I’ve run out of storage space on my hard drive. Which iteration is this?
His walking out of the consulate was also planned. Then someone said “Hey, we could kill him instead.” Kill him, let him walk, kill him, let him walk. What’s a rogue assassin to do?
Saudi Arabia’s New Story: Khashoggi’s Death Was Planned
It was planned, executed and covered up by the Crown Prince’s thugs and lackeys behind his back with him ever getting a word about it. Tell you not even royal super-billionaires can get good help anymore.
The good news is that they have promised never to get caught with a laughably false cover story ever again.
So they do have that going for them, which is nice …
This heinous crime should result in severe sanctions levied, if not for the $17 trillion in arms sales at stake and the 41 million Americans needing employed to fulfill the contracts.
Getting closer! Now, all we need is to add in the Prince ordering the assassination, and we’re home.
It’s starting to feel like MbS’s position (hell, maybe his personal safety) is actually in danger. Wouldn’t that be wild.
Not sure … have they got to 'He came at us, bro. and 'Look out, he’s got a GUB"?
Also, this KINDA looks like a big shift but is it really? It’s still got MbS playing the “Shocked, I way, I’m shocked”, and even then there’s still the ‘Will no one rid me of this meddlesome journalist?’ line.
Wondering now when they start claiming deathbed confessions from the Gang of 15, secured from each just before he accidentally succumbed to sudden brain, heart, lung stoppage due to a latent genetic disorder each never told anyone about before.
This isn’t the end, or the beginning of the end, or even the end of the beginning. This is a ;plot looking for development into a cable series.
Dumbest.
Cover-up.
EVER.
Next iteration - he barged into the consulate and performed a tricky and unnecessarily showy suicide in order to make Saudi Arabia look bad.
Khashoggi’s Death Was Planned
Wow you can’t get anything past these Saudi investigators!
I’ve kind of lost track but think it might be close to 6 or 7.
Sounds like they’re closer to the truth as long as they dismiss the “rogue elements”. Whether there will be any price to pay for the Saudis I’m dubious. Will all of those gazillion dollar military contracts get canceled, will the Saudis have to close their embassy here, I really doubt it.
Saudi Arabia’s Maxwell Smart strategy goes into overdrive.
For once, a country more despotic, clumsy, disorganized, and a laughingstock among civilized nations than Trump’s America. He should be happy, unfortunately, he’s going to try to top this.
That being said, I don’t know if KSA is routinely locking up little kids as a policy.
Now if only they could figure out who planned it.
So we’ve moved on to Stage 5: The Pee Wee Herman Defense…
Tomorrow’s version: we were only trying to fake his death, but the stunt bonesaw went wrong.
Which stage of grief is this? Have we hit acceptance now?
How many people have been killed on the Prince’s orders prior to this? This is only news because of who he was.
Is MBS going to throw up his hands in 2 weeks and say, “OK, you got me.”
