9/11 and Saudi Arabia

Lupica weighs in:

 

Hillary won't even confirm whether or not she's read the 28 pages:

 

Why would she comment? That's a grenade with the pin pulled if she says (in so many words), Shit, yeah, I read it -- and the Saudis fucked us.

Sure. But I wouldn't expect any of the other candidates to answer it, either.

Definitely let's play the game of posting GOP and Dem pictures of coziness with the Saudis. That will go far for you.

 

I didn't choose/post the picture. The Hill chose the art to accompany their story.
