military central command in florida on this new year's eve you're probably thinking of all the nightmares that happen that been so humiliating and so enduring the united states from the take over of the u.s. embassy in tehran some 40 years ago. to the attack and the killing of the u.s. ambassador in tripoli just a few years ago and in between of course there's been several attacks on u.s. installations including for example the attack on the us marines in lebanon by none other than the hezbollah in lebanon. so if you sitting anywhere and you have a memory of history of american experiences in the middle east you're probably looking at the scenes of angry protesters probably instigated by some political party or another to attack the u.s. embassy in iraq says almost what now 16 years after the u.s. invasion and occupation of iraq you probably have a lot of nightmares about what potentially this could lead and how embarrassing and how complicating for u.s. diplomacy in the middle east this could be if this continues to escalate and if there is a complicity between the attackers the demonstr

they distribute from democrats at central command is that can't be held because unlike their own pristinempeachment probe in the house, it would be rigged. >> there is no such thing as a fair trial where the prosecution doesn't get to put on its witnesses and documents. that is on its face a riggedir trial. it is a sham trial. >> and now he is essentially coordinating with the majority leader, mitch mcconnell in the senate to try to rig at the outcome of a trial in which every single united states contender is supposed to raise their hand, swear an oath impartiality and mitch mcconnell has already admitted he will violate that oath. >> mark: it is easy to find the real reasons democrats don't want a trial. such as protecting possible presidential nominee joe biden from embarrassment. f unfortunately for their best efforts, biden is determined ton embarrass himself no matter what. during an interview with "des moines register," biden would ignore a subpoena from the senate to testify about ukraine. >> do you stand by your earlier statements that you would not comply if you were subpoenaed

central command has direct communications with the saudi military.ely there will be conversations about this. not likely we're going to see the nuts and bolts of those conversations, but i think right now we're going to see a lot of deference to the fbi with everyone from the navy to the pentagon to the local sheriffs, the local law enforcement on the ground that did such remarkable work trying to bring this all to a close this morning. >> admiral kirby, you had some unique perspective in the sense that not only were you stationed for five years, you worked at the state, you worked at the pentagon. what happened when you will have pentagon officials, state officials, fbi officials now wanting information from the saudis about the suspect's family, about relations, about any communications just as you would scrub a crime scene here, social media communications, anything back home. how does that work? >> presumably we would work with the interagency, the fbi coming up with more information about this individual, what he was doing, how long he had been
