Saudi crown prince described slain journalist as a dangerous Islamist in call with White House

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman described slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi as a dangerous Islamist days after his disappearance in a phone call with President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and national security adviser John Bolton, according to people familiar with the discussion.

In the call, which occurred before the kingdom publicly acknowledged killing Khashoggi, the crown prince urged Kushner and Bolton to preserve the U.S.-Saudi alliance and said the journalist was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group long opposed by Bolton and other senior Trump officials.

And I have no doubt that Kushner helped to set up Khashoggi too.

Call someone an Islamist or a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or a member of al Qaeda, or all three, and Trumpists (who don't know f*ck-all about anything and can't be bothered to learn, research, or even ask useful questions) will green-light any execution.
