Jamal Khashoggi: Trump suggests 'rogue killers' to blame

Post by FlyingPenguin »

What kind of stupid does he think we are? "Rogue killers" INSIDE THE SAUDI CONSULATE?

Aaaannnnddd.... The Saudis, after defiantly claiming for 18 days that Khashoggi left the consulate unharmed, and taking offense at all these accusations, now they admit he DID die in there, but only because he (a 60 year old man) entered the consulate and started a fist fight. Maybe he started the fist fight when they started chopping off his fingers?

Amid skepticism, Saudi official provides another version of Khashoggi death

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Something a bit closer to the truth I'd guess, except one has to ask why a forensic expert was included in a team that was only supposed to convince him to return to Saudi Arabia.

Funny coincidence they just happened to have a body double there who left wearing the guy's clothes (but forgot to change his shoes).

You know, the thing that stands out for me that no one has commented on, is that the Saudis have publicly admitted that they have a guy in Turkey ON SPEED DIAL who they can rely on to dispose of dead bodies.... You know, just in case.

Saudi Arabia now admits Khashoggi killing was 'premeditated'

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Yeah, well, I'd say that packing a bone saw pretty much indicated it was premeditated. They're going to throw the hit squad under the bus, publicly anyway, but everyone knows something like this doesn't happen in Saudi Arabia without orders from the top.

So far they have gone from "What? No, that never happened" To "We are not sure whats happened" to "He accidentally died in a fistfight" to "There was premeditated murder"

Uh huh. You dont say. And these assholes had the gall to do this to one of his sons:
