Saudi Crown Prince MBS described slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi as 'a dangerous Islamist' and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood days after his disappearance in a phone call with Jared Kushner & Trump NSA John Bolton.

Turkish officials suspect Jamal Khashoggi’s dismembered body may have been dissolved in acid on Saudi Consulate grounds or at the Saudi consul general's residence. Biological evidence discovered in the consulate garden supports the theory.

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 😂

The Khashoggi incident will be blown wide open...again. This time, will @POTUS make his move?
2. @LindseyGrahamSC gave a STRONG statement after a secret briefing by the C_A about the #Khashoggi incident. Watch this whole video (7 minutes), not just the portions being given by others. Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) has been put on notice.

3. Graham pulls no punches in addressing MBS and his abusive, chaotic, dangerous, criminal behavior. This is going to resonate widely throughout the Senate and I believe it will be addressed on the Senate floor in the coming days. Some think this issue is not an important one.

Trump at a campaign rally in 2015 on Saudi Arabia

“They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million, Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”
In Trump’s hard times, a Saudi prince bought a superyacht and hotel from him.

The Saudi government paid Trump $4.5 million for an apartment near the United Nations.
Saudi lobbyists spent $270,000 for rooms at Trump’s hotel in Washington.

Just this year, Trump’s hotels in New York and Chicago reported significant upticks in bookings from Saudi visitors.

The worst part of Trump’s abhorrent statement standing w/ Saudi Crown Prince MBS is the propaganda “we may NEVER know all the facts” of #Khashoggi murder. He’s trying to cast doubt on culpability when there is none. The world is a more dangerous place b/c of Trump’s moral abyss.
What a sickening display. Trump’s Thanksgiving message: US pardons heinous Saudi murderer. It’s a big thumbs up👍 to lawless dictators who kill journalists and the truth, and a🖕—a knife in the back—to every journalist, anti-corruption activist & human rights defender. #Khashoggi
With a straight face, Pompeo: US is committed to protecting all Americans—that’s what the State Dept does—and US will continue to have a relationship w Saudi Arabia.

Khashoggi was a US resident, had US citizen children. This administration is FOS, corrupt, & a danger to us all.

It's clear Trump seeks to provide cover for Saudi's brutal murder of WaPo journalist Jamal #Khashoggi.

The question is, why?

As is the case with almost all of Trump's actions, the answer lies with personal self-interest, greed & corruption. /1
We can't understand the situation w/o knowing about Saudi domestic politics.

Crown Prince MBS holds de facto power; the King is senile.

The New Yorker asked, "In his work w/the WH, is MBS driving out extremism, or merely seizing power for himself?" /2
newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…
MBS seeks to cast himself as a reformer; a modern monarch who can liberalize Saudi. The truth isn't so benign.

A source w/deep knowledge of Saudi politics told us, "His initiatives have been in the right direction, but he's ruthless & the rule of law isn't on his radar." /3

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…
