What are the odds that the pseudo prez and/or Jared is involved in the murder?

I am about 90% sure that he knew about it ahead of time. I am about 50% sure Jared is involved in giving Salman names of "enemies" and the reporter was on the list.

TrumPutin has always been a vicious narcissist. It would not surprise me to learn that he uses the power of the office to seek vengence on those he perceives have wronged him.

Jamal Khashoggi revealing Saudi / U.S. weapon deal is not a good reason for his murder because the deal was in every major news anyway , What got him murdered revealing the bribes to Trump / Kushner for the weapon deal that Obama stopped before leaving office

if you use a very permissive definition of "involved"

I only give Trump a lower number because although I'm sure Jared doesn't go to the toilet without telling Daddy-in-law about it, I'm not sure Trump cares enough to listen to what Jared is telling him a lot of the time.

Trump wants him to do. Trump is free to get rid of him.

Trump deserves the Full , Main, and Most Blame for this.

I wouldn't put it past this mofo to push this idea on the Saudis, using him as a "test case" of sorts.

For those of you planning on replying by saying, "OH GOD...HE WOULD NEVER SINK THAT LOW!!", how many times have you uttered that, only to be proven wrong within weeks, days, hours...minutes?

Do I think they knew something about it? Yes, they are corrupt rogues. But I don't see them being involved any further than knowing it was going to happen.
