So, lawyer-ly types; If Jared K. gave Prince Bonesaw a classified hit list, and people on that list who might have been legal permanent U.S. residents were subsequently targeted and killed, would that make JK an accessory to murder?

Lucky for Cheeto, he sold them 45th floor of his tower three months before they brought down WTC, so he could brag about then having the tallest building in Manhattan.

I've been trying to figure that out. I've got a couple of guesses.

1) Turkey is worried (or knows/suspects it's already happening) that the Saudis, as part of their cold war are aiding Kurdish dissidents in Iran. They really don't want the Kurds encouraged to rebel as it might spread to them.

2) There's almost certainly Saudi money flowing to ISIS. The Syrian refugee crisis is a huge problem for Turkey, straining both their resources and their relationship with Europe.

3) The Saudi's general flirtations with various extremists probably influences or finances a few groups in Turky that oppose Erdogan.

So payback/pushback for the above. Add to that they killed the guy in Turkey using diplomatic passports. It's not that Turkey minds killing journalists per se, but dictators don't generally like other sovereign states, even other friendly dictators, assassinating people in their country (at least without asking first).

Traitor's faith in the validity of investigations and their findings (Kavanaugh, Khashoggi) is touching. I can't wait to see his unwavering faith in the results of an in-depth investigation when the Mueller report comes out.

“According to an IBT analysis of State Department and foundation data, during the three full years of Clinton's tenure as secretary of state (FY 2010-12), the department approved commercial arms sales worth a total of $165 billion to twenty nations whose governments had given to the foundation — nearly double the total sales to those countries approved in FY 2006-08”

Are these Hillary’s Saudi’s??? The ones that donated tens of millions to her foundation? It’s a fair question...
