Broadcast by Turkey's TRT World channel and apparently obtained from security cameras, the footage shows vehicles driving up to the consulate, including black vans thought to be central to inquiries.
Groups of men thought to be Saudi are seen entering Turkey via Istanbul airport, checking in at hotels and later leaving the country.


Turkish investigators are looking into two Saudi Gulfstream jets that landed at the airport on 2 October. The video shows aircraft waiting on the tarmac.
Mr Khashoggi was visiting the consulate to finalise his divorce so he could marry his fiance, Hatice Cengiz.
He is seen on the video entering the consulate while she waits outside.

Turkey's Sabah newspaper reports that it has identified 15 members of an intelligence team it says was involved in the Saudi's disappearance. Among them was a forensics expert, it says.

Who is Jamal Khashoggi?
A critic of the crown prince, Mr Khashoggi was living in self-imposed exile in the US and writing opinion pieces for the Washington Post before his disappearance.
A former editor of the al-Watan newspaper, he was for years seen as close to the Saudi royal family. He served as an adviser to senior Saudi officials.

But after several of his friends were arrested, his column was cancelled by the al-Hayat newspaper and he was allegedly warned to stop tweeting, Mr Khashoggi left Saudi Arabia for the US.

Last week, the crown prince told Bloomberg News that his government was "very keen to know what happened to him", and that Mr Khashoggi had left "after a few minutes or one hour".

Most people think hes been killed. Theres another report that says the men bought a hacksaw, apparently to dismember the body.

Seven months ago...
https://theintercept.com/2018/03/21/jared-kushner-saudi-crown-prince-mohammed-bin-salman/
In late October, Jared Kushner made an unannounced trip to Riyadh, catching some intelligence officials off guard. The two princes are said to have stayed up until nearly 4 a.m. several nights, swapping stories and planning strategy, the Washington Posts David Ignatius reported at the time.

What exactly Kushner and the Saudi royal talked about in Riyadh may be known only to them, but after the meeting, Crown Prince Mohammed told confidants that Kushner had discussed the names of Saudis disloyal to the crown prince, according to three sources who have been in contact with members of the Saudi and Emirati royal families since the crackdown. Kushner, through his attorneys spokesperson, denies having done so.
...
On November 4, a week after Kushner returned to the U.S., the crown prince, known in official Washington by his initials MBS, launched what he called an anti-corruption crackdown. The Saudi government arrested dozens of members of the Saudi royal family and imprisoned them in the Ritz-Carlton Riyadh, which was first reported in English by The Intercept. The Saudi figures named in the Presidents Daily Brief were among those rounded up; at least one was reportedly tortured.
...
One of the people MBS told about the discussion with Kushner was UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, according to a source who talks frequently to confidants of the Saudi and Emirati rulers. MBS bragged to the Emirati crown prince and others that Kushner was in his pocket, the source told The Intercept.

Of course but then what else are they going to do with him afterwards? They're obviously not going to just let him walk out.

Fuck Trump and what he said, I guarantee he'd like to do that to plenty of journalist here. He's definitely in their pocket.

It depends. The intel community went out of their way to brief journalists on this. We dont know if they spoke with the guy or the Saudis ahead of time (because I believe they have a policy to warn people if they're walking into a setup like this, citizen or not).

Im sure theyre doing what they can in their power to make sure he comes back here in one piece but yeah in the end its up to the Saudis if that happens. Im saying theres no way he was dead once he walked in there.

One of them is supposedly a forensics expert. Seems like they needed a cleaning crew to hastily cover it up.

It makes me crazy that one of the few things both sides agree on is accepting cash money from and supporting Saudi Arabia

Friendly reminder that these motherfuckers are on the United Nations Human Rights Council
