things as a professor matter? i think it would be unusual if the facts as reported are true. as i said, there has already been a very careful vetting of the validity of the turkish government s request, and this is maybe not even a second bite of the apple, but a third or fourth bite of the apple. so it appears they are trying to create a pretext under some sort of facts to eject mr. gulen out of the united states in order to play indicate the erdogan regime, to soothe the current hostility toward the saudi government in order to appease a regime that our own intelligence community allege has committed one of the grossest human rights atrocities in human memory. david lofton, it s always an honor to have you here, sir. thanks for your time tonight. thank you, rachel. the framing that mr. loughman put on there, if you combine
call. one reporter described it as warm and chummy toward the leader. they re at odds over a host of issues including the syrian civil war, turkeys plans to purchase a russell missile defense system and unlawful jailing of multiple americans. congress calling on the trump administration to sanction the erdogan regime. it s adding fuel to the fire of the concern of erdogan s leadership here in washington sandra: as we mentioned lawmakers are also fighting to bring pastor brunson back and they re hinting at ways that they could do that. i saw all of the counts spelled out. i saw nothing in there that would keep somebody in jail overnight in the u.s. judicial system. they would have pastor brunson and some other americans imprisoned on charges that just don t hold water. really calls into question our relationship. so there are actions that we
