Clear now that CIA ‘leak’ yesterday was to force Trump’s hand. For reasons that can’t be good, Trump is now denying US intel on MbS’ involvement in Kashoggi’s murder, and stalling. If he thinks this will blow over, he’s dead wrong. We need to know what *Trump* knew, and when. https://t.co/Fdqk6HrsjU

There are at least three important parts to any major US investigation of the Khashoggi murder and possibly more. But without investigation in those areas there can be no just or adequate U.S. response. https://t.co/Tn50as6GQo

The sourcing of this story is interesting too. Ask yourselves this:

— Does the fact that it came from the intelligence community mean they didn’t trust the White House to share it with us?
— And does the fact that the White House didn’t share it with us mean they were right? https://t.co/uB0SoJoNCu
