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

I don’t think the reporter has anything to do with the Q post about removing media assets. Just don’t see how this guy is important enough relative to the Q-mission to get a Q mention. JMHO.

Khashoggi vanished after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, on Oct. 2.
He had entered the consulate in order to finalize his divorce so that he could marry his fiancée, whom he had left waiting outside the building. CCTV footage shows him entering the consulate but never leaving it.

and it still doesn't make sense to me.

Federal Judge Ellis demands sentencing date for Manafort, calls Mueller deal ‘highly unusual’

The federal judge who oversaw the fraud trial of Paul Manafort this summer is moving ahead with plans to sentence the former Trump campaign chairman, complicating Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s deal to have Manafort finish cooperating with his team first.

Facing a separate federal trial in September, Manafort subsequently struck a deal with Mueller’s team, pleading guilty to those charges. Under the deal, sentencing from the first trial would wait until after Manafort's cooperation was complete.

But in Thursday’s court order, Ellis called that "highly unusual."

"In this district, the government's decision to re-try a defendant on deadlocked counts is always made in a timely manner and sentencing occurs within two to no more than four months from entry of a guilty plea or receipt of a jury verdict," Ellis wrote.
