Jamal Khashoggi event

This one confuses me a bit. Can be solved in 1 min: Release vid of his entering the building, and vid showing his leaving the building. There's cameras every damn inch of that building, and everyone know that. This seems rather simple to me for the Saudis to demonstrates he was unmolested while in their building. No searches needed, etc. Are the Saudi's claiming they have no vids? If they refuse to release vids, then they're guilty as chit. What am I missing?

Jamal Khashoggi: Pressure grows on Saudis as US envoy meets king

Pressure is growing on Saudi Arabia to explain the fate of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, as US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met King Salman in Riyadh.

Mr Khashoggi was last seen at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul two weeks ago.

Turkish officials believe Mr Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi agents but the Saudis have denied this.

However, US media are reporting that the Saudis may be preparing to admit that Mr Khashoggi died as a result of an interrogation that went wrong.

I don't know what the think about this new Prince. Out of the gate he seemed to want to modernize and kick the 7th Century guys in the nuts. Then he went after some corrupt (I know redundant) princes. Now pulling a Putin and killing off bad press?

Seems like enough evidence to convict someone of murder.

I predict someone will fall on their sword over this.

Probably because they were told their entire family will cease to exist if they don't. We don't need their oil anymore. When do we stop making excuses for those chit heads? Sure, they're a counter to the Iranians, but that's getting old too. Then there's 9/11, but no need to even go there.

Exactly. Why the righteous indignation? This guy isn’t a US citizen. Not our problem.

He was a journalist living in the US. That's likely why it's getting the traction it's getting.

Here's what I've been able to figure out. Someone pissed off the wrong people. Said people then sent a very clear message about what happens to you when you cross them. We the pee on's of the world will never know what truly happened other than he died, and someone(s) wanted him very dead. Not "mostly dead", but "all dead".

Right now Saudi is an Islamic Monarchy, bad as that is it is still better than an Islamic Theocracy. Sure they play footsie with the wahhabist, but it still better than the wahhabists running everything.

Saudi journalist who was critical of Saudi royals. I dare say they don't tolerate progressives to the extent that we do. This is very much SSDD.
