Top Democrat suggests Khoshoggi was on a Trump hit list
The Washington Times ^ | October 20, 2018 | Rowan Scarborough

A House Democrat on the intelligence committee is suggesting that the White House and top aide Jared Kushner maintained a “hit list” of dissidents for the Saudi kingdom to assassinate.

Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas, who sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said the supposed list included murdered Saudi dissident/journalist Jamal Khoshoggi.

The Saudi Arabia ruling family admitted Friday its operatives had killed Mr. Khoshoggi inside its consulate in Istanbul during what they described as a brawl.

Mr. Castro, appearing on CNN, floated the conspiracy that President Trump’s White House target Mr. Khoshoggi in alliance with Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman, the country’s 33-year-old de facto ruler.

The CNN anchor then pushed back, saying the network had not reported such a White House plot.

They (collectively) have lost their minds.

Didn’t someone on this forum predict that the MSM would accuse president Trump of the killing?

“Sooner or later something will have to be done about the insanity coming from the left. It will reach a boiling point and I’d hate to be one of them when it does.”

It’s coming to a head right now. This level of brainwashing and whipped up anger by the media(radicalized by CNN) can only end one way—war

If President Trump had a hit list, Castro would have already been terminated.

Agreed...It’s been snowballing since Mab Maxine started flapping her gums, if it doesn’t stop soon there will be fatalities.

Since around 1959 I have believed that anyone named Castro is a troublemaker.

Why in the world would Trump have even known his name? Why in the world would he be on any list of Trump’s? Why would any sane person give a damn?

I’m pretty sure Trump had no idea who the hell this guy was before he walked into the Saudi embassy a few weeks ago.

#1 Khashoggi was NOT a 'journalist'. He was a 'mover & shaker' in Saudi Arabia, the nephew of mega-arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and a Muslim Brotherhood promoter who happened to write a few articles for the WaPo. He has been labeled a 'journalist' by the MSM to ensure widespread sympathy in and coverage by every news media outlet on the globe.

#2 You can be sure that he was known to the US intelligence community, White Hats & Black Hats. If necessary, Pres. Trump had been briefed on his activities before he 'sauntered' into the Saudi Embassy to get his paperwork to marry a Turk.

There is a pattern here. The left says something unbelievable, and when we don’t believe it, they pile on to what they already claimed.

They do it with “global warming.” They did it with Kavanaugh. And now they’re trying it with this journalist.

Am I the only person who completely does not care about this journalist?

The guy

Which guy are you talking about, Khoshoggi?

Because that is not the case at all. But who cares if Khoshoggi was killed? Had absolutely nothing to do with us, nor do we need to get involved. Let other countries do the condemning of whomever is responsible for killing the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist supporter.

“Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas, who sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence”

Castro and intelligence: what an oxymoron.

If the Donald had a hit I would bet some big ones that Soros would have had a fatal “accident” by now. And a few others as well. Shit happens, don’t it.

There are no limits to the imprecations that evil men will accuse the righteous.

Well if it s true then Bravo! Seems O’s list was always using cruise missiles or Predator missiles. This would seem much more efficient and yield a better message.
