Questioned at a House of Representatives hearing, Pompeo said he would commit to holding anyone accountable who was found to be responsible, even the most senior officials, a reference to powerful Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist, U.S. resident and critic of the Riyadh government, was killed at a Saudi consulate in Turkey in October. His death fueled simmering discontent in Washington over Saudi Arabia’s human rights record and heavy civilian casualties in Yemen’s civil war, where a Saudi-led coalition is fighting Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

no worries, SaudiArabia will take care of them and bring them to justice, and if the US wants to sanction them also I guess Saudis won’t mind at all.

It's never going to happen. Your dreaming...

Is this a joke? Have you asked Jared if you can make this statement?

Sure he will 😉now we can all stop worrying our pretty little heads and move on to other things. 😶😶

We already know who and Trump wants to give MBS access to nukes.

Why?

Start with Jared Kushner.

Did anyone ask about Khashoggi's 1MDB connections? Oh wait, let me guess.......PROBABLY NOT.

No he is not. He is Oswald Cobbletpot.

Believe it when I see it.

As if Pompeo doesn’t know already that MBS ordered it Get Barr and Rosenstein to attest that there is not enough evidence to convict the suspect who provides the Kushners financing.

But.., but..., you already know that.

Bullshit

It’s probably in the MuellerReport

Call Jared.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am surprised and pleased to hear this. Can't believe our Dictator in Chief signed off on this. Things could get 'testy' with some of his business partners, but hey, let's see where it goes.

I give it 5 days before they start blaming Hillary.

Can he say the same re Palestinian Murderers.

Sure...🙄

Oh, okay. I believe that.

Look out MBS.

Right. I am convinced.

Everybody except MBS and anyone he asked to do it, and Kushner and from whomever he might have received the thumbs up.

He actually means, finding someone other than the crown prince.

Pompeo BS LipService

Is this Pompeo doing a Inspector Clouseau imitation - it isn't difficult to determine who is behind the murder

You recently visited the guy responsible for it. May be that statement would’ve been more appropriate then. What a joke this SecPompeo , he went from respected CIA chief to carrying Trump’s water and making an embarrassment of his career and integrity. Sad!!🤡🤡🤡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I think we know who they are... and where to find them.

What a damn joke. Everyone knows who was behind this except Pompeo!

Pompeo cares more about loving Saudi money than any single Americans life. The Prince ordered the hit & butchering! Crime solved

Republicans and Democrats are in agreement with the intelligence agency on who did this.

This should not even be taken seriously, there is no way this or any other administration would pressure the Saudi Government for Justice in finding the murderer's of Khashoggi, if any were found they would be nothing but scapegoats.

Lmao....is Pompeo is truely that stupid?

Pssst, Mike, It was Bin Salmaan, You know, That Saudi prince, Who you just spent time with, Didn't you know? Seriously?

I also hope SecPompeo commits to finding Nicole Brown’s killer...

Kashoggi was not a journalist or a good person. Ge got himself killed. Not our problem

Are you mental?!?

Yeah. Right.

It should be easy to find Jared, he hangs out in the WH; MBS will be at the other end of his ‘WhatsApp’👍🏽

Color me skeptical 🤨

Gina Haspel says of course MSB was involved. Are you throwing her under the bus just to please Trump. Disgraceful

I will help him out, Go directly to MBS's palace.

This is SO F’d UP!!!

Pink Panther strikes again.

a wee bit credulous

And everyone I'm sure totally believed him 😜

Who cares?

blah blah blah....

That’s funny because he just met with him again MBS Traitor Hypocrite

Just like OJ.

Ask Jared.

Lol

Ok. Kushner at risk?

We believe you Mike. Not.

The murder occurred in October of 2018. It is now March of 2019. No one believes this is a sincere statement. No one.

Looking everywhere!

He was an arms dealer you mean

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.... sure.... I believe him. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha excuse me while I laugh at the absurd claim.

Bullshit.

Just decided to give them a few months head start

B.S.

He needs to put his money where his fat lying mouth is.

The elephant in the room.

Maybe OJ's available, SecPompeo. You can help him look for the real murderers of his ex and that young kid at the same time.

I hope he means that.

Did he go to Jared?
