I do not trust Turkey. But that is not to say that they are incorrect in this case. I don’t trust the Saudis either. But that is not to say they are wrong in this case.
The reality is that this issue is big because The Washington Post had a deal with this guy. And it appears that the Saudis had enough of him. And so they took him out. Turkey is blaming the Saudis. Mostly the blame from Turkey is to escape blame themselves.
If Bezos and The Post let it go, Trump would let it go. But The Post is very mad that someone took out their guy. And inevitably this guy was also a spy for some countries, maybe many countries. And those people will want to know why their guy was killed.
Don’t accept or expect that this is a clean issue. There are likely many right and wrongs done here by many sides. This is between the press and several countries. With issues that range from espionage to favors to punishment for crimes to stopping leaks to warnings for others to personal vendettas.
