All the circumspection, laughter, and Trump administration statements that even at the time seemed bizarre and gullible, say critics, appear even more damning on Friday night after the Washington Post reported that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency believes the evidence shows that Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, directly ordered the murder of  journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

According to the Post‘s reporting:

In a statement in response to the Post‘s story, the Saudi ambassador denied the accuracy of the reporting—claiming he never lured Khashoggi anywhere—and said such a “serious accusation should be not be left to anonymous sources.”

One U.S. official familiar with the CIA’s conclusions told the newspaper that the agency’s “accepted position is that there is no way this happened without [the crown prince] being aware or involved.”

Offering further details, the Post reporting adds:

Since Khashoggi’s disappearance, the degree to which President Donald Trump and members of his cabinet—including Secretary of State Mike “I-Don’t-Want-to-Talk-About-the-Facts” Pompeo—have dodged and squirmed on publicly condemning the Saudis while accepting their denials has been characterized in numerous ways, including: impossible to ignore, “preposterous,” and a “disgrace.”

While the reporting on the CIA’s determination that the crown prince was the person who ordered the assassination was new on Friday, it’s nearly certain—if the assessment by an organization known for lying and misleading is to be believed—that the intelligence on which the agency has based this determination has been available to them—and therefore the president—for some time.

As the Post reports, the president has “privately” been shown the CIA’s evidence that the crown prince was involved, but Trump “remains skeptical that Mohammed ordered the killing.”
