The benefits to them, and notably anyone associated with Mike Flynn and his suspected plotting to kidnap that cleric. But to also Rudy Giuliani, Rump's own economic interests at real risk of Erdogan's ire in Turkey, the Rump administration's relationship with Erdogan, and the interests and legal safety of other trumpster players are obvious.

I can't think of anything that connects them. Other than several may want Trump investigated.

I like to see the other Democrats on that list.

- some even before he took office.

Trump has business interests in Turkey (he gets $ for licensing his name to Trump Towers Istanbul) and Erdogan arrested people connected to the owners, so I understand that move...but why the harassment of Schumer et al?

They don't want to be discovered as the people that put the current dumbass in office. They probably put W in office too. An earlier version put Reagan in office.

If one thinks about it, none of those three were smart enough to do it alone, they had to have had help. Hate to be paranoid, but those three assholes don't have the combined brainpower to work the counter at McDonalds.

Turkey is voting to eliminate the Prime Minister.
And give more power the Erdogan.
If the referendum passes Turkey will no longer have a parliamentary government.

Erdogan is trying to look like a strong man.

he quickly sold his soul to pootie right after that little dust up over Turkey shooting down a Russian fighter jet over a disputed border. Now he's trying to blame his fake coup on some poor cleric in PA. And now that another Russian tool is in office over here, that poor cleric will be sacrificed, just watch how quickly that happens.

I feel sorry for the Turkish people.

and they are indeed very kind and friendly.
