Possible Saudi Fall Guy For Jamal Khashoggi Also Trump Camp Middle Man | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC


Rachel Maddow points out reporting by David Ignatius that Maj. Gen. Ahmed al-Assiri, the deputy chief of Saudi intelligence, may be a possible scapegoat for the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, and notes that al-Assiri was also the point of contact in Saudi Arabia's offers of help to the Trump campaign, currently part of Robert Mueller's investigation.

1. My prediction

There will be a fall guy, probably several. If Gen. Ahmed al-Assiri, then he and a few others will be convicted in Saudi Arabia and beheaded. A few more will be sentenced to prison for 20 years, but pardoned after 2 or years after Trump is out of office and it all "blows over." MSB will make secret payments to families to buy their silence.

2. It's pretty bad isn't it,

when we can guess the cover up in advance. This top rated forensic expert who wielded the bone saw may get to see how the saw works from the other end.

If these guys are good friends of MBS I will go with your option of prison time with a quiet pardon later on.

I was disgusted watching Pompeo yuck it up with MBS and then when asked about the meeting saying that no details were discussed and the U.S. is waiting for SA to investigate itself. So did they discuss the 100 million dollars that got shipped to the U.S.? Wonder what fund that went into? The wall?

3. I'm guessing a down payment to the war machine for more weapons

4. more over, the fall guy and any others that are "blamed" will have probably been...

people the prince has been wanting to get rid of for a while.

so it's a win-win for the crooked prince. he gets the fall guy and he gets to clean house.
