Jamal Khashoggi was not a journalist. He was a Qatari/Turkish spy, working against his home country of Saudi Arabia, using the Washington Post, (a known CIA mouthpiece) as his vehicle.
His texts showed he was taking orders from the Qatar Foundation, on what topics to cover, how to cover them and often being told to be more aggressive and critical of Saudi Arabia. His intent, and likely the intent of the WaPo (a known CIA mouthpiece), was the shifting of US policy against Saudi Arabia and towards the Iran-Turkey-Qatar alliance. Looks like you bought it hook, line and sinker. Even the WaPo grudgingly admits this now that they read his texts.
"Among Khashoggi’s friends in the United States were individuals with real or imagined affiliations with the Islamist group the Muslim Brotherhood, and an Islamic advocacy organization, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, regarded warily for its support of the public uprisings of the Arab Spring. Khashoggi cultivated ties with senior officials in the Turkish government, also viewed with deep distrust by the rulers in Saudi Arabia.
Perhaps most problematic for Khashoggi were his connections to an organization funded by Saudi Arabia’s regional nemesis, Qatar. Text messages between Khashoggi and an executive at Qatar Foundation International show that the executive, Maggie Mitchell Salem, at times shaped the columns he submitted to The Washington Post, proposing topics, drafting material and prodding him to take a harder line against the Saudi government. Khashoggi also appears to have relied on a researcher and translator affiliated with the organization, which promotes Arabic-language education in the United States."
We should go after the whole Saudi Royal family then.
The Muslim Brotherhood are choir boys compared to the Wahhabi Royals.
The Wahhabi Islam sect do not consider the Muslim Brotherhood extreme enough.
Before the crown prince took power he was beheading people left and right in the province he ruled that did not kiss his azz.

Would you prefer the Saudi Royal Family just lose to other terrorists that are aching to hurt the West, including the U.S. and Israel?
Twitter tough-guy Trump doesn't have the backbone to confront anyone face-to-face in the real world as he so ably demonstrated standing next to Putin in Helsinki.
