#1 Great...infighting. Defense vs. CIA. Just wonderful. Thanks intelligence community, for throwing off the yoke of the elected government and doing things in your own interest.

#3 But..but...The New York Times reported the CIA said the Prince knew!

Based on some clown inside the Agency who said, 'The Price must have known."

#4 Will someone explain why this is any of our business?

#5 Something else to try and hang around President Trump's neck. The guy (Khashoggi) appears to have been a POS.

#6 Beyond the intelligent reaction of 'So what?', the Prince knew is pretty thin. What happened to St Thomas a Becket? What's the Arabic for 'Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?'.

#7 The guy that was murdered was not only a terrorist, but a threat to the west and to the Saudis.

Good riddance.
