ahead of time. I do think that Turkish leaks could be a lie with political motives. At the same time, they could be true. We are going to have a hard time getting at the real truth, but i think that it will eventually become clear. It seems prudent to let all sides make their case first instead of acting emotionally and presuming guilt. Once again, there is a push by the media to presume guilt of their perceived adversaries.
The NYT again presents "Fake News" with a headline saying that Trump is "jumping to Saudi Arabia's defense" when in fact he and Pompeo are saying that we must always presume innocence until evidence shows otherwise. This is a basic tenant of all western civilizations. It is also a prudent decision by a good leader. Further, it does NOT mean that Trump will back SAafter the information is all collected. He is only "jumping to their defense" int that he supports their right to presumed innocence until proven otherwise.
