AG Indicts Turks

     WEll, well, well.  It took awhile, but the DOJ has done its job.  The office issued indictments against 9 Turks, as in citizens of Turkey.  Two are in custory, the rest at large.  It's a long story, but the crux of the matter is this: when Turkish President Recep Erdogyan visited the US last year, he had his own staff of body guards and security agents.   On one occasion when outside during his trip, a group of demonstrators were protesting his government policies in Turkey, related to his post-coup attempt crack down on perceived disloyal Turks.   The thugs, or security team members attacked the group, physically assaulting members of the group.
      Before the melee was over, Erdogyan and crew went back to their den.  They soon left the country.  Not the end of the story.  We'll be hearing more as the legal process continues to unfold.  Stay tuned.
