Congress should pass a Khashoggi Act for Saudi Arabia like the Magnitsky Act was for Russia

[Hamlette]

Russia is so pissed off by the Magnitsky Act they went to a whole lot of work, including getting in bed with trash like Trump to get rid of it.

Congress could do the same for the 12+ people involved in the murder of Khashoggi. I'm thinking other countries would follow suit.

1. The EU is now looking at a Magnitski Act of their own

I bet Turkey would be the first to sign on for an EU Khashoggi Act.

2. The Magnitsky act could be applied to the matter of the Khashoggi's murder

It is only the internal decision-making process of the Trump administration which is preventing its application.

3. The Magnitsky Act applies to every country and has already been used for Khashoggi's Death

There is, however, a glaring omission from the list.

and yes, one glaring omission.

4. You say "12+" people involved. Why not the entire Saud family until they go before the UNICJ?

Let them argue their case with the full world justice system.

Until then, house arrest. No travel, no collusion with trump/putin.

If I don't come out alive from this post, alert some authorities.

6. see below:

"In 2016, Congress enacted the Global Magnitsky Act which allows the US Government to sanction foreign government officials implicated in human rights abuses anywhere in the world"


How far we've come in such a short time
