Yeah, I've seen those headlines and wish there was a real and impartial investigation underway to gather all the evidence and get to the truth.
I don't blame Trump for not declaring Saudi Arabia guilty of murder and not cutting off Saudi Arabia at the knees at this moment.
There's a lot at stake in terms of the power balance in the Middle East, and Turkey needs to pony up all the evidence in their hands (if they haven't already).
But, I do blame Trump for acting like a typical criminal defense attorney in the global public realm. It reflects very poorly on the U.S. and sends a terrible and dangerous message to other world leaders, in my opinion.
