So let me get this straight: we're being asked to believe Saudi Arabia & Mohammad Bin Salman carefully planned to abduct, torture & kill a guy inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul?
Let me just briefly go over why this is stupid.
1) The Saudi consulate in Istanbul is a secure location. That is, there security, both Saudi & Turkish everywhere, along with a ton of security cameras.
They would know this guy Khashoggi was going to be filmed ENTERING THE BUILDING.
2) HOW were the Saudis going to explain his being filmed on numerous security cameras entering the consulate but then supposedly never leaving?
The guy was supposed to disappear in THEIR building and never be seen again, which would point the finger right at...who?
3) So right there we're being asked to believe a carefully planned operation was carried out in such a manner as to IMMEDIATLEY POINT THE FINGER OF GUILT RIGHT AT SAUDI ARABIA.
Let me tell you how a real hit is done. It's done in a NON-secure location, no cameras, no witnesses.
4) So right off the bat we're asked to accept that highly intelligent Saudi operatives planned an assasnination op that would use everything but signal flags to tell the world IT WAS US WE DID THIS.
5) Then after 4-5 fun days of all this hysteria, it's discovered the guy whispering sweet nothings into Western reporter's ears where he's supposedly relating to them the deepest thoughts of Mohammad Bin Salman is...Khalid Saffuri.

By the way. What we are reading now is probably well known by the left including wall ass as well.
So when you see him going after kudlow knowing what we know that should tell you exactly who wall ass is.Hes deep state and probably inherited the position from his ol' man.
Here is additional info found on Khashoggi. Again, all is not as it appears.
From the Spectator, we get more info about Khashoggi.
Khashoggi only worked for WaPost since September of 2017.
Khashoggi interviewed Bin Laden, multiple times, from the 80’s onward, including in Tora Bora. Khashoggi denounced Bin Laden after 9/11.
Khashoggi believes in Islamic rule by becoming involved in the Democratic process.
Khashoggi, according to the Spectator, became the de facto leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Saudi Branch.
Khashoggi formed a new political party in 2018 (I guess while he was working for the WaPost) called Democracy for the Arab World Now, becoming the biggest political threat to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
How can the WaPost claim Khashoggi is a journalist, when he is the Leader of the MB in Saudi, has 2 million Twitter followers, and the leader of the political party which vehemently opposes bin Salman?
Khashoggi is seen as a progressive liberal and is the darling of leftists in the USA/UK/EU.

According to France24, in 2010, Khashoggi was appointed by Al-Waleed bin Talal as director of the Al-Arab News Channel in Bahrain. That would be the same Al-Waleed bin Talal who was kept in the Ritz Carlton for months, and stripped of half his net worth, by Mohammed Bin Salman, the young Prince of Saudi.
Since Al-Waleed is still a billionaire, and has known Khashoggi for a decade or better, would Al-Waleed have a motive to frame bin Salman?
To harm bin Salman’s leadership position in Saudi?
And the piling on by other media, banking, even Richard Branson, would they seek to isolate and ridicule bin Salman on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood, pro-Iran interests?
