Saudi Prince's Advisor Skyped into the Torture and Murder of Khashoggi

That's right, our government is protecting a murderous dictator who killed a reporter because of his criticism not only of Saudi Arabia but also because of his criticism of Trump.


•Saudi Crown Prince’s Advisor Al Qahtani was beamed into a room of the consulate via Skype.
•Insulted at Khashoggi over the phone.
• Turkish intel source: At one point Qahtani told his men to dispose of him. "Bring me the head of the dog",

Oh, the NSA doesn't have to subpoena it, MS automatically routes it to them.

Just like Azure constantly scans Ubuntu and Windows desktops sending directory and new files to Amazon, MS & NSA.

The rest of the Saudi Royalty should know that this situation is going to create serious problems for them. This is out of control.

......have been arrested and are under threat of death because they are expected to take the blame.

This is how it always goes under autocracy. Always.

A test of the will of free people in every country to stand up to this outrage.

It's on all of us to respond in every way possible.

Republicans will do nothing about that murderous travesty. We need to vote them out of office and keep them out of office.

The most powerful man in the world (with the most powerful military at his disposal) will protect the Saudis who ordered this.

Partly because Jared-Israel-Iran.

Partly because Trump admires brutality and cruelty.

Partly because Trump wants to see how far he himself can go.
