'I can't breathe.' Jamal Khashoggi's last words disclosed in transcript, source says

Source: CNN

CNN)"I can't breathe." These were the final words uttered by Jamal Khashoggi after he was set upon by a Saudi hit squad at the country's consulate in Istanbul, according to a source briefed on the investigation into the killing of the Washington Post columnist.

The transcript begins at the moment Khashoggi enters the Saudi consulate in a quiet residential district of Istanbul at lunchtime on October 2.

The transcript notes the noises that can be heard on the tape, almost in the manner that subtitles describe moments in movies where there is no dialogue.
"Scream.""Scream.""Gasping."Then, the transcript notes other descriptions."Saw.""Cutting."

But the lasting conclusion the source drew from the transcript is that Khashoggi's killing was a planned assassination by an organized team that carried out its job with ruthless efficiency, keeping someone in Riyadh informed at each step.

Maybe worse.






Accessory of murder:
A person who learns of the crime after it is committed and helps the criminal to conceal it, or aids the criminal in escaping, or simply fails to report the crime, is known as an "accessory after the fact".

This is freakin' HORRIFYING. Oh, but we can't bother our precious Saudi friends! Especially when we're only in it for their money.

Kushner spoke with the Prince about on his private phone. The CIA must be able to get hold of those records somehow.
