Translation: He is dead, killed at the embassy, but via rogue individuals that has nothing to do with direct orders from MBS.

Take it to the bank.

I guess this means he went home in a diplomatic bag after all.

Why is the media all over the apparent murder of this Saudi reporter in Turkey? I mean to the point they are imploring the President to do something about it. The guy is not a U.S. citizen. I mean we should condemn the Saudi's actions if they are responsible but the media seems like they want us to invade the KSA because of this.

He was a WaPo contributor and big supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, which has a lot of ties to the Dems.

So a large hit squad forged Saudi diplomatic passports, made it through Turkish customs with it, were allowed into the Saudi consulate no questions asked, etc etc etc.

The Saudi most likely killed him, very little doubt about it. I am just telling you what's going to happen.

BTW, That journalist was not a Saint, Strong Islamist supporter, only turned when they kicked him out. Not our Business.

There is so much that does not add up in this story no one will ever know the truth but one thing I am certain about is this had zero to do with journalism.

How many factions are there with power in the royal family?

I know the current crown prince is on one side and the more Wahabbist princes are on the other side.

There others in play here?

So there is a large Saudi hit squad running around countries killing people but MbS doesn’t know nuthin and dindu nuthin. Got it.

What you seem to be predicting is that they did it but you think it will be swept under the rug. Accurate?

They do.

Because then they can blame Trump for starting an unnecessary war. It's kinda what they do. But Trump is a little better at the game than they are.

Everyone should be concerned when governments begin killing unfriendly journalists. Trump said the same last night in his 60 minutes interview.

They know this is a tricky situation for Trump to handle. If Trump goes too light on Saudi Arabia they can paint this as Trump doesn't care about human rights and violence against the press. If Trump goes too hard on Saudi Arabia they can claim Trump risked relationships with one of the leading U.S. allies in the Middle East against Iran over one journalist.
