so what? sovereign Saudi property, and capital punishment is still legal...They said >1,000 times before this that he wasn’t killed there. They lied to Pres. Trump.
I’ll bet it was a “fight.” 15 to 1.
Shocked shocked!! Round up the usual suspects!
Saudi Arabia’s state-run news agency says King Salman now has a proposal on the “urgent need” to restructure the kingdom’s intelligence services after the slaying of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
The state-run Saudi Press Agency made the announcement early Saturday.
It came immediately after the official announcement by the kingdom that Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist, was killed at the consulate and that 18 Saudis were detained as suspects in the killing.
Meanwhile the plot to kill Momar Gaddafi was run from our Libyan embassy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was done by people opposed to MBS. It was crude and obvious. The murder was meant to be discovered and made into an international crisis in order to remove MBS as future Saudi king.
Now you know that Khashoggi was both Saudi and Turkish. He was from a very rich family. He had worked for the CIA and other agencies in other countries. He was a friend of bin Laden at one point. This is not your normal journalist. He was a player. And its not completely settled who’s team he was on at any moment.
This smells like a plot to take down the Crown Prince who has made many enemies among the Saudi elites. Recall that he conducted a shakedown of over 300 of the richest Saudis including Prince Alwaleed bin Talal who was held for 83 days in the Riyadh Ritz-Carlton.
15 against 1.
No fight broke out. I bet he was tied up seconds after entering.
Supposedly, they gave the rest of the Embassy staff the day off for the “meating”...PURELY by coincidence.
Saudi version of a deep state?
When I was a professor at FIU in Miami they stuck me with 180 Saudi students for one quarter. These guys were going to be the Saudi royal guards and many were part of the royal family. They lie and cheat on a daily basis. It’s an acceptable part of their culture. They do it with a sweet smile on their face. Always remember they do not subscribe to the judeo Christian ethic. They are muslims. King Salmon likely lied to Trump’s face.
Somebody had to fall on their sword, and it wasn’t going to be the King or number one prince.
THIS COCKROACH WAS NOT A JOURNALIST !!!!
HE WAS A MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD OPERATIVE !!!
This is complete bullshit !!!
Who in their right mind goes into the Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey after talking shit about the would-be-king in a kingdom not exactly well known for human rights.
I don’t give a damned about this POS, and he got what he deserved for being stupid.
Nineteen trials from Sunday through Thursday with nineteen executions on Friday.
In Saudi Arabia the crime is not murdering a scumbag who is aligned with Hamas, the Houthis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Iran. The crime is being so stupid as to have been caught which has embarrassed the 100,000 or so member Royal Family.
so what? sovereign Saudi property, and capital punishment is still legal...It seems that Saudi Arabia has some DOJ/FBI types trying to overthrow their government!
