Yeah, Canada and Europe are good for maybe a few pithy comments as they continue selling shit to the Saudis and buying their oil. I almost am sort of OK with Trump being blatant about the fact that we haven't ever nor will we ever give a shit. 9/11 should have dispelled that myth.
If anything, they already have a fall guy set up. Hell, Trump already tried to peddle that it was "rogue assassins."
Jesus Christ if you're gonna assassinate someone at least put a bullet in their head and be done with it, sick Fucks. Not sure how the people who did it or ordered it can even sleep at night.
And yeah the absolutel worse I'm expecting from the US is a "strong" condemnation. It's up to other countries.

His Apple Watch was recording audio and it was cloud synced supposedly
Either that of Turkey bugged the consulate.
It's not totally unheard of (dismembering while alive). I mean you have cases where people get disembowled and have acid etc poured in while still alive and tldr: people are super duper evil/fucked up & cruel.
Wow. So obviously someone else would have had access to his iCloud account?
I would be shocked to learn that a consulate in the 21st century is not a dead zone.
Trump would dispute it's legitimacy, say its doctored by someone like he claims the pussy grabbing tape is.
i wouldn't be surprised if it was a cover story and they had the consulate bugged
This wasn't just a murder they wanted this poor man to suffer all because he dared criticize the Saudi government. Sickening. 7 minutes. Fucking pussies.
I wouldn't be surprised if the stuff they injected him wasn't a paralytic agent but instead some kind of pain magnifier...
This doesn't seem likely to me. An apple watch isn't some unknown article of clothing that cave dwelling thugs would miss as they go about quartering this poor man. These cretins are well paid and probably educated. I don't see them missing a recording device on a journalist's wrist
Probably a combination of moles and bugging equipment, but Turkey won't want to give up their sources easily
Guy is so fucking predictable. As soon as he said they strongly deny it but we'll see, the writing was on the wall.
People need to show up to vote in the midterms.
Word is there is video as well so it seems pretty likely at this point turkey had the consulate bugged and the iCloud audio is just cover
I thought they had video too.
Turkey bugged their consulate seems more likely.
And don't forget his only crime was reporting the truth.
They chopped him up like butchers meat for it. This admin knows what happened in that consulate and they've most likely watched/heard the recordings.
Yet they continue to play dumb and their base will believe it because that's their team...
I'm disgusted.

He was a journalist who had become critical of the royal family.
It was pretty much a message/revenge hit, and I believe they felt emboldened to do it by Trump's shitty rhetoric towards the press.
Thats giving Trump too much credit. This kind of stuff has clearly been happening with countries like SA for a long time. They just finally got caught doing it. I don't think Trump's rhetoric has any influence on whether or not the leader of SA wants a guy killed or not.
He was a Saudi reporter who worked with WaPo who had been critical of the Saudi government. He was living in the US in self imposed exile but went to the Saudi consulate in Turkey to get marriage documents.
His wife had his phone, sooo...
Reports are they found it after the fact (during the dismembering, no doubt) and tried to stop/disable it, but it's obviously too late at that point.
I was thinking the same thing and even had to edit down my post because I didn't want to come off as insensitive considering a person died.
The person who dismembered the journalist knew what he was doing. He knew Khashoggi was going to be screaming in pain and I wouldn't doubt if he knew where and how to cut to keep this poor man alive for as long as possible.
It's hard to say what I want to say next because I would rather if Khashoggi didn't have to be murdered to begin with I just wish it was more humane or painlessly then being dismembered alive. If that makes sense.
It is so sad that stuff like this happens all the time and usually under the guise of national security. Countries do this to their own citizens and many times to citizens of other countries. Kidnappings, camps, torture and killings. Imagine all the incidents we don't hear about. Each time it comes out, these countries just use a different excuse to justify it.
He listens to music "everytime" he does "this"?
How often does he murder people for his government??

Permanent US resident who writes for the Washington post is brutally tortured and murdered at an embassy?
"Reports" are mainly Turkish sources. I highly doubt Erdogan wants to burn his sources until he has to. Keeping the 'how' of the recording as muddied as possible serves to lead Saudi intelligence in multiple directions. Maybe it's 15 assassins' fuckup; maybe it's a leak; maybe it's bugs. But it's hard to conduct a counter-intelligence assessment when the embassy is hot and your hit men's identities are all over Gulf news
