In the call, which occurred before the kingdom publicly acknowledged killing Khashoggi, the crown prince urged Kushner and Bolton to preserve the U.S.-Saudi alliance and said the journalist was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group long opposed by Bolton and other senior Trump officials.

Both Trump kids and Fox News talkers were more than happy to repeat these smears too.

And I have no doubt that Kushner helped to set up Khashoggi too.

Call someone an Islamist or a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or a member of al Qaeda, or all three, and Trumpists (who don't know f*ck-all about anything and can't be bothered to learn, research, or even ask useful questions) will green-light any execution.

Sounds like they definitely are in consultation with the White House and Trump.....
This is simply beyond disgusting....
