SEN. RON WYDEN (D) CALLS ON BIDEN TO HOLD CROWN PRINCE "ACCOUNTABLE" FOR MURDER
The Hill ^ | 11/21/22 1:50 PM ET | BY CHLOE FOLMAR

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is urging President Biden to hold Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman “accountable” for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, criticizing the administration’s choice to grant immunity to the royal.

“The State Department’s decision to intervene in this case undermined the ability to hold the Crown Prince accountable for his crime,” Wyden tweeted Monday. “I call on @POTUS Biden to honor his commitment to hold MBS accountable and to reexamine our relationship with the Saudis.”

The Biden administration last week weighed in on a lawsuit filed by Khashoggi’s fiancée Hatice Cengiz in 2020, determining that Crown Prince Mohammed was legally immune from the complaint.

The State Department said the Saudi prince could not be sued in federal court due to his status as sitting head of a foreign national government.

“In making this immunity determination, the Department of State takes no view on the merits of the present suit and reiterates its unequivocal condemnation of the heinous murder of Jamal Khashoggi,” the department wrote in a court filing.

Khashoggi was killed in 2018 inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, an incident which the CIA concluded was ordered by the crown prince.

He wasn’t a journalist! He “wrote” 3 Op-Ed pieces for the WaPo that a CIA dude said were written for him by a Qatar-based Al-Jazeera writer. He was a vile Jew-hater and former best friend of Osama Bin Laden. He stupidly decided to make an enemy of MBS and the royal Saud family. He f**ked around, and found out, and NO ONE should miss this skunk.

Why would anyone give a hoot about Jamal Khashoggi?

Other than at the Washington Post, that is.

Regardless of what you think about MBS, what possible basis is there for him to be tried in a US court? No Americans involved, only acts are on foreign soil, no injury to the US or any if it’s citizens. Nothing in the event has anything whatsoever to do with the US. I call BS on this whole stupid story.

He’s not going to do that, Ron.

He has given the Crown Prince total unaccountability.

Prince gonna give some energy ...he has to get something in return, you simple jackass.

Holding the criminals in Portland accountable would be a start, Ron.

I think Biden and Wyden should go over there with the head of Homeland and the FBI and arrest him.

If he wrote anything for WaPo, he may have been a CIA asset also.

Hey Ron, why you are at it why don’t you hold Biden responsible for the Seth Rich murder? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Our American politicians have enough of their own dirt on their hands to be concerned with.
Sure would be nice if the U.S. Government was forced to truly account for it’s treatment of the J6 people.
We are torturing our own people over basic differences of opinion, something that used to be treated as a legal and civil matter. Our two party system was something both parties used to be quite proud of. Not anymore.

What matter is it of ours? Kashoggi family were terrorists, Kashoggi is Saudi citizen, the Saudis are terrorists, the murder did not occur in the US. It is not our concern what they do. Best to have no dealings at all with the Saudis, regardless of or even if they kill themselves off.

Not that I’m a fan of the monarchy in the ME...but is Wyden a shill for the liberal Washington Post?

They were not pro West. It’s all just powerful Washington Post propaganda.
