(1,997 posts)is that they have made a science of hiding atrocities built on many centuries of crimes against humanity. This is the same reason we will never know for sure the extent of Russian involvement in our elections.
While physical evidence of a murder may be found, its a certainty that all communications and electronic evidence trails have been wiped clean. In this particular case, the perpetrators did not plan on the victim wearing his Apple Watch, which transmitted audio of his murder. Even so, an audio recording is unlikely to convict individual people, particularly since they are being shielded by the royal family.

Coalition of Free Press Advocates Taking On Trump
From the article........
Others in the media cannot help but take notice that an angry president may strike back. When we have consulted our members, writers and journalists working across the U.S., they have told us they take into account in their writing that criticism of the administration might put them at risk. Many media outlets and correspondents are pressing forward fearlessly, making this a heyday for certain types of hard-hitting coverage. But individual writers, especially without the protection of a big media company, may think twice before publishing pieces that could land them in the White Houses crosshairs. Moreover, while intrepid journalists may be willing to work under threat from the highest levels of their government, here in the United States they should never have to.
Curtailing the presidents violations of the First Amendment is unlikely to halt some of its most dangerous ripple effects. The last few months have brought violent attacks on journalists, some clearly inspired by the presidents invective. In August a man was arrested for threatening to murder Boston Globe journalists parroted the presidents enemy of the people language. White House radio reporter April Ryan, the New York Times Bret Stephens, CNNs Andrew Kaczynzki and others have received death threats.
President Trumps tirades against the press are by now routine, and may seem to fit right in with our no-holds-barred culture of polarized punditry and bluster. But the president of the United States isnt just another talking head. It is vital that courts weigh in to underscore that no matter what a given president may think and say, a free press is an essential pillar of our democracy. A court could affirm that by reminding President Trump that his freedom of speech does not extend to threatening to use the powers of his office against the press.
Our news media is right to keep their heads down, ignore the insults and remain focused on journalism. But that shouldnt mean the presidents First Amendment violations go unchallenged. It is up to those of us who depend upon a free press to rise in defense of it.
