Excerpt:

Vice President Joe Biden appeared in Turkey on Wednesday to reaffirm that the United States of America had no prior knowledge of the Turkish coup by the military and to also explain the slow walk of the American legal process in delivering the nemesis cleric being blamed for the July 15 coup, Fethullah Gulen, according to various media sources. ...
