FULL TITLE: CIA reportedly determines Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of Jamal Khashoggi
The CIA has determined that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, The Washington Post reported Friday citing people familiar with the matter.
Officials told the Post that the CIA has a high degree of confidence in its finding.
The conclusion counters Saudi Arabia's explanation for Khashoggi's death. The kingdom claimed that the Washington Post columnist died in an altercation at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last month.
The Post reported that the CIA looked into a phone call between the crown prince's brother, who also serves as the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., Khalid bin Salman and Khashoggi. Sources told the Post that during that call, Khashoggi was directed to pick up documents at the consulate.
While the Post said it was not clear whether Khalid bin Salman knew that Khashoggi would be killed, sources told the Post that he made the call at his brother's request.
Saudi Arabia's account of what happened to Khashoggi changed over time. Days after Khashoggi went missing, the crown prince told Bloomberg that the journalist left the consulate shortly after arriving.

Gee, the Saudis offed a terrorist loving ‘journalist.’
Much as I don’t like the Saudis, I find it hard to care.
Muslim Brotherhood should all be dead
I just dont care what happened to Khashoggi. Our country is falling apart and the media is obsessed over a journalist.
Well of course he ordered it. His own security people did the deed.
Let’s see, this is from NBC with an anonymous report from the CIA.
Totally believable. Not.
So what!
The US should simply act in the best interests of the country. Period. Feelings be damned.
Your reply exactly, plus Libya and about 100 others.
I don’t know why we even care about this particular event, and yet there it is, in the news for another day.
So the CIA gives thier findings to treasonous bastards at the post? What the hell is that?
We should trust the CIA because why?
Frankly, the CIA could be shut down tomorrow, all OUR assets hauled out and sold on open markets, the buildings either used for American citizen homeless shelters, or raised to the ground, and the grounds salted, and we wouldn’t have our lives inversely impacted, nor our country’s security, whatsoever.
Let’s overthrow the Saudi regime now. About the only middle east country we haven’t.
I have determined that I just can’t make myself care about a muslim brotherhood WaPo contributor being whacked.
More like the Brennan CIA's strong belief in Rooskie Collusion with Trump.
The Washington Post reported Friday citing people familiar with the matter.

Well, that sure makes you believe this story, huh?
It stretches credibility that he didn’t.
The Saudi’s are garbage.
The fact that it’s beomg spread through the “news” media makes me think it’s a destabilization campaign.
Gina better find out who is leaking to the press. They are embarrassing her any the other professionals in the CIA.
Jamal Khashoggi was a Muslim Brotherhood leader and an old friend of Osama bin Laden..
He’s being mourned by the media that backed the Muslim Brotherhood.
