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.

I'm glad the CIA put this out, backing up what most of us lay people had already concluded to be true. In spite of all the false stories MSB and his people kept throwing out there, the actual truth will eventually be told. What happens as a result remains to be seen. And once again, Trump has egg on his face for backing the wrong team. Again.
I know the US hasn't always been on the right side of everything; no nation gets to make that claim. And one needs only look across the Pond to see that there are troubles rumbling elsewhere in the world. But we used to be better than this. We used to have standards and we used to be reliable as a world leader. Trump and his crew changed that. And it won't be easy to regain the stature we once had.
donnah - it looks like the Sawdis have more than Princeling Jared in their pocket. What an amoral bunch of vicious fuckers there are running loose in the world.
