Virginia Heffernan,@page88, 6h6 hours ago
Just now realizing: Khashoggi was banned in KSA was not because he was critical of Mohammad bin Salman, the devastation of Yemen, Wahhabism, or the Salafi movement. It was because, ON NOVEMBER 10, 2016, in DC, Khashoggi mildly criticized...Donald Trump.

(51,615 posts)1. Someone posted a video last night of the journalist speaking in
2016. He had a negative opinion of tRump and spoke of it often. I am almost certain that Jared gave Bin Salman the journalist's name when he gave an "enemy list" to him last year.

I heard about it on different cable news programs (CNN and MSNBC) and their panel guests and pundits for a while now. Not until the journalist was murdered did I give it much attention but now I sure do!

He gave MBS confidential CIA intel in the form of a hit list. Why is he not rotting away in a prison cell right now?

(19,864 posts)4. It's more of what the Saudi's will do for him -- they will line his pockets with $$ for their
agenda - buying American weapons of war. That's my guess.
