Thanks for the thread as usual bud.
Lots going on this week from the Soros funded mob of 18-30 year old males from Honduras headed to the US to the death of Muslim Brotherhood terrorist Jamal Khashoggi.
Jamal was also a Saudi intel operative and who knows what relationship he had with the CIA. He also hadan uncle named Adnan Khashoggi who was a major league smugler of arms,drugs and humlans.
IT now Appears he was accidentally killed by enhanced torture by the old Saudi guard undoubtedly called in by the Saudi King and not MBS Mohammad ben Salman.
More later.
Was this why he was being interrogated:

The macabre case of missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi raises the question: did Saudi rulers fear him revealing highly damaging information on their secret dealings? In particular, possible involvement in the 9/11 terror attacks on New York in 2001.
Even more intriguing are US media reports now emerging that American intelligence had snooped on and were aware of Saudi officials making plans to capture Khashoggi prior to his apparent disappearance at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last week. If the Americans knew the journalist’s life was in danger, why didn’t they tip him off to avoid his doom?
Jamal Khashoggi (59) had gone rogue, from the Saudi elite’s point of view. Formerly a senior editor in Saudi state media and an advisor to the royal court, he was imminently connected and versed in House of Saud affairs. As one commentator cryptically put it: “He knew where all the bodies were buried.”
For the past year, Khashoggi went into self-imposed exile, taking up residence in the US, where he began writing opinion columns for the Washington Post.
Khashoggi’s articles appeared to be taking on increasingly critical tone against the heir to the Saudi throne, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The 33-year-old Crown Prince, or MbS as he’s known, is de facto ruler of the oil-rich kingdom, in place of his aging father, King Salman.
While Western media and several leaders, such as Presidents Trump and Macron, have been indulging MbS as “a reformer”, Khashoggi was spoiling this Saudi public relations effort by criticizing the war in Yemen, the blockade on Qatar and the crackdown on Saudi critics back home.
However, what may have caused the Saudi royals more concern was what Khashoggi knew about darker, dirtier matters. And not just the Saudis, but American deep state actors as as well.
He was formerly a media aide to Prince Turki al Faisal, who is an eminence gris figure in Saudi intelligence, with its systematic relations to American and British counterparts. Prince Turki’s father, Faisal, was formerly the king of Saudi Arabia until his assassination in 1975 by a family rival. Faisal was a half-brother of the present king, Salman, and therefore Prince Turki is a cousin of the Crown Prince – albeit at 73 more than twice his age.
For nearly 23 years, from 1977 to 2001, Prince Turki was the director of the Mukhabarat, the Saudi state intelligence apparatus. He was instrumental in Saudi, American and British organization of the mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan to combat Soviet forces. Those militants in Afghanistan later evolved into the al Qaeda terror network, which has served as a cat’s paw in various US proxy wars across the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia, including Russia’s backyard in the Caucasus.
Ten days before the 9/11 terror attacks on New York City, in which some 3,000 Americans died, Prince Turki retired from his post as head of Saudi intelligence. It was an abrupt departure, well before his tenure was due to expire............

Very nice sleuthing, RG!
Was his Fiance in on the hit and got him to the Embassy?
The Saudis could have killed Khashoggi anywhere in the world using a cutout that could not be traced back to the Saudi government. Why kill him in a Saudi consulate in Istanbul? It makes no sense unless there was another agenda, i.e., removing the current CP.
Why Khashoggi and why now? There is much more to this story and I doubt we will ever learn the answers. It is all part of Saudi palace intrigue.
Interesting to note that Brennan was the station chief in Riyadh 1996-99, not long after I left the Kingdom in 1992.
