Cotton backs Biden on shielding Saudi leader from Khashoggi lawsuit
Breitbart ^ | 11/20/2022 | ZACH SCHONFELD

Posted on 11/20/2022 5:49:19 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Sunday voiced agreement with the Biden administration’s decision to grant sovereign immunity to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, shielding the autocrat from a lawsuit over the 2018 killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

“What the administration has touted this week in granting sovereign immunity to Mohammed bin Salman is in keeping with the practice of custom of lawsuits involving foreign heads of state,” Cotton told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream. “It would have been a major break if those customs did not grant that kind of immunity.”

Why would Cotton even have a say in it?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. His vote is for which way the wind blows. He has a taste for Washington and is just now reaping the benefits.

I used to like Cotton but after his support for the Turtle I can only surmise that the leftist have something they are holding over him.

Everyone, republican or demoncrat, gets taken in by the swamp, the invisible permanent US government. That is why they went after Trump, he didn’t conform. Stop spending money, stop base line budgeting. We are on the road to destruction and everyone happily conforms because they have no testicles.

We have a pretty good idea what the payoff to “the Big Guy” was. How much was Cotton asking for?

They hope to spend with him for another six years.

So they want to protect the Saudis from killing a Saudi citizen? Well, doesn’t sound like it’s our concern, plus it didn’t occur in the United States in the first place. While I have lots of other reasons to find any relations with the Saudi’s objectionable, I’m not sure this is a point involve ourselves with.

Gotta wonder at this point.

They should be talking about Biden’s criminal endeavors and his Dementia - nothing else.

The Saudi Government killed a Saudi Citizen, on Saudi Soil (embassy), in Turkey. There is no dispute for a US Court to resolve. Should Saudi Arabia allow the family of the 16 year old US Citizen that Barack Obama killed with a missile strike, in Yemen, to sue Obama in a Saudi Court?

Our relationship with the Saudis should not be confused with our relationship with the Saudi leader. We have a very important 80 year relationship with the Saudis. Strategically it needs to continue.

Shielding him? Why does a foreign leader need shielding from the US legal system over something that has no relationship to the US whatsoever? How does the US have any say in this? It's not our business.

Weird, ya left out Bush killing a US citizen[Kamal Derwish] with a similar strike, without due process.

Cotton is great at writing letters, he wrote one about Iran years ago. Cotton is beholden to chicken factories in Arkansas.

With the possible exception of Lisa Murkowski. The jury is still out on this tranny’s full trasition, so she/he may still have his testicles.

Dude she be concerned with Jill and Joe not recognizing their Arkansas Grandkid.

Biden has his business partners put money in a trust for his Grandkids, but that Grandkid is excluded.

If Trump did that, it would be 30 books and several Hearings, and that’s not counting State Proceedings.

They’d be investigating the people paying into the Trust. The Lawyers that set it up would be disbarred.

Why would a U.S. court even be the venue for a lawsuit involving the death of a Saudi citizen in Turkey at the hands of the Saudi government?
