Effort to 'barter' a US resident to convince Turkey to ramp down Khashoggi probe (businessinsider.de)

Original title was too long, HN asked me to trim it, so I cut beginning and end.

Actual title:

> Trump administration's reported effort to 'barter' a US resident to convince Turkey to ramp down Khashoggi probe stuns foreign-policy veterans

It is a terrible thing for a government to do, but not surprising for Trump. The message is: values don't matter as much as interests, and anyone can be bought or sold if the price is right.

Just burn the Constitution's preamble and piss on the ashes.
