Tribal divisions, based on political ideology, exist within all government institutions – including the intelligence community. To dismiss this truism is to be intellectually dishonest. Our recent American history has provided us a clear reference in the example of President Obama weaponizing the DOJ, FBI and CIA to target his political opposition, Donald Trump.
One theory is that Jamal Khashoggi held a strong alignment with Brennan-minded U.S. intelligence officials, hence his working relationship with the Washington Post. Under this premise Khashoggi would be negotiating with officials inside Saudi for a meeting in Turkey specifically because the Pro-Iran sketchy Brennan types have close relationships with corrupt Turkish intelligence officials and could monitor closely.
After setting up the meeting at the Saudi consulate in Turkey and coordinating therein; U.S. and Turkish intelligence were closely monitoring the visit anticipating the outcome.
I believe the theory is plausible. Alwaleed definitely wanted to avenge his treatment by MSB and his probable loss of beau-coup assets as well as loss of influence with the US politicos. All three could have been avenged by whacking Kashaoggi…and as a bonus it put PDJT on the defensive with the Dems, MM, GOPe and Never Trumpers. And the Turks – well I don’t think the Turks like anyone except themselves. They would never pass up the opportunity to poke Uncle Sam in the eye.
Brennan-aligned Saudi ideologues like ostracized Prince Alweed Talal; who use massive amounts of money to corrupt U.S. politicians and intelligence officials; coordinated an opportunity to strike back at Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MbS) through the death of Khashoggi.
This theory would explain the outcome and massive attention therein.
One of the biggest ‘tells’ for me in this whole ordeal is that CIA director Haspel flew to Turkey. If this were a diplomatic incident involving a US citizen and a foreign government, then why would Haspel fly there to investigate?
My theory: Khashoggi was involved with the CIA as an asset.
