Trump defends Mohammed bin Salman over killing of Jamal Khashoggi, claiming Saudi crown prince 'knew nothing about it' and 'things happen'
An ABC reporter then addresses the elephant in the room, asking whether why Americans should trust bin Salman given that US intelligence concluded that he orchestrated the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Trump blasts ABC News as fake news, before contradicting US intelligence on the Saudi crown prince’s role in Khashoggi death:
"You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman [Khashoggi] that you’re talking about. Whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen. But he [bin Salman] knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that. You don’t have to embarrass our guest by asking something like that."
As I noted earlier, US intelligence concluded in 2021 that bin Salman approved the capture or killing of Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
The crown prince denied ordering the operation but acknowledged responsibility as the kingdom’s de facto ruler.
Here’s our report on that from the time:

51 members of the intelligence community signed a letter questioning the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop, and suggesting that it was "Russian disinformation."
This was part of a disinformation campaign organized by people on Biden's team. This disinformation was loudly and repeatedly promulgated by the MSM. Many people feel the release of this letter leading up to the 2020 election may have swung the election in favor of Biden.
That intelligence community?
That's the one in which you repose such blind faith?

Translation, his nibs thinks it's normal for people the regime doesn't like, to meet an untimely end.

God forbid a mobster who orders a hit should be embarrassed.

As far as I know MSB has never been charged much less convicted of murdering kashoggi or participating in his murder.
Further, all we know is the gossip rumor and innuendo shared by intelligence agencies which are historically untrustworthy and routinely engage in psyops if the American people for political purposes as they did with the Hunter Biden laptop story
Bottom line, in the USA, a person is presumed innocent of a crime until proved guilty in a court of law.
I believe in Rule of Law but a lot of ProGlibs evidently don't. No surprise there.

Neither has Putin been charged, much less convicted of Alexi Navalny’s death.
And of course, during Hitler’s lifetime, no German court accused or prosecuted him for millions of death.
I wonder why?

That reminds me. I'm going to slightly modify my proposal to retire the U.S. debt.
Everytime a ProGlib says the word "Nazi," "Hitler," or some variation on either, they have to put a quarter in the jar.
We'll get the debt retired in 3, maybe 4 months, tops.
