The fact that the MSM is pushing this story brings lots of questions mark for me. Usually something like this is mentioned once or twice and forgotten, but not here. Something is going on here and this story will be used to push a future agenda im sure...

Why the sudden interest by the West in what is essentially internal Saudi affair?  Life of one man is insignificant, unless there is some political advantage to be gained via the exploitation of his death.  Did his majesty King Salman bim Abdulaziz Al Saud offend the established network of graft and patronage, upon which the Western mercantiles heavily depended, during his consolidation of power?  Is this the Western establishments' attempt at further isolating the Trump regime of the few allies he retained?  Is this CCP and Russian attempt at drawing the House of Saud away from the US mercantile axis?  Conscience resides only in humans; politicians have no soul, and thus, can not be classified as human.  There is more political explanation for the Western clamor over the death of one, insignificant power player.

Hopefully journalism will become a respected and protected group of people. It’s sad that these great people had to die for their craft but if there’s one thing the rich and powerful don’t like it’s an investigation.

Could be a couple variables at play here, one is to further erode support of the Trump administration.  Any person(s) attempting to work with this administration has become a target, so this wouldn't surprise me at all given how it was carried out in  a manner that would give it the publicity and outcry it's getting.  These types of things happen all time, the difference is the person usually ends up disappearing after exiting a hotel, train, plane, or drove into the sunset never to be seen again.

The other that drew my attention was the release of the minister being held in Turkey within days of this mans murder.  Could be he was used by SA to send a strong message to the old SA regime there's new players in town and this is just the way things are going to be, in a case such as that I can see the Trump admin. going along with it considering the many different swifts towards other regimes in the ME.  They get Turkey to go along with it in exchange for dropping sanctions but it has to look like something else so they do the prisoner exchange.  

Fact is the mans family said they didn't know he was even engaged let a lone going to get married, with that woman saying she stood outside with a link up to him inside and did nothing about it says, in my opinion, volumes that somehow, no matter who played this out, she was involved.  Notice also how she's been pretty much kept out of the press since this is happening, you'd think reporters would be all over her to hear her story, see who she really is, ask her why the family doesn't know who she is, etc., my bet is she is part of the operation that convinced him to go in under the guise his safety would be monitored at all times.

Consider today's new that SA deposited that hundred million on the exact day Pompeo lands in SA I am leaning heavily more towards this was a set up to drive a wedge between Trumps administration and SA support of it, who else has that kind of power to set things up to make them appear that of which they are not, meaning taking that deposit and making it happen on a day they knew he'd be going there to make it appear as a bribe then what it's original intent was....that's more behind the scene's deep state stuff if you ask me.
