CNN has come out with a report on Monday that Saudi Arabia is readying a report in which they will finally admit that missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed in what they will describe as an “interrogation gone wrong.”

The Washington Post columnist is a prominent Saudi dissident. He went missing on October 2 after walking into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
Turkish officials first made the claim that they have proof the journalist was murdered and then dismembered by a team of Saudi agents. The Saudi government initially strongly denied the allegation.

CNN cited two sources that the Saudis are in the thick of preparations of a report that rogue agents abducted Khashoggi in an attempt to bring him back to Saudi Arabia, but in the process made the mistake of killing him.
CNN further said in its report that Saudi intends to make the admission to absolve the government of responsibility for the murder by claiming that the operation “was not cleared” after all.
Arwa Damon reported for CNN direct from Istanbul that it is highly likely that the report will conclude that “the operation was carried out without clearance and transparency, and those involved will be held responsible.”
Saudi officials previously claimed that Khashoggi left the consulate in Istanbul shortly after arriving.
Earlier, President Trump warned of “severe punishment” if the Saudis were proven to be behind the disappearance of Khashoggi. Saudi didn’t like the words of Trump and even threatened to fight back against any actions Washington may take against it.

Trump also said earlier on Monday that he had the chance to speak with Saudi King Salman who “firmly denied any knowledge” of Khashoggi murder and speculated that maybe the journalist was killed by rogue leaders.

>> 39464 I respect you having an opinion, but you are clearly in a fantasy land if you think the most powerful man on earth and his decisions are inconsequential. You can treat him with all the disrespect you can muster, but you will need to come up with better ideas and stand by them if you want Trump to go away. Your entire identity is based on what you hate and your peers are growing tired. The Democrat party is fracturing. You will either side with Socialist suicide bombers, come up with some ideas, or take the red pill that welcomes you warmly to a policy of prosperity and peace.
This actually makes sense, 1st they thought no one would put his disappearance together with the embassy, till surveillance cameras showed him going in but never coming out. Then it was deny deny deny any knowledge of what happened. That’s as far as the previous admin would have gone, but they found Trump to be a different president and he wants answers so much so that He sent SOS Mike to get to the bottom of it. Only then do the Saudis backpedal and claim his death a torture oops I mean interrogation gone wrong. The Sauds are going to have a hard time justifying the dismemberment part anyway they spin it.
