Why did the journalist have to travel to that particular embassy for a marriage license? Why couldnt he get one in the US? Did someone send him there, knowing what was about to happen?
The whole thing seems like a set-up for murder.

But he was told he would have to return and arranged to come back on 2 October.
"He did not believe that something bad could happen on Turkish soil," his fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, wrote in the Washington Post.

(21,421 posts)i assume you can't charge someone as an accessory, and convict them, unless you first prove somehow that the "murderer" is indeed the murderer.
So since MBS is never going to stand trial here, and obviously not in Saudi Arabia, can you charge Kushner as an accessory without having proven in a court of law the MBS was the murderer? Or can a legal argument be made that MBS called for the murder in his absence in a USA court and kushner advised him how to cover it up?
