Only two ways this will end: A. If they're friends of the monarchy, found innocent B. If they're political enemies, swiftly found guilty and executed.

Scapegoats MbS

i.e., 5 disposable, otherwise innocent, saudis will be executed to shield actual culprits from further american finger-wagging

yeah and with the Saudi respect for life, this kangaroo court will convict and behead an assortment of the henchmen and let the Prince of scott free although it was his murder.

MBS will kill his scapegoats and call it a wrap while the world apathetically looks on. Khashoggi

But not the main guy right? Bullshit.

How about chopping the prince’s head. Actually how about dismemberment in a public place.

They are scapegoats for the person that ordered the murder.

tragic farce

I suppose that if they are dead, they can't implicate MbS in the assassination.

Is Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud one of them

SO, to 'prove' he wasn't involved MSB will have his servants killed --- guys just following his orders -- to avenge Khashoggi's death? AND the US is OK with that?

Never has a meme been so apt.

So MBS thinks killing his henchmen will get him off the hook? Boy is he in for a surpise when Individual one isn't around to protect him.

mariannecope They were following orders. When does the Prince go on trial?

Farce

Actually, I heard 15 ppl participated in the hit and cover-up. Including the Crown Prince.

What a farce. They actually believe the rest of the world doesn’t understand the crown prince ordered them to kill him and is now sacrificing them? They deserve death for sure but so does the prince. They are all inhuman

Scapegoats. Corrupt country. Yup, they’re dead. Just like Khashoggi. Yet MBS walks free. What a travesty.

How does it make sense for the Saudi government to kill 5 guys who were ordered to kill a guy by the Saudi government?

when are we going to try their whole royal family for being complicit?

MBS gonna give himself death penalty how noble
