there are ways to mitigate the damage from the disasters and they re going to happen with greater frequency, so we re told. so here is more right now on the saudi crackdown on this group they insist was behind the killing of jamal khashoggi, the washington post journalist. 18 saudi suspects are now in custody and they include two interesting individuals, very high up in the kingdom. a two-star general, he was the architect on the war in yemen and the war effort there and the communications director for lack of a better term, for the crowned prince. what s having about al-katain, he famously said less than a year ago, i don t do anything, quoting here, from my own head. i m an employee and executor of my king and my crowned prince. of course, the crown prince is
many doubt saudi is able to conduct a neutral investigation. there is no doubt that where the failure to conduct an investigation into the disappearance of jamal khashoggi, the findings would not be credible in any way. they cannot be credible. one other name that crops up, is al asirri, a two-star general and vice president of saudi intelligence. growing reports he may have been the man that ordered the intel gauges and rumor suggests they may be planning on pinning the blame on him. and we are still hearing that the saudi investigation may well suggest that this was an interrogation gone wrong, sanctioned at high levels of the saadi government but not as high as the crown prince. just in the last few moments we get reports unconfirmed that saudi state tv is reporting khashoggi s death and they have fired a top general. we ll wait to bring you more evidence of that in the coming moments. bret: keep you here for a
she said he treated her unprofessionally, she was uncomfortab uncomfortable. do you think she left because jackson is still there, and jackson is due to possibly be promoted by the senate armed services committee to a two-star general? is this the right time to do that with all of this happening and no investigation into it? yeah, i would think that dr. jackson has had a turn in the barrel, as you might say. there seems to be so much fallout that that is probably what is driving this. that white house office, something that most of us probably never thought about or knew much about, its operations as far as dispensing medication, now there are privacy issues. the way this which that office operates is crying out for some outside attention. this, i think, is one more piece of evidence that what we might have assumed was something that could be taken care of and that there were no problems, actually has quite a lot of problems. they date back to more than one
clearance. something between 30 and 40 white house staffers with jared kushner? yes. i m also troubled by the fact that someone with these allegations in his background get any information whether or not there s a security clearance at issue, that s an important point. what s also important to me, even if there were no classified information, how did someone with this allegation in his background get a job at the white house? those are two really important issues. alisyn, i ll tell you, you don t want people with domestic violence allegations hired, whether there s a security clearance at issue or not. is the security clearance process broken? yes. what s broken about it? any time you have a backlog, you have two issues, are there too many applicants or too few resources to process the applicants. we re all creatures of our own experience. i had a two-star general that
will lay out those other charges. and a 5k motion, memo from the prosecutor saying that this guy has been cooperating, giving us this important detail. let s reduce his sentence. david ignatius, i heard over the weekend that somebody who worked with general flynn in fact, quite a few high-ranking generals who work with general flynn sort of said the same thing as clint did. they don t know what happened because it might be hard for people to remember but general flynn was one of the best and the brightest at what he did. was extraordinarily gifted and was seen in military circles as a bit of a treasure. gl he is an officer. i met him as a two-star general in afghanistan. i followed his work before that in iraq. he had a reputation for having figured out how to fuse
