I would also like to hear a logical explanation as to why Assad has repeatedly risked using chemical weapons

Duh -- because it is a lot easier to wipe your enemies that way and, with Russia's help, he has gotten away with it before.

He's launched 50 chemical weapons attacks. Yes, he's a brutal dictator and not a nice guy.

In that case, since Assad is a war criminal, there is no reason that Trump cannot the release the evidence.

After all, Trump will have to release the evidence at Assad’s International Criminal Court trial.

When Trump releases the evidence, I’ll read it, and make up my own mind.
