Newly released transcripts tell last, gruesome moments of columnist Jamal Khashoggi

Source: ABC

The reported transcribed conversations show the 15-member team of Saudi officials discussing what to do with Khashoggi's body before he arrived at the consulate, seeking paperwork for his upcoming marriage to his fiancée Hatice Cengiz. It's unclear how Turkey was able to record the events in the Saudi consulate as they unfolded.

"I know how to cut very well," Tubaigy added. "I have never worked on a warm body though, but I'll also manage that easily. I normally put on my earphones and listen to music when I cut cadavers. In the meantime, I sip on my coffee and smoke. After I dismember it, you will wrap the parts into plastic bags, put them in suitcases and take them out."

According to Turkish officials, the team did that, removing Khashoggi's body in pieces in five suitcases. His remains have never been found.

Khashoggi's last words were, "I have asthma. Do not do it, you will suffocate me," according to the transcripts.

That he allowed an AMERICAN CITIZEN to be butchered to death (Remember he was still alive when they started to dismember his body.) and then did NOTHING in retaliation is some thing that we should NEVER forget. There isn't a person in this country that trumpie would not allow to meet the same end if he felt it benefited him in some form.

Whoever is the eventual democratic candidate MUST address this. What would they do if they found themselves in the same position.

I believe that this is one of the ugliest stains on the US.

... a highly classified PDB (Presidential Daily Briefing). That PDB told the Prince about
Khashoggi and that we knew that the Saudis were planning to kill him along with other
information Khashoggi.

I am willing to bet that there was Saudi money behind the UAE's paying off Jared's
1.3 billion $ note on his NYC property on 5th Ave.
