Greg Leichty Letter to McConnell re: Khashoggi Assassination

Senator McConnell,
The carnage left in the wake of our so-called foreign policy with respect to Saudi Arabia is unacceptable.
SA bombs Yemeni children and Pompeo certifies that they are improving their record. They are not improving their record, but not doing the certification endangers arms sales. So he overrides the objections of State Department subordinates.
The Crown Prince orders a team of assassins to lure Jamal Khashoggi to a consulate. There he is tortured, murdered and his corpse is cut up with a bone saw. Now POTUS says "I will never cut off arms sales because that hurts our commerce."
Jared Kushner is so thick with the Crown Prince that Saudi agents crow that they own him. The Trump family itself has so many conflicts of interest in this it is difficult to detail them all. Yesterday POTUS described relations with Saudi Arabia as being "very good". First degree murder of a U.S. based journalist seems to be only a minor matter where these relations are concerned.
Trump is complicit in this crime. You will be complicit in this too, if you don't quickly stake out an honorable position on this.
