Not. Our. Problem.

I know more about Johnson and Weld than you. Both are 2 globalists of open borders and for expanding our bad trade deals. They are not as Warhawk as Hillary and W Bush but they are not Isolationists either.

For those wondering what is the big deal about a "reporter". Here is more information from Wikipedia:
A number of prominent Saudi Arabian princes, government ministers, and business people were arrested in Saudi Arabia in November 2017 following the creation of an anti-corruption committee led by Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (also known as MbS).
There are three alternate theories regarding the motives behind the purge: a genuine corruption crackdown, a project to gain money, or preparing to take over the crown.[1]
Khashoggi fled Saudi Arabia in September 2017.

Khashoggi befriended Osama bin Laden in the 1980s and 1990s in Afghanistan while Bin Laden was championing his jihad against the Soviets in dispatches.

Khashoggi is the nephew of late, high-profile Saudi Arabian arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, known for his part in the Iran-Contra scandal,[15] who was estimated to have had a net worth of US$4 billion in the early 1980s.[16][17] Jamal Khashoggi’s cousin, Dodi Fayed, was dating the UK's Princess Diana when the two were killed in a car crash in Paris.[18]
This was a very influential person, and seemed to be involved in a conspiracy to take out the prince who is next to the throne.

Cut the aid to them all, but first you need to throw lobbyists out of dc to accomplish that.
The lobbyists donate heavily to "both" sides.

shouldn't we wait until Turkey, Saudi, and our Intel does their own investigation and then we can talk about sanctions? Getting news from WIKI is not a wise thing. Anybody can put stuff in there.

I haven't said anything about sanctions, I just quoted a few facts about who Jamal is.

I have heard about his involvement with Bin Laden and the Muslim Brotherhood as well.
The thing is more than half the Royal Family sent funds to the Muslim Brotherhood and many supported the terrorists in Afghanistan.

If you throw a stone at a group of Saudi Princes, there is a good chance you will hit Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist supporters.
MBS is not going after all the Muslim Brotherhood supporters, just the ones critical of his rule. Which is as old as time itself.
He is just another Saddam like Tyrant ruling with an iron fist.

Khashoggi’s murder makes him a martyr and thus a greater threat to the Saudi government than when he was alive.

Yemen, Syria, Lebanon.

All these Saudi crimes were worse than khashoggi by magnitudes. And yet this one guy’s death becomes such a big deal;

Hypocrites.
