We are expected to believe that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is so dumb he might have had a critic killed (a man who was under the patronage of another Saudi Royal, and possibly the US govt) 👉🏼in a Saudi embassy👈🏼 in Turkey.
Q. What was Khashoggi doing in Saudi embassy in Istanbul anyway, given he was not a Turkish citizen, and was residing in the US?

A. It was to get divorce papers to marry a woman 👉🏼he had only met in May 2018 (at a conference in Istanbul)

🐘What is the background of his fiancee
Khashoggi was a friend of Osama bin Laden. He had worked in Afghanistan for Saudi and US Intelligence.

Khashoggi was close to two Saudi Princes.
Prince Turki Al Faisal (who’d been head of Saudi Intelligence up until 10 days before 9/11) and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal
I think any man responsible for the genocide & hell in Yemen is inherently evil, and probably capable of doing all manner of evil things

The fact this human tragedy persists shows a lack of moral backbone, or conscience on the part of all participating in the decimation of Yemen
Evil powerful men tend to be strategists and deceitful, but they are not typically stupid.

So while the Saudi Crown Prince could potentially have directly or indirectly ordered the attack on Khashoggi, surely potential backlash would have been obvious?
Why would Crown Prince risk the backlash of killing Khashoggi in the Saudi Embassy in Istanbul - when he could have been killed elsewhere (with less risk of exposure), if that was the plan
If👉🏼15 people👈🏼 were sent to confront him, someone had a plan
Why would they be so obvious?
Unfortunately lots of investigative journalists are killed, imprisoned or go missing in the course of their work - with absolutely no fanfare.

Note the condemnation of Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi, but next to nothing over Yemen?

The murder of Khashoggi is awful but odd.
Saudi Arabia apparently has a policy of “returning” dissident citizens who are abroad.

If Khashoggi had not decided to marry a woman he had only met 5 months earlier in Turkey, he would not have gone to the Embassy.

🐘Who is she?🐘

WHO required him to appear in person?
The consulate in Istanbul reported ? to Saudi Intelligence that Khashoggi would be coming on Oct. 2 to pick up a document needed for his coming marriage,
👉🏼General Assiri dispatched a 15-man team to confront him.👈🏼
Was this normal?
Did the Prince approve it?
Why would head of Saudi Intelligence Maj. Gen. Ahmed al-Assiri send a team of 15, if the intent was just to return him (albeit unwillingly) home?

If they intended to kill him, why did they do it at the Consulate?
Was it because the consulate is legally regarded Saudi territory?
Look at the people Trump has pardoned 🙄

Is the Crown Prince planning to pardon this lot, irrespective of the outcome of a trial (assuming there will be a trial?)

He pardoned Prince Alwaleed bin Talal who was arrested for corruption, but let him go allegedly after paying a fine
Erdogan has made assertions that were IMO in the realm of Fake News speculation, until the Saudi govt appears to have verified some of what he said.

It seems as if Turkey (or one of its allies) has some surveillance system on the Saudi embassy, how else could Erdogan know?
If part of what Erdogan claimed is true, then the creepy claim that a forensic pathologist was amongst the 15 (and attended to dismember the body) may also be true - in which case, this was a truly psychopathic plot

Whoever was behind the murder, it raises major issues over GIP
Was the murder done in interest of the Crown Prince (who unsurprisingly is being accused of being behind it); or extremist Islamic Wahhabist elites Khashoggi criticised; or in the interest of some other Prince with aspirations; or done because that’s what psychopathic agencies do
Saudi Arabia is certainly doing the right thing in arresting those responsible for death of Khasoggi - but is this just for show?

If the Prince was behind it, arrests likely are just for show.

If he wasn’t; yet is getting lots of neg backlash; there will likely be hell to pay
