May Khashoggi rest in peace, and kudos to WaPo for publishing the article posthumously.

If I found one of my friends was a blood thirsty killer with an operating hit team, I might hide too.
Hard for me to see how Kashoggi’s murder isn’t a win for MBS and Trump. The Saudis just stonewall any serious investigation and Trump basically sits on his hands, making occasional stupid noises. Journalists are even more intimidated than they were before.
Really, really hope to be proven wrong on this.
An unforeseen consequence of the murder is that congress seems to have their panties in a bunch over it. They may actually do something, like sanctions or making a show of torpedoing the nonexistent $110 billion weapons deal. Would Fat Nixon sign a sanctions bill? I’m not holding my breath.
KSA’s silencing of the media is very, very similar to Russia’s. Both countries are idolized by our Piece of Shit in the WH.
Eliminating a free press is in the first chapter of Facism for Dummies.
