Sorry, but this Khashoggi business doesn’t add up. As much as FakeNews would like to assign CIA ‘findings’ that make the President look bad, the reality is VERY different.

First, as noted before, Khashoggi wasn’t a ‘journalist’…he was a terrorist sympathizer. (FakeNews can pound the ‘journalist’ drum, but it doesn’t mean that makes him one.)

Second, seems all the information about his demise comes from a Turkish government that is profoundly anti-Saudi royal family, and aren’t happy with our President either.

Third, the Turkish government aligns with Middle East foreign actors in direct and covert opposition to American interests which the existing Saudi government supports. 

Fourth, political hacks trying to shape policy in the CIA are the ones making noise. (It isn’t the CIA’s job to keep media informed – their job is to keep our President informed.)

Put bluntly, the CIA works for the Executive branch – any information that leaks which makes their boss look bad places the leakers squarely in the anti-Trump column, which means they’re a) hyper-partisan, and b) politically undermining the Executive branch.

Let’s review: we have 1) TURKISH video footage of Khashoggi entering, 2) TURKISH recordings of the so-called incident, 3) TURKISH findings of Saudi malfeasance, and 4) FakeNews carrying that TURKISH water as long as possible to hurt the President.

Turkey, as noted already, is openly and rabidly anti-Saudi royal family. Nothing would make the Turkish gov’t happier than effectively undermining Crown Prince Salman.

So, sure – Color BlueCollar…SKEPTICAL. 

Besides…

…it’s decidedly odd that the same CIA vilified by media for confirming Iraq had WMDs is now considered omniscient – by media – when it comes to the Khashoggi matter.

(All this doesn’t mean the Saudi rulers are squeaky clean. But you can Google historic acts of even more factual violations during the Obama era, that went unreported.)

Their human rights violations are a matter of record…but this is a manufactured crisis, and it’s sickening that any American would go to such an extent to keep it alive.
