BREAKING: #Saudi prosecutor confirms death of Jamal #Khashoggi.

Pre-planned scapegoat Deputy Chief of Intelligence General Assiri has been dismissed as well as MBS Adviser Saud Al Qahtani. Saudi investigators have detained 18 suspects in Khashoggi's murder.
@Joyce_Karam #Maddow
The Saudi Prosecutor claims a heated discussion between Jamal #Khashoggi & Saudi agents in Consul in Istanbul turned into quarrel and fist fighting which led to his death. Doesn't explain why the Saudi kill team brought a bone saw, though, does it?
#Maddow
A "fist fight" in which Jamal Khashoggi was accidentally decapitated & dismembered with a bone saw the Saudi agents just happened to bring along for a simple interrogation and/or rendition? Trump & Jared Kushner will totally go along with this BS.

BREAKING: Saudi Crown Prince MBS – who likely ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi – will head the commission to investigate the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

Oh, okay. Jamal Khashoggi died from a chokehold during an altercation, not a fist fight. That TOTALLY explains how he was somehow dismembered and decapitated. And the bone saw. Obviously, one needs a bone saw to execute an effective chokehold. JFC.
#Maddow
just happened to bring along *a bone saw*
CIA officials have listened to a recording Turkish officials say proves Jamal Khashoggi was killed and dismembered by a team of Saudi agents inside the Saudi consulate in Instabul. If verified, the recording completely contradicts the Saudis story.

Leonid Teyf, a wealthy Russian national living in NC accused of money laundering and plotting a murder-for-hire, has ties to Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin ["Putin's chef"], who was indicted by Mueller election tampering.

NEW ––> Trump admin makes FALSE case for crisis at border, laying foundation for Trump to declare a PHONY national emergency to build his useless wall. [FIFY, @PhilipRucker]

If there's such a crisis, why didn't Trump use all of the money he was allotted for the wall last year?

To avoid questions, Mark Harris, GOP candidate at the center of NC's disputed 9th District race which is in limbo over voter fraud allegations [against Harris' campaign], ran out an emergency exit, set off the fire alarm, and then sped away in a waiting car. WTAF 😂
omg
My bad. Mark Harris, who's under investigation for unprecedented election fraud perpetrated by his campaign, didn't speed away in a waiting car tonight – that happened when he was fleeing from reporters last month too. omfg 😂

#Saudi feminist Loujain al-Hathloul, 29, was detained in May in unprecedented crackdown vs feminists. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aide Saud al-Qahtani, personally oversaw her interrogation, which incl waterboarding & threatened to rape & kill her google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.…
Of 18 detained activists, at least eight have been physically abused in custody, according to Saudi advisers, activists &others with knowledge of the prisoners’ treatment. One said security officials electrocuted her hands. “My fingers resembled barbecued meat, swollen and blue”
Glad to see some finally pay attention to misogyny in #Saudi Arabia - I call it gender apartheid. RIP Jamal Khashoggi. It should not be lost on us that it took the murder of a man for some to finally pay attention to women.

At the start of this story I wrote that I was SURE #Khashoggi had been told “by someone he trusted״ that it was safe to go to the Istanbul consulate. That he was observant & no fool.
Khalid told Khashoggi, a contributing columnist to The Washington Post, that he should go to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to retrieve the documents and gave him assurances that it would be safe to do so."
this is Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the US - who then said "the reports that suggest that Jamal Khashoggi went missing in the Consulate in Istanbul or that the Kingdom’s authorities have detained him or killed him are absolutely false"

BREAKING: Saudi Foreign Ministry confirms that Jamal #Khashoggi died "during a fight" at the consulate in Istanbul.

May he rest in peace, and his fiancée be allowed to mourn in peace.
Per @BBC, two top officials have been dismissed over the affair.

One is named as Saud al-Qahtani, a senior aide to MBS.

If it's the same man who uses the handle @SaudQ1978, he was the chief driver of pro-Saudi hashtags during the Twitter war between Saudi and Qatar last year.

#Saudi actors who ordered #Khashoggi's death were aware he wanted his divorce paper, but hadn't anticipated his fiancee's call to Aktay which had some swift consequences. Turkish authorities searched one of the planes leaving with part of the murder team, but found nothing. /1
"Turkish intelligence agency MIT decided to review an audio-visual feed fr inside the consulate"... Grisly details ... suggest that Khashoggi was tortured then killed soon after entering the consulate" /2 cnn.com/2018/10/19/mid…
Had Hatice Cengiz not been there to call Aktay, the Turks wouldn't have suspected as soon as they did, that #Khashoggi had been killed. The info. about that clandestine AV feed was leaked over the week as the Saudis were swift to deny & slow to cooperate with the investigation./3

#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.

Turkey has concluded that Jamal #Khashoggi, a prominent journalist from Saudi Arabia, was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul earlier this week by a 15-member Saudi team sent “specifically for the murder" washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
"#Khashoggi visited the consulate to obtain documents related to his upcoming wedding.

The killing, if confirmed, would mark a stunning escalation of Saudi Arabia’s effort to silence dissent, rounding up clerics, business execs & women’s rights advocates"
"The initial assessment of the Turkish police is that Mr. #Khashoggi has been killed at the consulate of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul. We believe that the murder was premeditated and the body was subsequently moved out of the consulate." reuters.com/article/us-sau…
