So Saudi Arabia is just like every other country in the region except they have the most wealth. Trump probably sees them as the lessor of two evils (Iran) to have the most control in the region. Let them keep killing each other but I’d prefer we stay out of it, including canceling the arms deals. Let them kill each other with Russian or Chinese weapons

Angry Mattis and Pompeo face bipartisan pressure following Khashoggi briefing

To be clear, these senators aren’t just accusing the administration of missing the point on Khashoggi; they’re saying they feel misled and that the administration has obscured the truth. […]


Questioning Trump is not unprecedented for Republicans in Congress; the fact that they are going there on Pompeo and even Mattis, who is perhaps the most bipartisan figure in the administration, shows the severe degree of concern about the lack of consequences. These senators are serving notice that they won’t back down without a fight – a fight that could tar both Pompeo’s and Mattis’s legacies.
No one who agrees to be associated with Trump comes away unscathed.

Pompeo and Mattis are just two more LYING Trump BUTT-KISSERS!

Mattis and Pompeo face bipartisan pressure ...

They had their marching orders: deceive the Senate and the American people.

The Republican senators should be furious. They know it's OK for Trump to mislead his Trumpie followers, understandably ... but it is NOT OK to lie to themselves.

This could be the camel's nose under the tent. If the Pentagon and the State Department are willing to deliberately lie to the congress at the behest of the president, what else would they be willing to do to congress for him? How far would they go?

Could it be that some are saying the handwriting on the wall?

Default Jared Kushner Gave Saudi Crown Prince Advice After Khashoggi Slaying

Jared Kushner Gave Saudi Crown Prince Advice After Khashoggi Slaying: NY Times
December 9, 2018

Quote:
Kushner “offered the crown prince advice about how to weather the storm” following the journalist’s death, the Times said, citing a Saudi source.
Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, flouted White House protocol by having private, informal conversations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — both before and after the widely publicized killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to a Saturday report in The New York Times.
