A bombshell new report suggests that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was directly involved in the cover-up of Jamal Khashoggi's murder.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hand-delivered a plan to the Saudi royal family to help the crown prince get away with ordering the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to a bombshell new report.

Citing a senior Saudi source, Middle East Eye reported Monday evening that Pompeo devised a plot to help shield Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ("MBS&quot from the fallout following the highly publicized murder of Khashoggi, who was brutally killed in the Saudi consulate in Turkey on October 2.

Pompeo reportedly discussed the plan with Saudi Arabia's king during a visit to the country's capital city, Riyadh, two weeks after Khashoggi's murder.

While the specific claims made by the source in the report have yet to be independently confirmed by other news outlets, the details align with previous extensive reporting on the Khashoggi scandal and the ensuing "damage control" efforts carried out by the Saudi regime.

These murderous dictators are our new best friends.

1. Kiss your Senate bid GOODBYE, Mikey!!!

Resign or be arrested, you corrupt piece of shit.

No one in Kansas should be seen voting for your ass.

[rustysgurl]

6. I know he won't get my vote ... n/t

[demtenjeep]

36. or mine

he can take his old army boots and shove them.



"remember his commercial with his wife and the boots" ?

[SlogginThroughIt]

15. Why should he not be arrested if he resigns?

I don’t understand that reply.

[Rebl2]

28. Wouldn't hold

my breath.

[ramblin_dave]

2. The article is a year old

I guess he got away with it.

[padah513]

3. Yeah

First time I've heard this though I don't doubt it.

[Maraya1969]

5. Justice delayed is......well it's good enough in this case.

[SWBTATTReg]

4. Yeah, and it's funny that Kushner went to SA too, just around that time frame (prior to K being...

killed). K was sent to let SA know of K's location, and P was sent to cover up the mess.

[Botany]

38. Kushner gave the Crown Prince a Presidential Daily Briefing paper that had to do with ...

... the US intel communities knowledge that Khashoggi was on the MBS hit list and
that was payback for the Saudis paying off the note on Kushner's real estate white
elephant on 666 5th Ave.

7. If someone can prove it.

[Captain Zero]

8. Of course this might not be a High Crime either.

There doesn't seem to be ANYTHING that is a High Crime.

[blueinredohio]

20. Not for republicans. It would only be a high crime if committed by a democrat.

[Grasswire2]

9. I don't know these sources. And look at the weasel language.

"While the specific claims made by the source in the report have yet to be independently confirmed by other news outlets....."

This may very well be true.

But be careful about running with it without confirmation from other news outlets.

[McKim]

23. Protect the Credibility of DU

This is fascinating speculation. And it sounds like it likely is true. I read something somewhere about Jared being involved in a cover up too. Still I hope that DU will mostly be a place for facts to live and I would not like DU to become less credible. I recommend DU because I believe in its integrity. This is a precious thing.

[duforsure]

10. How long before we know these answers

Did trump know and approve his murder
Was it done for trump
Was it a favor from the prince for trump giving the prince intel for rounding his opposition up
Did the CIA brief him before the murder was done they were planning this
Was Jared and pence involved too
Was their recorded phone call evidence of others in the White House involved
All records and documents should be requested now

[Texin]

11. This actually sounds like it's fake news. The article said it hadn't been verified/comfirmed.

Now, it sounds like something right down Team tRump's alley, but until I see it in the New York Times or the Washington Post, I'll take it with a grain of salt.

[OKNancy]

13. I just posted below.. article is from 2018

[OKNancy]

12. This is a year old Nov. 2018 n/t

[triron]

14. Pompeo probably did and Trump and Kushner probably were in on it as well.

Media would not go there regardless. Like Trump's treason.

[Moral Compass]

16. Didn't realize there was any question about this.

It was so obvious to me when Pompeo went to Saudi immediately after the story blew up that I assumed it was common knowledge that the Trump regime had leaped in to help MBS to weather the shit storm.

I just added it mentally to the growing list of unspeakable Trump atrocities.

Didn’t realize it needed proving or corroboration. Of course, Pompeo discussed the murder and offered US help. Anything for one of Trump’s creditors, right?

The overt corruption and that our global policy is utterly deformed by Trump business calculations is so obvious that I’m sometimes taken aback by these sorts of stories.

But I’m glad they’re being reported on. I keep hoping the burning revulsion I feel will spread to all but that lost 30-35% will forgive any crime committed by these human monsters.

[Zaphod42]

35. Yup

[stopdiggin]

17. Bombshell!! Year old news! No new information!

Pompeo discussed case with Saudi ruler weeks after it happened! Routine diplomatic stuff!

Pompeo devised a plot to help shield Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman

which obviously worked like a charm! because "hardly anybody" associated MBS with Khashoggi after that!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. MBS sacrificed 5 members of his body guard (death penalty). Gotta be good for morale. . . . nt

[leanforward]

19. May he rot in hades.

For sometime I've thought the silence from our executive cabal has been trying to hide the murder. This thread confirms for me.

For me, I hope anyone who is aware of inaction, or has maintained silence be disgraced and sidelined in Our Constitutional Democracy. I have no problem with providing these guys being provided with 3 hots and a cot in a group facility. I recently refreshed my memory (photos) of my past living conditions, a squad tent with pallets for flooring and mosquito netting.

[Sienna86]

21. If true, Pompeo is toast.

Kansans won’t want him for any role.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. Well

[SCVDem]

24. So you really want

The Federal Death penalty reinstated you piece of shit!?

[oldsoftie]

25. I'll buy this when i see it from a credible source. nt

[stopdiggin]

27. thing is, there is no there there

this is an allegation that a discussion took place. Did both governments have a plan of action on how to "manage" the news at this point (and probably long before this?)? You can be sure of it .. and it would have been expected from any reasonably competent political hack.

[Turbineguy]

26. Yeah.

An trump wants to present the Whistleblower a "1001 nights tour" too.

[zentrum]

29. The Saudi's now have

....everything they need to blackmail Pomp and Rump and Kush for the next 20 years.

Very dangerous for America, for NATO, for the world's efforts to fight oil.

[WhiteTara]

30. today trump said he wanted to pull out of NATO

How's that for a kick in the gut?

[keithbvadu2]

31. I make $40 million, $50 million from Saudi Arabia. I like them very much.

Trump, August 2015: I make $40 million, $50 million from Saudi Arabia. I like them very much.

... here are a few recent reactions on the subject:

[greyl]

33. Kick

[SayItLoud]

34. Follow the money:

Kushner us intel and tips MBS to those who our intel have identified as not being on his team. Arrests happen. Kushner Properties suddenly get MAJOR lease on their devil building 666 Park Av. which saves the Kushner Company from bankruptcy. Saudi Arabia pushes forward with the IPO of the oil fields which will yield a Trillion+ $'s .

If you don't think tRUMP and Kushner and Pompeo have had their greedy grifting eyes on that IPO, well, Just Sayin... Follow the money never lets you down.

[Zaphod42]

37. Yep, always follow the $$

[Danascot]

39. This article cites speculation about Kushner's role in Khashoggi's murder

and a lot of other interesting things.

According to Cockburn’s source about the seven whistleblowers, there’s more. It is that Kushner (allegedly) gave the green light to MBS to arrest the dissident journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, who was later murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. A second source tells Cockburn that this is true and adds a crucial twist to the story. This source claims that Turkish intelligence obtained an intercept of the call between Kushner and MBS. And President Erdogan used it to get Trump to roll over and pull American troops out of northern Syria before the Turks invaded. A White House official has told the Daily Mail that this story is ‘false nonsense’. However, Cockburn hears that investigators for the House Intelligence Committee are looking into it. Who knows whether any of this is true…but Adam Schiff certainly seems to be smiling a lot these days.
