Even after Jamal #Khashoggi fled Saudi Arabia, he hoped he could continue serving the Royal Court by setting up a pro-government think-tank in Washington, D.C. (from Blood and Oil) #bloodandoil 
But with the prevention of his son from traveling and need of a prisoner in the Ritz “sheikhdown” dying, he made a pivotal shift and agreed to help the 9/11 plaintiffs with their lawsuit against Saudi Arabia #bloodandoil #khashoggi
He told one an investigator for the plaintiffs: “I do not believe my country is responsible for the attacks...” then: “is my country responsible for tolerating and even supporting radicalism? Yes and they must take responsibility for that.” #bloodandoil #SaudiArabia #Khashoggi
