Withholding the findings of our Intelligence Community’s investigation into Khashoggi’s murder from the congressional body that requested the investigation is an abuse of power and perversion of justice. @POTUS – despite your autocratic dreams this is still America, not SA.

The silence from @HouseGOP on MBS’s connection to the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi has been truly deafening. Their blind obedience to @POTUS isn’t just pathetic sycophancy, it undermines our security in the face of oppressive regimes around the world, and here at home.

.@POTUS falls in love w/KJU after KJU assassinated his brother. Now he’s falling for MBS because MBS assassinated Khashoggi. I refuse to participate in a savage blood money transaction - arms sales must be scrapped & SA must be sanctioned. America can’t condone killing reporters!

Trump thinks because his uncle was an MIT engineering prof 45 yrs ago he has a “natural instinct for science.” That’s like saying my uncle flew planes so I can land this 747 jumbo jet. @POTUS needs to heed MIT’s real climate experts before it’s too late. http://climate-science.mit.edu/news/featured-stories/mit-faculty-working-on-climate-write-to-president-trump …

Asked about his baffling defense of SA & @POTUS says, “here we go again with … you’re guilty until proven innocent…. I just went through that with Justice Kavanaugh.” Where does “lock her up” fit into this? Oh that’s right, that was involving a woman, not an oppressive regime.

Contradicting his claims of $40-50 million in SA investments at his rally, @realDonaldTrump now tweets he has “no financial interests in Saudi Arabia…” This might work for those who take him at his word. For the rest of us, releasing his tax returns would set the record straight

I’m glad to see that @FLOTUS’s anti-bullying initiative has been so successful.https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1052230238867005442 …

First SA claims Khashoggi left the consulate through a back door. Then @POTUS muses a band of rogue killers stormed the consulate. Now Pompeo is thanking SA for a “thorough, transparent & timely investigation.” That’s as much of a fantasy as Trump’s $110 billion arms sales claim.

Saddened to hear of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's passing - one of the founding fathers of personal computers whose legacy will live on for generations. The world would be a better place if we all lived by his motto, “If it has the potential to do good, then we should do it.”

Saudia Arabia carried out 48 beheadings by sword in the FIRST FOUR MONTHS of this year alone & its roots in the Sept. 11th attacks run deep, yet @POTUS is groveling to kiss MBS’s rings. Clearly his bromance w/despots and dictators isn’t limited to Putin and Kim Jong Un.

There’s a lot we don’t know, but what we do know clearly points to assassination, including Khashoggi being interrogated over six hours by a 15 member hit squad linked to MBS and the royal family.

.@POTUS made an unholy alliance with Saudi Arabia and now is tripping over himself to defend the blood curdling killing and dismemberment of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi—using a bone saw, I may add.

It’s #MeTooOneYearLater & what a year it’s been, from news of @POTUS paying off women he had affairs w/soon after the birth of his son, to mocking Dr. Blasey Ford’s pain & heart-breaking testimony. That’s why this is the year women get the last laugh & grab ‘em by the midterms!

.@POTUS continues to ignore, & in the process undermine, what his Intelligence Community is saying in favor of assurances from Saudi Arabia. This isn’t just a problem for the injustice of Khashoggi’s slaying. POTUS is siding with a foreign entity on a world security matter!
