Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting.

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."

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

This popped up on my commute this morning. It’s a loving observation from the ‘80s about the relationship between technology, authenticity, music, education, and the loss of humanity. Decades before AI talk, Timbuk 3 were on to something about tech and the erosion of art.

Seems like a safe prediction.
Will the DOJ say that they have started an investigation and nothing can be released till the investigation is complete?:

Well, in fairness, it's not like Trump has ever pretended to know anything about real estate.
There would not have been enough space on the opinion pages of newspapers or segments on cable news to cover the amount of outrage that the media would have directed at Joe Biden if he did not know the standard duration of a home mortgage, but Trump? Crickets.
