Turkish agents made it onto the plane taking Khashoggi’s evident assassins back to Saudi Arabia.[Click] It occurs to me that the time sequence of locations of the two consular vehicles that left the consulate a couple hours after Khashoggi disappaeard should be recoverable from cell tower data even if there were no phone calls made along the way, possibly combined with the information from the computers in the vehicles. Probably the vehicles had GPS capability, which means they were in contact with satellites as well, even if such utilities were not being used. I expect that recovery of body parts will be leaked to the news media before long.
Quite the contrary. In Illinois, to my certain knowledge, whether you have voted is a matter of public record. WHO you voted for is a different matter.
I do believe it is the same in California. I voluntarily told them how I voted in the races they asked about, including propositions. And then they showed me how others had answered.
This should be exposed (should have been exposed before the election!), but for the Dems to bring it up right now seems short sighted. Why play your hand that can rile up DT's base ahead of the election? Why not wait until after the election and go at it full tilt?

Oh, something new this evening; an online exit poll. Some outfit found out that I had voted, and asked me to take a survey. It seemed legit.
ReplyDeleteAlan
Alan!! Call your town/city clerk and ask HOW someone found out that you voted!!! That sounds incredibly illegal!!!

So, some Dems in Congress sent a letter to DT inquiring about his financial ties to Saudi Arabia.
