Jamal Khashoggi

[BobKowalski]

Linsey Graham has come out and said he's seen the Intel and they should act on it. Trump is playing a deaf un. "I might call them" his reply when asked.

His treasury secretary is still going over there for a conference that many media outlets have refused to go in protest.

Had a quick look and it seems they have triggered the Act by writing to Trump insisting he take action. Trump has 120 days to act otherwise Congress will take action. This happened with the last round of Russian sanctions which Trump moaned about but couldn’t stop it happening.

Let's see how this all unfolds.

Not the first time they have done it to their own nationals or a foriegner (the story of the lebanese prime minister is crazy)

Give a few weeks and all the world leaders that constantly turn a blind eye to the saudis will stop talking about it.

Of course, Donald is not a fan of the free press, if such a thing exists. This man was a significant journalist, exposing political issues and human rights' abuses. Donald would not have been a fan but will now have to deal with the fact that Khashoggi's voice was muted, permanently.

It would appear that Trump is now blaming rogue Saudis for the alleged murder after Saudi Arabia threatened a strong response to any sanctions. Wouldn't want to upset King Salman and jeopardise the $110bn arms deal with his "severe consequences". He's sent Pompeo out there to agree a cover story that will stop him having to do anything at all.

Yet it looked to me like the Saudis have had the place virtually bleached clean before the Turkish investigators were allowed in.
Yeah, ‘course is was a rogue.

He changed his tune over deals and money - why is anyone surprised?

And people still think he will do us a good turn in trade talks.............................ffs

The Saudis are about to announce they killed them due an "interrogation that went wrong" according to CNN

I've heard better fibs from Mourinho.
