“Isikoff and Klaidman’s source for their stories”
The same Michael Isikoff involved in peddling the Trump Dossier, to get a FISA warrant on the Trump Campaign.
This is starting to reek of an Intelligence Agency smear operation - probably the Turks, maybe with Qatar.
Khashoggi may be laughing it up in the Turkish witness protection program, while they run a story designed to make Trump look bad right before the election, and drive a wedge in the US/Saudi alliance.
