The most interesting aspect of the\u00a0botched assassination<\/a>\u00a0of Jamal Khashoggi is the insight it creates into political conflicts in U.S. domestic and international policies.<\/p>\n

The Saudi clown prince Mohammad bin Salman unwittingly did a huge favor to Turkey\u2019s president Erdogan when he send a crew to abduct or kill Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Erdogan is in a historic geopolitical conflict with Saudi Arabia over supremacy in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The Turks had the Saudi consulate bugged. Every country in the world tries to plant listening devices into foreign embassies and consulates. It is no surprise then that the Turks know what happened within the consulate and use the evidence to squeeze the Saudis. Erdogan knows how to play the media and does his very best to drag out the story. He will press the Saudis for financial and political gains.<\/p>\n

On Monday the White House\u00a0floated the idea<\/a>\u00a0that a \u2018rogue killer\u2019 was responsible for the ghastly deed in Istanbul. Trump himself\u00a0led<\/a>\u00a0the campaign:<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump on Monday repeatedly highlighted the Saudi King\u2019s denial of involvement in the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, at one point offering up an alternative theory that \u201crogue killers,\u201d rather than agents of the Saudi regime, were involved.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

U.S. media made it seem as if the Saudis were flying that test ballon. But the Saudis rejected it way out. They say, to this day, that they are\u00a0not aware<\/a>\u00a0that anything happened in their consulate at all. It was likely Netanyahoo\u2019s errand-boy in the White House, Jared Kushner,\u00a0who floated<\/a>\u00a0the \u2018rogue killer\u2019 tale:
