“Things happen.”
Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist and Washington Post columnist who was literally murdered and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government inside a Saudi consulate.
Shameful. So shameful.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

There's a lot of very bad shit Trump is going to roast in hell for, but saying "Things happen" about Kashoggi's brutal murder by bone saw, and that MBS had nothing to do with it, so asking him "embarrassing questions" about it would not be allowed; That's top of the list, right after raping children

So glad you reminded everyone of the origin of most of the 911 terrorists. They came from Saudi. Trump has a major love affair with the Saudis and has gotten richer from them. His son in law has reaped mega dollars, too. No one quite knows why the Trumps are being paid, but it’s nothing good.

What Khashoggi had, was information on Jared Kushner and his family dealings. It involved the Saudi money he got and all the Middle East plans they made. So, yes. He was executed to avoid exposure. Jared helped him weather the blowback. It's insane.
