SCOOP: CIA concludes Saudi crown prince MBS ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. Trump was shown evidence of MBS’ involvement but remains skeptical he ordered the killing, siding with the Saudi govt over the CIA.
by @shaneharris @gregpmiller @jdawsey1 #Maddow wapo.st/2qPmcAV?tid=ss…
According to US intelligence intercepts, Prince MBS's brother Khalid [Saudi ambassador to the US] told Jamal Khashoggi in a phone call that he should go to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to retrieve his documents and that he'd be safe to do so.
#Maddow
Trump is willing to handover to the Turkish govt a US person living in PA, Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen [an enemy of Erdogan], in an effort to persuade Erdogan to ease up on the Saudis about Khashoggi's murder – all to protect Jared's pal, MBS.
#Maddow
MAR 2017 [2 months after Saudi Crown Prince MBS' spy chief Gen Assiri met w Flynn, other Trump transition officials, Psy Group's Joel Zamel, & George Nader]: Assiri met w businessmen including Zamel & Nader to discuss assassinating enemies of MBS.
#Maddow
MBS boasted that during his Oct 2017 visit, Jared Kushner divulged Saudi figures disloyal to him – intel straight from the PDB. During MBS' NOV 2017 royal purge, "figures named in the PDB were among those rounded up; at least 1 was tortured."
#Maddow
OCT 2017: SoftBank, whose CEO has deep ties to Saudi Crown Prince MBS, lent $57M to Jared Kushner's family business for its troubled Jersey City project – the SAME month Jared took an unannounced trip to Riyadh & divulged classified intel to MBS.
#Maddow
Amid international uproar over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, some members of Saudi’s ruling family are agitating to prevent Crown Prince MBS from becoming king. Yet, Trump continues to stand by him. Is Trump covering for MBS or Jared?
#Maddow
During his OCT trip to Riyadh, Mike Pompeo reportedly hand-delivered a plan to the Saudi King and his son, Crown Prince MBS, outlining a roadmap to shield MBS from the fallout of the Jamal Khashoggi murder scandal.
#Maddow via @MiddleEastEye HT @RVAwonk bit.ly/2zkT9cU
When Pompeo declared on Oct. 18 that Saudi Arabia should be given “a few more days” to complete its investigation into the case, he was giving them time to begin implementing his plan, the source said.
OCT 18, 2018: Mike Pompeo claims the Saudis should have “a few more days” to “complete their 'investigation” [initiate Pompeo/Trump/Kushner's cover up plan], news breaks that a Saudi suspect in Khashoggi's murder had "died in a car crash."
@RVAwonk #Maddow
OCT 16: "Saudi Arabia delivers $100,000,000 pledged to the US as Pompeo lands in Riyadh."
NOV 19: "US Secretary of State Pompeo gave Crown Prince MBS a roadmap to insulate himself from the Khashoggi murder scandal." via @MiddleEastEye
@RVAwonk #Maddow
"As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo landed in Riyadh, $100M in Saudi cash landed in US accounts []." $100M in exchange for a roadmap on how to shield Crown Prince MBS from the fallout of the Khashoggi murder?

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 scapegoats general for assassination of #Khashoggi:

By royal decree, Ahmed Assiri has been removed from his post as a deputy intelligence chief.
This is insane.

The Saudis brought a BONE SAW with them.

“He got in a fight with 18 of our guys and accidentally died so then we totes had to cut up his body so we could transport his remains more easily.”

(KSA has not addressed the whereabouts of #Khashoggi in revealing the results of its “investigation.”)

#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

Trump made a catastrophic mistake in embracing another dictator, and all he can do is repeat the lies that got us here. Yes, he’s lying about his financial interests. But it’s his “FAKE NEWS” lie—his hatred for the press—that put a target on WaPo journalist Khashoggi’s back.
.@brianklaas: Saudis made a strategic calculation—based on Trump’s dictator worship, hate for the press & his financial interests— that Khashoggi murder was no BFD.

Looks spot on: Trump floats “rogue killers” disinfo. Pompeo flies to SA, thx King for “thorough investigation”🤔
Trump & Pompeo seem to be complicit in Saudi campaign to coverup Khashoggi’s murder—one of the most heinous crimes in recent memory. We hear the right words like “Punish” & “thorough investigation,” but they’re empty of their meaning. We saw this tactic in sham Kavanaugh probe.

Prince Dopey is behind the entrapment and murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

Why Crown Prince Bin Salman ever let Prince Dopey and his faction walk at the height of the coup which put him (Bin Salman) in power is baffling.

Think about all attacks past 18 months Dopey’s been tied to.
This whole thing is a calculated, well thought out, well executed set-up. The end goal is to force @realDonaldTrump to denounce Crown Prince Bin Salman (a reformist), which opens the door for Dopey and his faction to depose Bin Salman and regain power for old guard.
If this were to happen, Saudi Arabia would fall back into the hands of the old guard which carried out 9/11 with Mossad, MI6 and U.S. intel operatives aligned to HW/Cheney old guard (their “inner circle”).

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…
