Ignoring evidence of Khashoggi’s gruesome murder, Present Trump rushed to defend his friend, Crown Prince Mohammed (MBS). Both Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo and President Trump accepted verbal assurances from MBS that he had no knowledge of the killing and would conduct a thorough investigation. Oh really? The alleged perpetrator investigates his own crime? As the president went to bat for his Saudi pals, more details have emerged that paints a grisly picture of what actually happened. Turkish findings differ significantly from Trump’s rosy narrative. Mr. Khashoggi wasn’t interrogated. He was beaten up, drugged, and dismembered by a mafia style Saudi hit squad. The message to other Saudi dissidents was stark. If you persist apposing or criticizing the autocratic Crown Prince Mohammed you will suffer a similar fate. Let us see if President Trump follows through on his promise to unleash severe consequences on those responsible for Khashoggi‘s gruesome murder.
