US sanctions on Khashoggi killers 'weeks away'

[left-of-center2012]

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said it may take "a handful more weeks" before Washington has enough evidence to impose sanctions on individuals responsible for the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

"We're continuing to understand the fact pattern," Pompeo said on Thursday during an interview.

"It'll take us probably a handful more weeks before we have enough evidence to actually put those sanctions in place" he said, adding ... "not only do we have important commercial relationships, but important strategic relationships, national security relationships with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and we intend to make sure that those relationships remain intact".

"We value our strategic relationship with the United States and hope to sustain it. We hope the United States reciprocates in kind," said Prince Turki, a royal family member.

1. In other words,

we will do nothing. Trump probably approved it when they told him what they were about to do.

2. IMO, Trump has too many financial ties to the Saudis making the probability

of him ever enforcing sanctions against them very unlikely.

5. Congressman Swalwell said that if we win the House one of the first

things the Dems will do is get a copy of his taxes and see who he is compromised with financially and how it has been effecting his policies and decisions. I wonder how they can nail Kushner for his role in this though?
