/First, people go to jail for what he did, for years. washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…
3/Next, it wasn't just the illegal payments to a porn star and Playboy model. It was also the conspiracy with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton, and the aiding and abetting of the massive Russian operation on his behalf once it was underway. justsecurity.org/42387/collusio…

Democrats have a lot to do now but finding their voice challenging Russia's ongoing influence over Trump, US foreign policy more directly chief among them. Great work here fr Rachel Maddow; but consider blocking US investigation into 2016, pro-Brexit/anti-EU, Syria, etc.
2/Apropos of @maddow's great #TrumpRussia pieces last night, here is a column I wrote before the 2016 election about the alignment AT THAT TIME between Putin's world view and Trump's. usnews.com/opinion/articl… Views which also did not exist "in nature" here in the US then.
3/Want to add one other area of weird pro-Russian Trump orientation - his embrace of fossil fuels, dismissal of clean energy, climate change, etc. Yes, US ONLY NATION ON EARTH not in Paris climate accords, but also Trump is now attacking electric cars? electrek.co/2018/12/18/don…

1. Oh boy...we have reached a precipice. A LOT of people are going to question what's going on here. There are people slamming and people praising @POTUS for his decision about #Khashoggi's alleged murder and the Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's involvement. Read on!
2. I say "alleged" because not one shred of evidence has been presented to the media or to the general public, in any country, that Khashoggi was in fact kidnapped, bound, tortured, murdered, dismembered, dissolved, and disposed of. Not one shred of evidence! With the amount of..
3. ...leaks in today's society, it is damn near impossible that any REAL evidence could be suppressed or hidden from the public. I for one am still not willing to throw in the towel here. I have written repeated threads on this issue and I feel the president's decision only...

1. @Americanlll @Dina1trump @MastersShelby @RealEyeTheSpy @O_IrishT @_ImperatorRex_ @prayingmedic @qanon76 @WeAreOne_Q

Where'd the story on #Khashoggi go? The media narrative on him was nonstop 24/7 for 2 weeks then BAM, his story disappeared as fast as he did. Why? Read on...
2. Folks, this Khashoggi incident has WAY too many suspicious angles to it. You all know I've written multiple pieces on this as events and facts have developed. I still stand by my very first writing, a theme I have carried the whole time. This incident is doing one major thing.
3. From the earliest of campaign speeches, @realDonaldTrump spoke VERY unfavorably of the Saudis. Many times he's said they were responsible for 9/11 and that we invaded the wrong country by going to Iraq, implicating we should've invaded Saudi! He's also said for far too long...

Lindsey Graham: MBS is a "wrecking ball" who had #JamalKhashoggi murdered, he's "toxic" and he's "gotta go."

"This guy is a wrecking ball, he had this guy murdered in a consulate in Turkey, and to expect me to ignore it, I feel used and abused."
A "wrecking ball" aimed by US intelligence given to Prince Mohammad Bin Salman by Jared Kushner to get back at Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal for claiming he bailed Trump out of bankruptcy multiple times. Trump is only too happy to indulge his authoritarian beliefs when convenient.
Sen Rubio on the Saudi arms sales in wake of the murder of #JamalKhashoggi: "I don't care how much money it is. There isn't enough money in the world to purchase back our credibility on human rights and the way nations should conduct themselves"

Turkey has concluded that Jamal #Khashoggi, a prominent journalist from Saudi Arabia, was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul earlier this week by a 15-member Saudi team sent “specifically for the murder" washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
"#Khashoggi visited the consulate to obtain documents related to his upcoming wedding.

The killing, if confirmed, would mark a stunning escalation of Saudi Arabia’s effort to silence dissent, rounding up clerics, business execs & women’s rights advocates"
"The initial assessment of the Turkish police is that Mr. #Khashoggi has been killed at the consulate of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul. We believe that the murder was premeditated and the body was subsequently moved out of the consulate." reuters.com/article/us-sau…
