Top Democrat suggests Khoshoggi was on a Trump hit list
The Washington Times ^ | October 20, 2018 | Rowan Scarborough

A House Democrat on the intelligence committee is suggesting that the White House and top aide Jared Kushner maintained a “hit list” of dissidents for the Saudi kingdom to assassinate.

Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas, who sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said the supposed list included murdered Saudi dissident/journalist Jamal Khoshoggi.

The Saudi Arabia ruling family admitted Friday its operatives had killed Mr. Khoshoggi inside its consulate in Istanbul during what they described as a brawl.

Mr. Castro, appearing on CNN, floated the conspiracy that President Trump’s White House target Mr. Khoshoggi in alliance with Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman, the country’s 33-year-old de facto ruler.

The CNN anchor then pushed back, saying the network had not reported such a White House plot.

Joaquin Castro should be a street vendor selling tacos instead of being on the House Intel Committee.

The whole Castro family is La Raza. Watch out for him and his equally squirrelly looking twin. One or both will run for POTUS in 20.

I’m pretty sure Trump had no idea who the hell this guy was before he walked into the Saudi embassy a few weeks ago.

Do you have to be insane to be Democrat or does being a Democrat MAKE you insane?

You don’t have to be crazy to be a Democrat but it helps.

I won’t embarrass Maxine, Mika, Feinstein, Pelosi or Michael Moore by naming them. Aren’t I a gentleman?

He was a Muslim Brotherhood apologist, he was anti-Egyptian military, he was anti-everything Trump’s America stands for, and I am sure he probably was on several hit lists. including the Saudi’s.

I am quite certain he cheered on September 11, 2001.

And let me guess, he saw nothing wrong with a suspicious death of a US supreme court justice.

There are enough wacko democrats out there who will believe anything if it’s against Trump.

Sooner or later something will have to be done about the insanity coming from the left. It will reach a boiling point and I’d hate to be one of them when it does.

I'm literally weeping right now. #JamalKhashoggi was a brave hero just like Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Caitlyn Jenner. Khashoggi always stood up for the rights of #POC and #LGBTQIA and this is why #Drumpf murdered him. #Resistance #BashTheFash— NPC97297195 (@NPC97297195) October 20, 2018

Castro - him or his brother (they're twins) - was planning to run for president.

But here, like Warren, he shoots himself in the foot before the race even begins.

The damage is less in Castro's case than in Warren's, but he's starting from so much further behind that this makes his chances even slimmer than they were before.

This may be an indication of gaffes to come from Joaquin.
