Trump Compromises Democracy, Giving Saudis Pass

Here are the facts. The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia ordered the hit on Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi citizen whose residence was in the US and whose employer was The Washington Post. His goon team lured the journalist into the Saudi consulate in Turkey where they beat and tortured him and then dismembered his body for disposal.

The act is embarrassing to Trump because he put all of his foreign policy eggs in the Saudi basket. As significant, his sons and the Trump family make a lot of money from deals with Saudis and the Russians too. That is an Emoluments Clause violation of the US Constitution that is not being prosecuted by Congress because they are going along.

Capitalism is on trial along with Donald Trump because they are not patriotic and allegiant to the US Constitution and the rule of law. America's only recourse is to impeach, purge, and prosecute the Trump regime.

As gruesome details of Jamal Khashoggi’s alleged killing and dismemberment at the hands of Saudi operatives trickled into the public domain this week, calls sounded in capitals around the globe for immediate retaliation to the apparent human rights atrocity."
