Maybe I am misinformed, but I believe it was reported days ago that US intelligence had

[Atticus]

intercepted some form of communication which detailed the PLANNING of the Kashoggi capture. Intelligence was bound by law to notify Trump and he obligated to WARN Kashoggi. Why is there discussion as to IF Trump knew in advance?

Or, have I "misheard" or misunderstood?

1. I believe that I heard Malcomb Nance say

that The White House would have been informed within 5 minutes of intel vetting this intercept.

It will be interesting to see what he has to say if he is on Stephanie Miller today.

8. Malcolm WAS on Steph today, and he said exactly that.

He said 15 minutes, tops.

13. Trump will deny it, and his minions on TV and social media will parrot this talking point

until Donnie creates a brand new shiny outrage next week and it's just one more thing down the memory hole...

Rinse and repeat.

2. You are right on.

There was a Story Posted late night in that time frame. Posted by Reuters I do believe and it came out of Eourpe .

3. Well, we have to be fair. Our guys...that's just one side of the story, see?

"Many people don't know this", but the stable genius is neither. Indeed.

5. I think some of the "did Trump know?" is meant as "did he know *from talking to the Saudis/MBS?*"

In other words, did he or Jared give a green light, or indicate he would look the other way, or provide MBS with American intel which helped them do this?

As opposed to the question of did American intel intercept anything which should have been shared with Khashoggi to warn him of danger.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. WTF

is Jared Kushner doing mixed up in *any* of this?!

[RockRaven]

12. Money, money, money. A bailout for his 666 building.

Jared help align the Saudis and Emiratis with Trump against Qatar, including the Saudi/Emirati blockade, in response to their initial refusal to bail out wonder boy's terrible business decision (666 5th ave). Small wonder eventually a Canadian hedge fund largely controlled by Qatar sovereign wealth dumped 100s of millions of USD into that building.

Jared also passed US intel to MBS to enable his recent royal family purge. After that, MBS had Jared by the balls (since passing classified US intel to a foreign power is, you know, highly illegal).

6. I saw that too, and it's sorta disappeared since then - along with a story at the same time that

in 2016 the Saudis offered to detain Khashoggi because he was critical of Trump during the election. I regret that I only skimmed the story at the time, because I cannot find it now - maybe I misread, but I don't think so. I think this is the big-fucking-deal, crossing-a-red-line scandal that's going to blow up SO big that even rethugs can't ignore it, and it will be the thing we've been waiting for to get trump ousted.

7. Is this it?

Or does it lead you there?

9. no, i remember it talked about detaining him... but it was a too-quick scan, I prolly misread....
