A federal judge heeded the U.S.'s motion to shield Prince Mohammed bin Salman from the lawsuit despite what he called “credible allegations of his involvement in Khashoggi’s murder.'

Khashoggi had entered the Saudi consulate to obtain documents needed for his upcoming marriage. His fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, who had waited unknowingly outside the consulate as he was killed, and a rights group founded by Khashoggi before he diedThe Biden administration, invited but not ordered by the judge to offer an opinion on the matter, declared last month that Prince Mohammed's standing as Saudi Arabia's prime minister gave him sovereign immunity from the U.S. lawsuit.

Bates expressed "uneasiness" with the circumstances of Prince Mohammed's new title, and wrote in Tuesday's order that "there is a strong argument that plaintiffs' claims against bin Salman and the other defendants are meritorious."

Corruption and oil go hand n hand

Nice if they could give the journalis Julian Assange the same imunity. At least J.A. did nothing wrong reporting warcrimes just like many other outlets.

Please mr president, just rest your head on this block of special wood that will relieve you of all your pain. Mbs

Bitches paradise

That's b******* he murdered him Trump ought to be held responsible too and his son-in-law and nothing but murders for $2 billion dollar deal

ADJUSTIS

Im appauled

Political action

Follow up story … How many retired Military Officers work for the Saudis ?

Broken pottery will leave all scars even if the fragments can be stuck together again.

'No one is above the law', 'democracy ', 'Build back better'..

Frankly, dismissed or not in the U.S, it doesn’t matter as it has already been closed in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. And Khashoggi’s family upheld the results of the trial of the criminals who committed the murder because they believe everyone involved got what they deserve

At least the CIA can put a sniper out for him. Or one of those razor missles.

Where is the justice!!!

But of course

Obviously part of a deal Biden made.

You must not murder. Exodus 20:13

The Saudis own the Biden family.

It boils my blood seeing the law dissolve as you get closer to the people who decide what it is. We are ruled by people who expect of us what they don't expect of themselves. Its a joke.

Follow the money 💰

It’s amazing how a human life doesn’t matter when money is on the line.

the first amendment of our nation's constitution guarantees citizens the right 'to petition the government for a redress of grievances.' there was no mention of an exception wherein some powerful dude had put himself over the barrel in front of some other powerful dude.

I guess Biden realized we need them more than they need us

That is the truth of American justice independence

BidenCrimeFamilly

Biden sucking up to the Saudis. Weak Presidency. Gutless Diplomacy.

Thanks Biden! Scumbag!

As expected, in return of oil. No other choice, else we are going to have a spike in oil price. The games are changing!

Corruption.

US court dismisses suit against Saudi prince in killingA U.S. federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit against Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the killing of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, bowing to the Biden administration's insistence that the prince was legally immune in the case. District of Columbia U.S. District Judge John D. Bates heeded the U.S. government's motion to shield Prince Mohammed from the lawsuit despite what Bates called “credible allegations of his involvement in Khashoggi's murder.” A team of Saudi officials killed Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018. Bowing is correct. That's what Biden did to the Saudis while condoning murder.

Judge tosses Jamal Khashoggi suit against MBS after Biden gives prince immunity: court docsA federal judge in the nation’s capital agreed to toss a civil lawsuit against Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman for the killing of writer Jamal Khashoogi. All MBS had to do was tell JB that Jamal was the guy clobbering JB’s diaper for the past 7 years. Joe Biden did that! The media should be disgusted by this. You are all Khashoggi and he is you. Really need solidarity on this… for his death to not be in vain. Stand up for him!
