US judge dismisses Khashoggi murder case against Saudi Prince
2022-12-08
[Rudaw] A US judge on Wednesday said that the Saudi Crown Prince was entitled to sovereign immunity despite "credible allegations" of his possible involvement in the killing of Saudi journalist beloved martyr of journalism Jamal Khashoggi
......who was simultaneously a very well paid Washington Post columnist and a long time propagandist for the Moslem Brotherhood and Al Qaeda — he died while on the Qatari payroll, but previously wrote at the behest of then-Saudi intel chief Prince Turki al-Faisal......
, weeks after the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra)
...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us...
contended that the prince should be granted immunity.

John Bates, a Washington federal judge, accepted the US government's position that Prince Mohammed bin Salman
...Crown Prince and modernizer of Saudi Arabia as of 2016. The Turks hate him, so he must be all right, despite the occasional brutal murder of Qatar-owned journalists. As crown prince, Moe has quietly jettisoned his country's policy of trying to impose its religion on the rest of the world...
, who was appointed Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
's prime minister in September, is a foreign head of state in US courts and is thus granted immunity.

Hatice Cengiz, Khashoggi's Ottoman Turkish fiancée, and an activist muppet group filed a lawsuit accusing the Prince of conspiring to murder Khashoggi.
However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat...
Bates stated he had no authority to overrule the formal statement submitted to court on November 17 stating that he had been granted immunity.

He added that the US government's executive branch "remains responsible for foreign affairs, including with Saudi Arabia, and a contrary decision on bin Salman's immunity by this Court would unduly interfere with those responsibilities."

The killing of the Saudi critic, a 59-year-old journalist, inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018, was a murder that stunned the world.

When Khashoggi went to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
to obtain marriage documents from the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, he walked into the building and never left; his body has yet to be found.

Biden declassified an intelligence report that found Prince Mohammed had approved the operation against Khashoggi, an assertion Saudi authorities deny, according to AFP.

President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan.......
traveled to Saudi Arabia in July to strengthen ties with the Saudi prince, calling the allegations "outrageous" during bilateral talks.

Five people were handed death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
s by Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi's killing, but a Saudi court in September 2020 overturned them while giving jail terms of up to 20 years to eight unnamed defendants following secretive legal proceedings.
