House Intel Dem claims Jared Kushner may have given Saudis an assassination ‘enemies list’
Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) on Friday shocked CNN’s Poppy Harlow when he said that Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner may have slipped U.S. intelligence to Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman that led to the alleged killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. “Let me get to the point that is most disturbing right now,” Castro said. “The reporting that Jared Kushner may have, with U.S. intelligence, delivered a hit list, an enemies list, to the crown prince,…

Eamon Javers on Twitter: “What’s not in this tweet is any indication WHY Mnuchin is not going to the conference. Is the administration concerned/offended/horrified by the alleged Saudi murder? Or is this just a scheduling issue? Tweet itself does not say.… https://t.co/vGSVEKmvVo”
I agree. 🙂 The actual thought process that resulted in this decision is something I’d like to know but that’s probably just a fantasy. If I were Mnuchin however I know why I wouldn’t be there: I wouldn’t want to hang out with people who might see it fit to bone-saw me to death later in the month; and who would be able to bring themselves to do that to another human being; and who would be able to order others to do that to another human being.
It’s a disgraceful lack of ethics, Mr. Mnuchin et al.

Who else is saying this? Which other Democrats are saying this? Who else is independent enough and courageous enough to say things like this? And if you can’t even bring yourself to say things like this how can you possibly bring yourself to do anything about things like this?

Jamal Khashoggi: Trump says US asked for audio ‘if it exists’ | World news | The Guardian
Audio recording that reportedly proves Khashoggi was tortured before his murder has been given to US and Saudi Arabia, Turkey says

According to an account in the pro-government daily newspaper Yeni Şafak, and a later report citing Turkish officials by the New York Times, the audio recording proves that Khashoggi was seized as soon as he entered the office of the Saudi consul, Mohammad al-Otaibi, on 2 October.
The dissident journalist was beaten and had his fingers cut off, according to the news account. Otaibi asked for the torture to be done outside his office, saying: “You will put me in trouble.”
“If you want to live when you come back to Arabia, shut up,” the consul was told by a Saudi hit team who had flown to Istanbul hours before Khashoggi’s planned visit to the consulate, where he had expected to pick up legal papers he needed to get married.
Khashoggi was beheaded and his body was cut up. A Saudi forensics specialist Salah Muhammad al-Tubaigy can be heard putting on headphones to listen to music and telling others to do the same while the body was dismembered, according to the reports.
Investigators believe that after the killing, Khashoggi’s body was taken to the consul general’s house, where it was disposed of.
If you remove the mundane artifice of legal jurisdictions, Drumpf, Pompeo, and the Saudi royal family are all complicit in some or all of murder, covering up a murder, and interfering with a murder investigation. They are all brutal criminals plain and simple. They just haven’t yet been convicted, tried, or imprisoned. Their pathetically puny musterings in life must surely pale in comparison to the courage of Jamal Khashoggi and those like him who speak truth to power despite these potential consequences.
I hope that this may serve to mark a turning point in the way legitimate journalists and other truth-seekers are regarded by society. They are in some ways the only people standing between us and chaotic, ignorant oblivion, a dark reality crafted only by the hands of those sufficiently corrupt to have aspired to power.
