GROUND SINCE BASICALLY THIS CRISIS STARTED AND IT WILL
CONTINUE AS THIS GOES ON.
BACK TO YOU, ANDREA.
>> STEVE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION NOW
SANCTIONING 17 SAW DISINCLUDING
A FORMER CLOSE ADVISER TO CROWN
PRINCE MOHAMMAD BIN SALMAN AND
THIS IS AFTER A TOP SAUDI
PROSECUTOR DEMANDED THE DEATH OF
FIVE CONNECTED WITH THE DEATH OF
JAMAL KHASHOGGI.
JAMAL KHASHOGGI. THE SAUDI MINISTER IS SAYING
THAT THE CROWN PRINCE HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
WASHINGTON POST CONTRIBUTOR’S
DEATH, AND DESPITE THE
WIDESPREAD SKEPTICISM THAT THE
KHASHOGGI MURDER COULD HAVE NOT
BEEN DONE WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE.
AND NOW, THERE ARE MEMBERS OF
THE RECORDINGS OF SOMEONE FROM
THE KILLINGS SAID TELL YOUR BOSS
AND BELIEVED TO BE THE CROWN
PRINCE THAT THE DEED WAS DONE.
SO TURKEY IS IN THE CAT SEAT
HERE, AND THE TRAGEDY HAPPENING
WITH THEM AND THEIR
SURVEILLANCE, AND OBVIOUSLY, THE
PRICE OF REVEALING THE
SURVEILLANCE IS LETTING PEOPLE
KNOW THAT THEY HAVE THE GOODS,
AND WHAT THAT I HAVE DONE IS TO
PUT MOHAMMAD BIN SALMAN REALLY
ON THE FIRING LINE, AND
INTERNATIONALLY, HE HAS BEEN
DAMAGED.
DAMAGED. MAYBE HE IS KING AND MAYBE KING
FOR LIFE FOR DECADES AND
DECADES, BUT HE IS DAMAGED
INTERNATIONALLY, BUT THEY ARE
ALSO GETTING SOMETHING IN
RESPONSE FROM THE U.S.
YOUR EXCLUSIVE REPORTING.
>> YES, AND ACCORDING TO THE RE
REPORTING THAT THE TURKS HAVE
ASKED SECRETARY POMPEO WHEN HE
WENT TO MEET WITH PRESIDENT
ERDOGAN LAST MONTH IN TURKEY FOR
THE U.S. TO EXTRADITE THIS
CLERIC LIVING IN PENNSYLVANIA
WHO ERDOGAN BLAMES FOR 2016
COUPE ATTEMPT, AND THE TURKS
ASKED FOR THE EXTRADITION OF THE
CLERIC ANY TIME THEY HAVE ANY
CON
CON CONVERSATION WITH ANY U.S.
OFFICIAL, BUT THEY MADE THE ASK
AGAIN IN THE CON TEXTEXT OF THE
KHASHOGGI MURDER, BECAUSE THE
U.S. IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TWO
OF TURKEY AND SAUDI ARABIA
TRYING TO CALM DOWN ERDOGAN AND
FIGURE OUT WHAT HE IS GOING TO
BE SATISFIED SO HE WILL
BASICALLY STOP LEAKING THE
EVIDENCE AS STRATEGICALLY AS HE
HAS AND STOKING THE
INTERNATIONAL OUTRAGE, AND SO
THE U.S. RESPONSE WAS THE GO
BACK TO THE DIRECT THE FBI AND
THE DOJ TO THE TAKE ANOTHER LOOK
AT GULAN, THE CLERIC’S
EXTRADITION CASE AND THE MESSAGE
CAME BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE
THAT THERE WAS NO NEW EVIDENCE
AND THAT IT HAD BEEN RESOLVED
ONCE THE FOR MALL EX-- FORMAL
EXTRADITION REQUEST WAS MADE
FROM TURKEY IN 2016 AND SO THEY
WENT TO THE OHOMELAND SECURITY
DEPARTMENT TO LOOK INTO THE
LEGAL STATUS WAS A GREEN CARD
AND THE MESSAGE WAS THAT HE HAS
NOT BROKE ENN ANY LAWS AND THEN
SOME THOUGHT THAT IT WAS NOT
SERIOUS, AND NOW THEY ARE
FURIOUS OVER IT.
>> AND THE WHITE HOUSE IS
CONTRADICTING THE POLICY UP TO
NOW, AND CERTAINLY, I KNOW THAT
ERDOGAN AND BIDEN HAD A REAL
DUST-UP OVER THIS, AND BUYIDEN
SAID THAT THE OUR LAWS ARE THAT
WE CANNOT EXTRADITE HIM WITHOUT
REASON, AND THIS WOULD HAVE TO
GO TO COURT, BUT NOW THEY ARE
SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING GIVING HIM
UP TO TURKEY?
>> AND ONE TOFOF THE OPTIONS UND
DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE U.S. AND
THE TURKS IS SOMEHOW CONVINCING
HIM TO GO TO SOUTH AFRICA.
>> NO WAY YOU COULD GET HIM TO
GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.
>> YES, THAT IS THE BELIEF.
NO WAY HE IS GOING TO LEAF THE
U.S., BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT FEEL
SAFE, AND HE FEELS THREATENED,
BUT THERE WAS A DISCUSSION
WHETHER HE COULD GO TO SOUTH
AFRICA WHERE HE HAS A LARGE
FOLLOWING AND SCHOOLS AND SOME
OF THE NONPROFITS.
>> WELL, WE SHOULD POINT OUT
THAT MIKE FLYNN DEALING OF
COURSE WITH BOB MUELLER, AND
MICHAEL FLYNN TALKED ABOUT DOING
THIS IN THE TRANSITION, BECAUSE
MICHAEL FLYNN WAS WORKING FOR
THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT IN FACT
FOR THE REGIME, AND THAT THERE
IS NO EVIDENCE ACCORDING TO
