1. @McFaul. Read the report again. There's a big difference between "kill or capture." Was his kidnapping in Istanbul a US federal crime? I don't think it was. And who taught the Saudis how conduct a rendition? Bush43 that's who. Why would MBS kill him in his consulate?
2. Looking at his killing as simple case of homicide, who had motive and opportunity to do it? Was it someone who would like to make MBS's life a mess? I'm no fan of the Saudi's but MBS was viewed as a reformer and Khashoggi was at best an Al-Qaeda sympathizer.
3. I just grew up in a family with people who did homicide investigations and learned to just do it by the numbers. And the numbers don't add up. Two world leaders had motive and opportunity for the killing. One was easy to fathom. Like playing checkers.
4. Spotting the other requires someone with an understanding of chess. And there's a video. It's being litigated against the CIA in a FOIA case in SDNY. We know who killed him and we said "kill or capture." Why?
