Saudi journalist killed and hacked inside Saudi embassy in Istanbul

[WinterHold]

A lot hinges on exactly what audio and video evidence Turkey actually has.  I doubt audio by itself is conclusive.  Regarding the letter from congress, it's not clear that the Magnitsky Act would survive a constitutional challenge, and even if it does, it would be months before it was ruled on.

I also wonder about what the recording contain. Rumors say it's Arabic speech and sounds that prove "torture" and "murder"
What I read is that Kashoggi's Apple watch is the source. Obviously he connected the watch to a cloud server connected to his phone; he left the phone with his Turkish fiance before entering the consulate.

The Sauds went mad (literally) and are threatening with lots of actions if the investigation continued:

I hope the Magnitsky Act gets executed.

Prohibited goods are only prohibited when you belong to the people. Once you step into the world of the mullahs and the royalty, ironically haram becomes a halal that the sultan needs.

You reminded me to read 1984 and admit that Orwell had psychic powers.
