I don't understand why the Saudis didn't delete all the files on his watch and would it have mattered if it was uploaded to a cloud?

is scary to the extreme and Americans deserve better answers than what rump and folks are saying (and they are basically doing nothing about it). Rump's son in law must have something to do with this sad state of affairs since he just went there...

Turkey had Saudi consulate bugged and obtained audio/video that way and watch is a cover?

Chris Murphy just told Cuomo that he thinks the Saudis wanted to fuel the speculation about them to send a message to other dissidents. After all, if they just wanted him dead they could've done it in so many other ways without leaving their fingerprints.

They are saying that some files were deleted by use of his fingerprint. However, Apple says (according to what I read) that the Apple watch is not responsive to fingerprints. So maybe files were deleted, maybe not,
