Michael Rubin, 19FortyFive: How Biden’s Jamal Khashoggi Report Could Backfire
The Biden administration today fulfilled its pledge to release an unclassified version of a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) report on Saudi Arabia’s murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In many ways, the report’s release is gratuitous: While Saudi officials have repeatedly denied Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman’s involvement, few inside or outside the Kingdom had any doubt that the crown prince had issued the order.

It is so predictable why are Obama and his flunkies doing it?
I do not know why the flunkies are so damn stupid, but Obama, he wants to tear things down.
In the past 20 years or so interfaith dialogue has been a big thing. Now Obama is doing podcasts and the ones about Islam shows Obama's true colors.

Why isn't Obama doing the interfaith thing?
For the same reason he was never a bridge between white and black.
