Question for Vin. What would you do?
Thanks for a genuine dialogue, Joe.
Of course that's way above my pay grade.
I know there are experts in the State Department, the CIA, and the Military who could provide a
thoughtful and effective response.
I DO know what I WOULD NOT do, and that is . . .
- I would NOT take the lame Saudi excuse at face value and tell the world "I believe you." (Like he did with Putin.)
- I would NOT use back channels to spread the rumor that Khashoggi was a terrorist anyway (and therefore DESERVED to die.)
- I would NOT go on the campaign trail and mock the reporter who was a victim of violence at the hands of Gianforte.
- I would NOT ignore the Daily Intelligence Briefings that would actually shed light on the situation.
- I would NOT openly declare that I'm in it for the money (military purchases) which Trump did, ignoring the murder altogether.
That's just low class.
