#BREAKING CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination washingtonpost.com/world/national…
>> CIA based its assessment that Saudi crown prince MBS ordered Khashoggi assassination in part on an intercepted phone call made by MBS's brother Khalid—Saudi ambassador to US—at MBS's urging—in which Khalid told Khashoggi it would be safe for him to go to the Istanbul consulate 
More: CIA conclusion that the Saudi crown prince ordered Khashoggi assassination also based on a call from the consulate by a member of the alleged Saudi hit team—just after Khashoggi killing—to one of the crown prince's top aides, informing him the operation had been completed.
CIA had intel before Khashoggi’s death indicating danger. But it wasn’t until after he disappeared that they began searching archives of intercepted communications and discovered material indicating that the Saudi royal family had been seeking to lure Khashoggi back to Riyadh.
This is so shocking & only comprehensible because it's Trump: Trump has been briefed on CIA assessment concluding Saudi crown prince ordered the heinous murder of a Saudi-American journalist, but doesn't want Khashoggi death "controversy" to impede oil production by the kingdom.
