The Saudi regime “seriously curtailed and undermined” the Turkish investigation into the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, according to a UN human rights expert looking into the case.

Agnes Callamard, a UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, said the Saudi dissident and Washington Post columnist was the victim of a “brutal, premeditated killing planned and perpetrated by officials of the state of Saudi Arabia”.

Khashoggi was lured into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on the promise of being given documents that would help him remarry. Inside he was suffocated and then his body was dismembered, according to a Turkish investigation.

In a preliminary report, Callamard said that she had heard “parts of the chilling and gruesome audio material obtained and retained by the Turkish intelligence agency”.

1. Such good friends.

[Achilleaze]

2. And the KGOP republicans applauded the Saudi coverup of truth

Because republicans routinely piss all over the truth.

3. The little bastard probably green-lighted it

"You sure eees ok, Shah-red?"

"Like I always tell Ivanka when she asks me if she can sleep with her daddy: Go for it!"

4. Murderers. Those involved and those covering it up. Like what the so called golden boy is doing.

What a poor and tacky representation by Jared K. who was either just there or went immediately there after (I think it was before) but I could be wrong. This clearly shows where rump's and JK's loyalty is...money, 'the acquisition at all cost' money. Not the USA, not the American people, not freedom and those who carry one of the most important pillars of that freedom, the press which Khashoggi was a member of (Wash. Post).

Why hasn't rump demanded any answers recently? Why hasn't he responded more forcibly? Who got paid off here in this whole sad mess? Want to make a guess?
