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

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

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.

Let this sink in...

Kush urged Trump to stand by MBS, & argued that outrage over Khashoggi’s brutal murder “will pass, like the kidnapping of Lebanon’s PM & the killing of a busload of children by a Saudi airstrike.

📌WH had TS SIGINT in advance of killing.
💣Complicit2💣

Saudi Arabia is putting money in Trump’s pocket. Is that shaping U.S. policy?

"It certainly looks that way to me," Trump said as he departed from Joint Base Andrews. "It's very sad. Certainly looks that way."

📌Rumor has it MBS & Kush chat via WhatsApp! #SIGINT
💣Complicit3💣

📌CT:”Trump (& some adult family) negotiated a deal w/ the Saudis and the Emiratis for 3.6 billion to get rid of Iran nuclear deal & reimpose sanctions.

The payment was made in two installments.

📌The first last year & the second earlier in 2018”

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

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…

 Once again @jrezaian in his latest @WashingtonPost piece proves he is only concerned about the interests of #Iran’s regime, and not the people.
washingtonpost.com/news/global-op…
(2)
 “At the event, called 'Supporting Iranian Voices,' Mike Pompeo signaled a US commitment to support efforts to undermine Iran’s clerical regime.”
@jrezaian signals his concern, the mullahs' fate, not mentioning how they’ve brought suffering to the people of Iran & the region.
(3)
 @jrezaian says he wanted to see “which Iranian voices would Pompeo be supporting?”
Yet nowhere in his piece does he mention how @SecPompeo specifically said to the Iranian people that the Trump administration hears you and stands with you.
