@realDonaldTrump Is this your message to tell Stone that you will pardon him if he upholds his promise? I believe this could be used in Mueller's case for Obstruction of Justice.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Today at the border, the US fired tear gas into Mexico at women and children who are seeking asylum. There were literally infants and toddlers affected by these chemicals.

Trump calls this, “Making America Great”.

I call it torturing innocent babies and children.

Lindsey Graham said that as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he will investigate Hillary Clinton's use of private emails

Dear @LindseyGrahamSC, I also assume you will be launching a full investigation into Ivanka Trump's use of private emails as well

Can you confirm?

The CIA is showing that it is willing to take on Trump— and MBS.

CIA allegedly had tape of MBS giving instructions to silence Jamal #khashoggi.

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

This is big:

Turkish paper: “CIA director Gina Haspel signaled to Turkish officials last month that the agency had a recording of a call in which Saudi Arabia's crown prince gave instructions to "silence" Saudi journalist Jamal #Khashoggi.”

@kylegriffin1 Are you kidding me? He's such an embarrassing joke!

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Reporter: Who should be held accountable for [Jamal Khashoggi's murder]?

Trump: Maybe the world should be held accountable because the world is a vicious place. The world is a very vicious place. (via CBS)

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

I’m gonna reiterate this again. Any financial dealings between Trump, Kushner, and Mohammed Bin Salman must come to light, and soon.

We need to investigate why MBS is getting unconditional loyalty and support from Trump. #khashoggi

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Stop saying that Trump tweeting about 'Adam Schitt' was just a typo.

Try typing "Schitt" into Twitter from your iPhone.
Autocorrect doesn't let you do it unless you manually override it.

It wasn't a typo.

President Trump is just a "schitthead"

[Matthew Hilk @MatthewHilk]

@washingtonpost publisher - and long-time top Republican - Fred Ryan in op-ed: "A clear and dangerous message has been sent to tyrants around the world: Flash enough money in front of the president of the United States, and you can literally get away with murder."

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

When the President:

Denigrates the independence of the judiciary,

Attempts to have Justice Dept investigate his rivals,

Calls the press an “enemy of the people”

That’s what attacks on the rule of law look like.

When Congress fights back:

That is what democracy looks like.

[Ghada Oueiss غادة عويس @ghadaoueiss]

Whatever opinions Khashoggi had, does it justify what the Saudi regime did to him? If so, what would be the difference between that regime and terrorists?
What’s the difference between him as “Bin Laden pal” and Trump as “MisterBoneSaw pal”? @JordanSchachtel

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard today slammed President Trump, saying that he is "being Saudi Arabia's bitch".

I'll take this a step further...

He IS Saudi Arabia's bitch...

... and Putin's bitch, and Kim Jong Un's bitch, and very very soon will be Robert Mueller's bitch!

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

After Khashoggi's killing, Trump sent a clear signal: With enough money, you can get away with murder, The Post's publisher writes https://t.co/69m2jTgOs3

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

@realDonaldTrump You don’t know our citizens. Our citizens want you to punish Saudi Arabia.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @realDonaldTrump: FYI below.

Also, Canadians didn't attack America on 9/11, nor did they murder a US resident in their embassy, cut him up into pieces, and then lied to you and the American people about the murder.

Why do you grovel before Saudi Arabia?

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

@krassenstein @realDonaldTrump And @BarackObama spent the week at a food shelter handing out food.

[Tony Posnanski @tonyposnanski]

Ivanka Trump isn’t dumb...

She is a bad person. Just like every other Trump.

Also, Saudi Arabia has sought to boost oil prices by promising to pump fewer barrels in December. A week ago, it backed a proposal for OPEC nations to cut production by one million barrels per day.

[CBC News Alerts @CBCAlerts]

Donald Trump has just tweeted a thank you to Saudi Arabia for current low oil prices, which he likens to 'a big Tax Cut for America and the World!' In fact, Canada is the US's biggest supplier of imported oil at 40%, compared to only 11% from Saudi Arabia.
