Two things Erdogan said we didn’t know:

• Before #Khashoggi’s visit, a diplomat at the Consulate left Turkey and travelled to Saudi Arabia. (Sabah reported today that it was Abdullah Almuzaini, Saudi Station Chief in Istanbul)
• They removed the security system hard disk
Erdoğan:

• One day before the murder, a Saudi team explores Istanbul Belgrad Forest and coastal city Yalova.
• We couldn’t immediately search the Consulate because of the Vienna Convention.
Important to note that Erdogan addresses King Salman repeatedly as “custodian of the two holy mosques” and “his majesty”

Erdogan says Consul General was sacked following his criticism of his disregard and imcompetent handling of the situation

#1: I have the right to ask for what I want.
You are allowed to ask. You don't have to mind-read beforehand to make sure the answer will be yes. You don't have to swallow everything you want or like or need. Sure, it's possible the answer will be "no," but you can prepare for that possibility. It's not wrong to ask.
