Khashoggi a Washington post columnist was murdered in one of the most grotesque methods

@realDonaldTrump ONLY worry is losing all the money pouring in from Saudi Arabia

This is who @GOP @senatemajldr @SpeakerRyan are. We are so far from normal
washingtonpost.com/world/national…
This is unprecedented for an American President to behave in this manner. But very normal for a man who wants to continue destroying America on the world stage and domestically
The only message Trump is sending is that his inaction can be bought. Kushner who isn’t even supposed to have security clearance handed Saudi’s MBS a list of enemies that was compiled by American intel. How much did Kushner get paid for it? Did Kushner contribute to this murder?

This is very important to watch! I have been following the story on the Russian side since last spring when the Kremlin considered several ways of getting Deripaska’s companies out of sanctions. According to the Russians Mnuchin provided a path for lifting sanctions in April 2018

From April 2018

What in the actual fresh root of all evil empire fucking hell is this

#Khashoggi #KSA
To answer my own rhetorical question here RE Trump, Khashoggi, Saudi & Iran, here’s a recent thread:

I wrote that thread 2 days ago, and have to say #CalledIt (and told Al Jazeera basically the same thing a month ago).

Didn’t expect it to be quite THAT blatant, though. Jesus Christ.

1. #Saudi has a bad track record of announcing formal mechanisms to look into deaths of civilians at the hands of its own officers which have then utterly failed to credibly investigate those deaths. See #Yemen. See #Khashoggi.

2. Each victim of an unlawful Saudi coalition strike in #Yemen is as worthy of concern as a Washington Post columnist. A groom and his wedding party. A child locked in jail. Villagers digging a well. Crowds shopping at a market. All killed or wounded in coalition bombings.
3. For years, the #Saudi coalition—armed and assisted by the #US—has killed and wounded thousands of civilians in Yemen, leaving behind a trail of death, destruction, and broken lives.

"Donald Trump, who may be the only person more fond of lavish displays of arriviste gilt than the Saudis, is bedazzled by a Saudi pledge to buy billions worth of American weapons" #SundayMorning

2/"I was having dinner here once with a Saudi muck-a-muck. Midway through the interview, he passed an oblong velvet box across the table. Inside I found an expensive piece of jewelry. I began laughing and explained that I was a reporter and could not take such baubles. The Saudi
3/"said he understood. About 10 minutes later, I felt a knocking against my knee under the table. It was the oblong box, offered more covertly. The Saudis are experts on emoluments. If you don’t take their favors one way, they find another way to try to co-opt you.

One thing that makes this #Khashoggi story difficult to assess when it comes to who's responsible is that there are different factions within Saudi Arabia constantly jockeying for power. It's not one monolithic thing.

Bin Salman heads only one faction.
Mohammad Bin Salman [MbS] not only has to deal with states in the region that want to thwart his plans for Saudi Arabia [SA} & the Middle East [ME] such as Iran, Turkey, Syria, Russia, Quatar...he also has people inside SA itself that don't like his reforms or agenda.
So when the narrative gets presented that "The only way Khashoggi could end up dead is on the direct orders of MbS" you might want to keep this in mind.

There are SEVERAL ways Khashoggi could end up meeting his demise at the hands of Saudis not working on the orders of MbS.

More Fake News opinion, published by the Washington Post, framed as if it’s fact, churned by Salon.

Crystal ball gazing by anyone (including cherry picked “experts”) is not the same as evidence.

🤓Put your Fake News detector glasses, on when you read.🤓

Here are a few interesting facts, that should help you assess the news related to Khasoggi:
1. Khasoggi is one of very many journalists who have been killed, jailed or are missing.
2. The political brouhaha over Khasoggia is exceptional.
3. Khasoggi has a very interesting history
Why would a journalist work with Saudi (and possibly US) Intelligence in Afghanistan?

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
