CIA: Mohammed bin Salman Did It (UPDATED)


It appears the CIA has the goods on Crown Prince Mohammed "Bone Saw" bin Salman:
The CIA has concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul last month, contradicting the Saudi government’s claims that he was not involved in the killing, according to people familiar with the matter. 
The CIA’s assessment, in which officials have said they have high confidence, is the most definitive to date linking Mohammed to the operation and complicates the Trump administration’s efforts to preserve its relationship with a close ally... 
Your move, Trump.

UPDATE:  It also appears the Trump regime may be working on a deal to get Turkey to back off going after Bone Saw by handing over exiled Turkish cleric Fethullan Gülen, blamed by Turkish autocrat Recep Erdogan for "masterminding" the attempted coup in 2016.

UPDATE II:  We're reminded once again to "follow the money" when it comes to the relations between the corrupt Trump crime family and the outside world.
