thanks for that. it still doesn't make sense for him being anywhere near, based on this( CIA or not):

Khashoggi has been critical of the Saudi government in pieces written wrote for The Washington Post. He reportedly turned down offers for positions with Salman’s government, telling one friend, “Are you kidding? I don’t trust them one bit,” according to the Post.

I agree, doesn’t make sense. Had to be lured, or inexperienced and naive, or maybe just plain stupid.
