....knowing that Khashoggi had not been seen leaving the consulate?

Especially with surveillance likely picking up the phone transmission in real time?

1. Catch and release? See

where they go and who they contact?

2. Happened too fast to react? Stopping them would have immediately set up international

incident/crisis. It would have been hard to risk that until it was obvious that Khashoggi was truly "missing".

3. Why would Shrub allow members of the Royal Family of SA fly out of the U.S. the

day after 9/11? Same answer.

4. does anyone think that SA and USA are above paying a giant ransom to Turkey to

keep this quiet?

That's what's going on...not investigations, not the truth. Negotiations.

5. it takes time

for that to go from some dude doing the actual surveillance up the levers of power to someone who has the ability to actually do something. That likely takes more than a day.

There's a reason those cats left the same day.

6. Could be they were gone before anyone suspected that he was missing.

7. The 15 Saudis probably had diplomatic passports

Turkey could not stop them from leaving in that case.

8. One appears to be 'diplomatic', and one was 'special', but most looked to be just normal

10. Letting Saudi's go is a lucrative business.

[wiggs]

11. Something's wrong with the whole story. Too stupid and pointless and risky

for SA, the crown prince, Trump, and oligarchs everywhere. Scheme by Turkey to blackmail the US? Scheme by SA and Trump to polish their victimhood after Koshoggi shown alive after the supposed incident? Fake story to detract from other scandals? Why was Lindsey suddenly all for accountability?

Just doesn't add up, yet.

14. I have to agree

None of this makes any sense, yet.

12. Good question.

13. We're the last country to ask that

15. 1. Because Turkey doesn't give a shit

They have their own press suppression campaign in full effect
