Did anyone else see the PBS Newshour interview on the Magnitsky Act? I'm looking forward to seeing if it gains any traction in this case. We can only hope. I'm so tired of the men in my government appearing to be hopelessly castrated by a con man.

Here's a bit about it from Al Jazeera:
What is the Magnitsky Act? How does it apply to Khashoggi's case?
Senators trigger act requiring Trump to determine if foreign person committed rights violations against the Saudi writer
After the disappearance of prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, US Senators triggered the terms of the Global Magnitsky Act, which requires the president to investigate and determine if a foreign person is responsible for a extrajudicial killing, torture or other gross violation of internationally recognised human rights.
In a letter, signed by a bipartisan group of 22 Senators on Wednesday, Bob Corker, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, demanded President Donald Trump probe any violations committed against Khashoggi.
The writer disappeared on October 2 after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to obtain documents needed to get married. Turkish police believe Khashoggi was killed inside the consulate, according to a number of media outlets, citing unnamed Turkish sources. Saudi officials maintain Khashoggi left the consulate before disappearing.
