Gulen’s another jihadi promoter with big dreams, given huge $$$ to Hitlery, has 150 charters schools in the US and a lot of muzzie followers here. Erdog hates Gulen because he’s a rival, not because he’s moderate, he is not moderate.
My point is that Gulen needs to be made the greater villain. Then the media will set about destroying Gulen if Obama’s decision is to extradite -for no other reason then to shield Obama.
However, that will all look awefully foolish if Erdogan sets about sumarily executing 7,000 cops, 7,000 military members, 700 judges, etc.
With assurance of Erdogan’s discretion, the extradition will proceed and the administration will have the media (here) lay siege to Gulen’s reputation.
That the media is quiet about Gulen, tells you the narrative hasn’t been laid out for them yet.
