Not Americas place to get involved in this. He was not an American citizen. It's on there hands now

1_If justice is not practiced in Saudi law which is Shariea, then it doesn't exist anywhere in any law. 2_ khashoggi is a Saudi citizen and that means Congress has absolutely nothing to do or interfere in his trial 3_ why don't you try to understand that people don't trust you

You should not interfere with internal trail case khshoggi family Saudi Arabia

Foreign agent of Qatar advertising☝️

Not our country. Not Congress’ place. Meanwhile, why did the WaPo publish foreign propaganda from known terrorist groups?

. Right. Keep on invading and meddling in other nations

Khashoggi's articles are written from a second country in his name and you know it. Peg Khashoggi.. 😂😂😂😂

How about this? Opinion: US trial for (insert name of cop who shot black kid) murder is a travesty. Saudi cabinet must insist on justice.

You need to first work on your judiciary system where innocent or minor offenders are sent to prions for 20 or 30 years and most likely bc they are African-Americans where their sentences are much harsher than their white counterparts!! Hypocrisy at its best!!

Shut up. Stop trying to interfere in another countries affairs

Creating and funding an agent of influence and making columnist out of terrorists is a bigger travesty.

Fakenews platform WAPO, Kashoggi trail done under the law of Saudi Arabia, non of your business. SAUDIS Should take WAPO to court for spreading lies and hatred against Saudi Arabia. We know that you are mouth peice for terrorists of Qatari regime,

Not our business. He was an operative disguised as a FakeNews 'journalist'. Give me a break. EnemyOfThePeople

the man has a bad history that has been put out. He was never a journalist for the post. He was anti Saudi and went against them. He was part of the muslim brotherhood that is against Saudi. Stops the lies and hate. He was not a US citizen that was a lie

This campaign against SA & MBS orchestrated by Wapo & Bezos is troubling & should disturb Americans. Radical leftists can't stand that POTUS is not an Interventionist. They love conflict & WAR. They hate peace. It's insanity 2 think that America could meddle in a foreign govt.

Ask yourself why radical leftists wants us to be at odds wth SA & MBS. Ask yourself why they believe the US should involve itself in the govt of other countries as if we have a right or even could. This is NONE of our business. The arrogance of Bezos is astounding & dangerous.

Funded by:

Congress has more important information things on their plate. How bout they focus on taking care of America first.

Congress should keep it's nose out of other Countries business. Too many dead US Soldiers because we are always interfering with other Countries. There are many other ways to show US citizens disapproval without getting our Soldiers dead.

Travesty? An American legal immigrant that’s a police officer is killed by an illegal immigrant....that’s a travesty once again you proved that you care more about foreigners than you do American citizens

Intervene in another countries legal system? WTF are you on? You want other countries to do that here? Wtf.

Did Qatar send this tweet directly? Or did you call and run it by them?

A Saudi trial in Saudia Arabia regarding a Saudi national who was killed by Saudi officials on Saudi soil...it is none of your business. The true travesty is your defence of someone who was an agent against his country. You should also look up the meaning of sovereignty.

So the US should be the worlds police? Even control the courts in other countries? This is not the duty of America. Also all information is not available so you are making a swift invalid judgement.

I'm thinking Wapo has more hidden about this story they dont want to surface.

We have no authority to intervene in how they conduct their they come here and tell us who should be on trial and how?We are not the conscience of the world

Foreign citizen, killed in foreign embassy, on foreign soil. MSM: America must act! Yeah, no thanks

Opinion: STAY THE FU*CK OUT OF OTHER COUNTRIES PROBLEMS!! AMERICANS ARE SO HYPOCRITICAL! THEY WANT RUSSIA OUT OF OUR POLITICAL ELECTIONS BUT THEN OUR ELITES CALL FOR INTERFERING IN OTHER COUNTRIES!! LORD😡😡

We have plenty to do here.. AmericaFirst FakeNews

None of our business.

This is an issue for Turkey or The Hague. Not our business

I can't believe so many fellow Americans approve of Saudi Arabia luring, murdering and dismembering a US resident

Why would we intervene? He wasn't an American citizen. Regimes across the world murder their own citizens daily and we don't intervene, why are you so focused on this one

They are..!😂

I doubt in the courts of America 'Do I have the right? off course not so why you?

Enough drama

Obama authorized the drone strike killing of a US citizen. Blew him to pieces and burned the pieces to ashes. Just as dead as Khashoggi. Do we want other countries insisting on justice for this?

Nope.

This has nothing to do with the USA. Quit with the propaganda. The guy was not a US citizen.

Why Are You Completely Ignoring Issam Akel, An American being Brutalized like❓ Khashoggi

Welcome to the dark world of espionage

A rogue newspaper of an immoral nature, you have no credibility, money has destroyed your reputation, remark, do not concern you to talk about an internal Saudi,

Not our business. Maybe you should worry more about actual Americans instead of Muslim brotherhood agents

ARE YOU AWARE THAT SAUDI ARABIA IS A SOVEREIGN NATION.. THEY ARE NOT IN THE E.U YOU TWITS.. AMERICA HAS NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO INTERVENE IN THEIR COURTS.. UNLESS YOU ARE WANTING A WAR WITH SAUDI ARABIA.. HOW CAN THE POST TWEET SOMETHING SO STUPID?

Wapo is a dumpster fire.

We respect Saudi's trial !

Congress is not the judiciary. Since no crime whatsoever has taken place in U.S., U.S. cannot possibly try the Khashoggi case. Why is Washington Post so eager to take down KSA & Crown Prince? Who is it representing?

Ah! It's all becoming clearer now. Your vile, hate-filled Khashoggi narrative, funded by Qatar, is pre-planned and orchestrated. Saudi Arabia has it's own justice system which is dealing with the suspects. BACK OFF and sort your own country out.

FAKE opinion just like your many PAID FAKE NEWS

Looks like it's hothes opinion, Under the influence of khat.

And who gives you the right to judge on others justice system This saudi arabia an independent country with an independent legal system. Can you understand that?

looks like QFI is paying their share this week and by the way it is none of your business yellow propaganda bullcrap makers

Fact: How Saudi Arabia conducts its trials concerns the Saudi Government. Not Congress. Not the US. And certainly not you.

If you don’t like Saudi Arabia, don’t live there. Mind your own business.

We have a New Congress. They are the truth seekers. They will insist on justice and not just for Khashoggi, but for all America. TeamPelosi

Unless it includes MBS, it’s a sham.

smartdissent Let's put pressure on realDonaldTrump and Krooked jaredkushner to do the right thing. It's pretty obvious they are just hoping the news cycle will move on and forget the atrocity.

Is the United States the government of the world? Lol

Where was such concern for the woman in Iran who was STONED TO DEATH LAST MONTH? If we are so concerned about people in other countries and their court systems... Shouldn't we start there? Or the SLAVE MARKETS GOING ON EVERY WEEKEND IN Lybia?

We have no doubt about the integrity of the Saudi judiciary. Our problem is only with mercenaries who trade in this case and want to blackmail Saudi Arabia.The principle of Saudi Arabia is known, is a state against blackmail and does not deal with these human

SecPompeo will get right on that.

NO! CONGRESS, BUT NOT NOW ANY MORE SHOULD HAVE INVESTIGATED OUR OWN JUSTICE SYSTEM = WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING IS THE RESULT OF DOING NOTHING.

No Congress needs to stay the F out of other countries.

I'm sure Congress will shake it's fist in rage at the Saudis.

'If the United States is to uphold its values'—It should probably invade Iraq again. That'll show those Saudis a thing or two.

Would the WP approve of other countrues interfering in our justice system.

and where is the expulsion of Saudi diplomats and sanctions.

Nope not our problem.

Saudi Arabia holds first court session in Khashoggi trial, prosecutors saySaudi Arabia did not name the suspects but said prosecutors were seeking the death penalty for five defendants. Meaning all accused will get a medal of honor and 72 virgins. Cosmetics. Well we already know the Prince is guilty so I expect him to be sentenced to being hacked to death forthwith?

Saudi Arabia says 5 face death penalty in Khashoggi killingDUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia announced on Thursday it will seek the death penalty against five suspects in the slaying of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, a killing that has seen members of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's entourage implicated in the writer's assassination. Prosecutors announced that 11 suspects in the slaying attended their first court hearing with lawyers, but the statement did not name those in court. It also did not explain why seven other suspects arrested over the Oct. 2 killing at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul did not immediately face formal charges. The kingdom previously announced 18 people had been arrested. I assume one of them is the crowned prince? But not the guy who led it all.. well that takes care of all the loose ends whoops I mean perpetrators
