1. Confront Putin about Russia’s role in election interference in US & allied countries. 2. Demand they halt cyber-attacks on our democracy & critical infrastructure, or face staunch sanctions. 3. Promptly extradite Russian agents indicted by DOJ for role in elections meddling.

The Saudis are grasping for a consistent narrative — their contradictions defy common sense. This was a premeditated plan to assassinate Khashoggi, suppress free speech & conceal the Crown Prince’s potential culpability in the murder.

American intelligence officials should review Turkish surveillance images, security footage, audio recordings & all evidence related to the Khashoggi murder in support of an international investigation.

The findings—stomach-turning—show a meticulously planned, savage murder. Without doubt or delay, a full immediate international investigation is now needed to bring all Saudis to justice, at the highest levels, not just 18 fall guys.

No way now to tolerate Saudi whitewash or cover up. All culpable, including the Crown Prince, should be held accountable. Trump Administration & Congress must speak with a strong & steadfast bipartisan voice demanding a full immediate investigation.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/turkeys-president-to-deliver-speech-expected-to-describe-how-khashoggi-was-killed/2018/10/22/4098c300-d60c-11e8-8384-bcc5492fef49_story.html …

Saudi Arabia’s censorship & repression cannot be allowed to silence the truth. I’m calling on Facebook, Google, Reddit, & Twitter to investigate the Psy-Group & Saudi disinformation. https://www.blumenthal.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Twitter-Saudi%20Letter-RB.pdf …

In August 2016, Joel Zamel & a representative of the Saudi Prince offered to support the Trump Campaign with fake accounts to spread inflammatory content in an effort to manipulate voters. No one has explained the $2 million Zamel reportedly received 4 months later.

Saudi Arabia’s use of misinformation & botnets to cover up Khashoggi’s murder is frighteningly reminiscent of the assistance it offered the Trump Campaign.

Sad day for America—a seeming sell out & business as usual in Mnuchin meeting with suspect Saudi Crown Prince. Apparent seal of approval before the facts are known about MBS’s complicity in Khashoggi murder. Are we now just a pawn in Saudi propaganda?https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/10/22/mnuchin-meets-with-saudi-crown-prince-mohammed-bin-salman-despite-outcry-over-governments-role-journalists-death/ …

Further proof— 2 weeks before Americans head to the polls—Russia & other foreign gov'ts will continue to use social media to sow political discord in 2018, 2020, & beyond. Serious action must be taken to protect our democratic institutions from attack.

#ICYMI: Russia election interference is not a thing of the past, a witch hunt, or a hoax. Last week DOJ charged a Russian woman, tied to Putin-backed oligarchs, with creating 1,000s of social media accounts to manipulate voters in the 2018 midterms.https://www.politico.com/story/2018/10/19/first-criminal-case-filed-over-russian-interference-in-2018-midterms-916787 …Show this threadThanks.

Putting the Crown Prince in charge of cleaning house in Saudi intelligence agency puts the lead criminal in charge. U.S. must make sure the facts are uncovered & Crown Prince & all responsible are held accountable.

Expelling Saudi Ambassador, as
@SenatorDurbin suggested, is a good beginning—a first step that must be followed by more: No arms sales, refueling & other military support. Other steps—including against top Saudi rulers—should be determined by a full international investigation.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Mounting bipartisan consensus—American cannot be silent or inactive given Saudi criminality. Trump administration must heed strong voices on both sides of the aisle in Congress.
