Saudi Prosecutor Seeks Death Penalty For 5 Suspects In Khashoggiās Killing
And theyāre all dissidents.
I assume Mohammed bin Salman isnāt one of them. Maybe someone should ask Jared Kushner what he thinks about all this, amazing how Trumpās advisors are almost never interviewed about anything nor ever appear in the news.
Totally did not see this coming, said no one ever.
Goshā¦thatās one way to shut them up for ratting out the Prince. Iāll lay odds that Donnie will start tweeting about how āstrongā the Saudis are for being allowed to kill those ādissidentsāā¦
Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir:
Sometimes mistakes happen ā¦ sometimes people exceed their authority
Ya THINK??? They were the police, prosecutor, judge, and executioners.
There is NO WAY that the Saudis were unaware of this action at the highest levelā¦ what they were unaware of is that they would get CAUGHT
SA is as good at making up stories as the Trump administration is. The difference is that MBS will get away with murder. Trump wonāt.
Mr. Bone Saw is the one who should receive the death penalty, if anybody.
Now they areā¦
In exchange for the death penalty, Saudi Arabia will just enroll them in pilot training.
Dead men tell no tales.
To which Donald Trump replied āYou can do that??ā
What a fucking farce.
The Saudi state rules with an authoritarian bent and executes people all the timeā¦this kind of activity is routineā¦probably a matter of convenience to dispose of the people they have targeted.
Were these 5 even IN Turkey?
If the world didnāt need Saudi oil we wouldnāt be talking about this.
Give up on 19th Century tech- and OPEC!
Best way to deal with PR problems after you murder somebody is to murder 5 more peopleā¦
Nobody is going to be executed for the crime, at least not anyone thatās actually guilty. First rule of Governing: You do not punish the people that do the actual dirty work for the regime, you might have trouble finding to do it in the future, or you might get a bunch of assassins really angry at you. Thatās why torturers of the Bush regime all got away scot-free, not touched by the Obama administration, rewarded by the Trump one. Thatās also the reason that killer cops rarely gets punished.
Some of the assassins will be convicted and sentenced to death, but in practice they will put in a comfortable cell, payments will made to the families, get furloughs on weekends and for family functions, when the dust settle they will be reincorporated to their ādutiesā. All assassins, torturers and assorted regime thugs will know that the King has their back and be grateful to their master.
Thereās an old Saudi saying, āDead men tell no talesā.
U.S. diplomatic response: As long as a few heads roll, weāre good. Doesnāt really matter which ones. Just keep the oil flowing!
Ouch.
