For those who have been following Jamal #Khashoggi's case--

Back in October, senators triggered the process for possible sanctions on Mohammed Bin Salman. They gave the Trump admin 120 days to respond re: MBS's role.

Trump admin has not responded.

The deadline is tomorrow.
More background on the possible Magnitsky sanctions for MBS: #khashoggi: politi.co/2r0pscJ
If the Trump admin helps Mohammed bin Salman evade consideration for sanctions, it will only enable MBS’ brutality.

After murdering Saudi Arabia’s most prominent journo and a @washingtonpost writer, what would stop MBS from murdering other members of the US press? #khashoggi
Outrageously, @ForeignPolicy put Mohammed Bin Salman on it’s 2019 list of “Global Thinkers”...

The only global list MBS belongs on is a list of persons under U.S sanctions.

The Saudis are trying to save face.

In the last piece I edited for Jamal #Khashoggi before he was murdered by the Saudi regime, he wrote about Saudi Arabia’s failures and inability to contain Iran in Yemen.

He called for KSA to end the “cruel war”.

Here’s what Jamal #Khashoggi, a well-placed former insider, had to say about Saudi Arabia’s misguided efforts in Yemen.

This was his last piece we worked on together before he was killed.

washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/g…
Jamal #Khashoggi wrote not only of the staggering loss of life in Yemen, but of the fact that Saudi Arabia has been borrowing to finance its disastrous war in Yemen.

Good morning!

Per Congressional request, President Trump’s admin has until *today* to report on Saudi Crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman’s role in Jamal #khashoggi’s killing.

Today, we will see if Trump will let Saudi Arabia get away with murdering a @washingtonpost writer.
The CIA determined in November that MBS ordered #khashoggi’s murder.

Last night, the New York Times reported that intercepted communications revealed that the Saudi Crown prince wanted to “use a bullet” on Jamal as early as 2017.

nytimes.com/2019/02/07/us/…
Our country has convicted people of murder on much less evidence than what we have on Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. #khashoggi

This is INSANE. --> After Khashoggi's murder, "Mr. Kushner has offered the crown prince advice about how to weather the storm, urging him to resolve his conflicts around the region and avoid further embarrassments." nyti.ms/2zLH8xu
The better way for Saudi Arabia to “weather the storm” —

—Is to pick another leader that, uh, doesn’t kidnap prime ministers, help create humanitarian disasters, torture women activists in prison, or kill and dismember journalists.

Mohammed bin Salman should go.
Another important part of this story is the role of the UAE in promoting and supporting MBS, as well as the role of the UAE ambassador to Washington.

The UAE’s own repression goes under the radar, in no small part due to how much Emirati money flows into D.C.

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 and @IvankaTrump met with murderer Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman on the sidelines of a leaders meeting at the G20 summit.

They knew.

They knew he ordered that a Washington Post Journalist be dismembered with a saw while he was still alive
The world will NEVER forget that @IvankaTrump and Kushner have a continuing relationship with a brutal murderer

Never let them back into society.

#Khashoggi was dismembered will still alive. Trump refuses to listen to the gruesome audio

These people are monsters
Saudi crown prince bragged that Jared Kushner gave him CIA intelligence about other Saudis saying 'here are your enemies' days before 'corruption crackdown' which led to torture & death

Saudis gave @IvankaTrump 100 million for her "women's power iniative"

Blood on their hands

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…
