Blumenthal on Khashoggi Confirmation: ‘The Saudis Very Clearly Seem To Be Buying Time and Buying Cover’

EXCERPT: 

BLUMENTHAL: "The Saudis very clearly seem to be buying time and buying cover, but this action raises more questions than it answers, and there’s no way the world will wait for 30 days for a Saudi investigation to be done. There has to be an international investigation. It has to be done with legitimate and credible means involving the United States, and it has to use those tapes, the surveillance that evidently the Turks have done that show, in fact, torture, cutting of fingers, the idea that there was some botched interrogation or rogue killers or a fistfight that’s responsible for the absolutely gruesome, brutal death of this American journalist, even though he’s not an American citizen, a resident of the United States, is absolutely unacceptable."
